Who do you book your cruise with?

[W3LUM]

We are about to book a 7day cruise for the 15th Dec (Western), just wondering if its best to book direct with DCL or if you can get a better deal somewhere else. The last time we booked with Virgin it was expensive, any suggestions please.

We priced ours up on the DCL web site then asked for a couple of quotes from US TA's to compare prices. They were exactly the same so we booked with DCL and got a $25 state room credit. we will transfer the reservation to Dreams Unlimited and will receive a credit from them as well.

Exactly what we did :smile:

British travel agents are very expensive :angry: ....... but I suppose they have to cover themselves in case the £/$ rate goes down once they have published their brochures, and some people would rather deal with UK agents.

I got a good quote from allseasons and vacationtogo and affordable tours.com all about the same,english agents to expensive have managed to get cat 11 for oct 2007 three rooms for 200 each,thats for nine of us.

I booked direct with DCL, but would also book through Dream Unlimited.

How do you transfer your booking from DCL to Dreams Unlimited :confused2 do you pay deposit with DCL then transfer the balance ??

I booked my cruise, paid the deposit, then emailed DU for a quote. Then told them I had a booking, they took all the details etc and transferred everything over to DU.
When the cruise was transferred over, I took advantage of the good $$ rate and paid the balance.

Nope - just ring / email DU and give your booking details - they will transfer it ...and there is no extra to pay...all terms remain the same and you still access your booking via the DCL webite (& book ressies etc).

Couldn't be easier. :thumbs-up

Iv just priced the 7 night Eastern Magic Cruise for Oct 08 with Dreams & Allseasons and Allseasons came out best by $85, not loads but every little counts. Dreams & DCL were same exactly!
That said, we really can't afford it next year but I wanted to get an idea of price so we can start saving for 2009!!

The Walmart website (travel section) is always worth checking.
