RCL Cruise - is there anyway to book via US site from UK?

Looking at booking a cruise with Royal Caribbean. Price on US site is same in dollars as it is in pounds.
But it won't let me book with UK address.
Is there anyway round this?

Can I use a US travel agent and if so how would I go about finding one?

Thanks in advance

Deb at Travel on a dream booked my cruise with RCL for next year. She has been great and even changed my booking to get a better deal and save a few hundred dollars at one point.

We have also used Deb Feaster at Travel in a Dream and had no problems. Would use her again.

The truth is that no UK TA will ever be able to match what a US site can for a cruise only deal departing the US, so if price is your main concern and you have a credit card to book with then use an American agent/website.

But then if you you want to book the whole package with one person and have the added extra peace of mind paying a bit more (I tend to find the UK agents about �1000 total more for 2 adults 2 young children) then use a UK based company as they might be able to sort you something out with flights that will help ease the pain.

Thanks everyone. Actually went with a Canadian TA in the end as was a better deal ( and it's a Canada/ New England cruise).

We've done many independent trips and are used to booking hotels, flights etc direct so we wouldn't really benefit from using a UK travel agent at a substantially higher price. Am very happy with my �400 flight to fly Glasgow to Montreal and then back from New York.

I can see it would be good if you were nervous about travelling though.
