No, there’s absolutely no extra cost to you when you book through a travel agent.

Travel agents are paid a commission directly by the travel supplier (such as a cruise line, tour company, or hotel) after you travel. This means that travel agent eearnings come from the supplier, not from adding any fees or markups to your booking.

When you use a travel agent, you pay the exact same price you would if you booked directly with the supplier yourself.

In fact, you often get extra value (such as personalized service, expert advice, and sometimes special perks) for no additional charge.

Your travel agent can even monitor your fare after booking and, if the supplier’s terms allow, help you secure a refund or onboard credit if the price drops.

So you get the same rate, more support, and peace of mind, all without spending a penny more.

Using a travel agent offers many benefits that can make cruise planning easier, and even more affordable since agents know how to find the best deals, especially if you're new to cruising or feel overwhelmed by the many decisions involved.

They also advocate for you and do the tedious stuff, like waiting on hold with a cruise line on your behalf, if something goes sideways with your trip.

Instead of booking cruises directly, I work closely with trusted booking partners who help clients choose the right sailing, cabin, and dining time and can answer questions every step of the way. And our team does more than just cruises, too!

In addition to helping you choose the perfect trip or itinerary, and maximize any deals or savings opportunities, our team can also sometimes access perks like onboard credit or exclusive group rates.

The biggest advantage of using an agent, though, is personalized service.

Instead of guessing or hunting down answers to your travel questions, they're the pro you can turn to. If something changes or if you need to make adjustments, my partners take care of it for you. This is especially valuable if you’re booking multiple cabins, traveling with a group, you're a less-seasoned traveler, or need help navigating different cruise line policies.

Cruise pricing is the same whether you book it yourself or through a travel agent. So, you're getting expert support without paying a penny more, and sometimes saving money or getting extra benefits in the process.

If you’ve already booked your cruise, resort, or vacation direct, but have decided you prefer the full service that a travel agent provides, we can sometimes step in to help.

And again, using a travel agent comes at no extra cost to you, and in fact, you may qualify for OBC or other perks.

When you transfer your reservation to our team, my trusted booking partners take care of the details: watching for price drops, assisting with upgrades, managing payments, and providing expert support every step of the way. 

With a takeover, you keep your original booking but gain the advantage of having a personal travel advocate. Your travel agent will make sure your trip is smooth sailing, all at no extra cost to you!

Note that we will NOT take over any booking made by another travel agent. That's shady, and that is not our style. This applies to independent bookings only.

Nope, our team does it all!

While I personally only book cruises, and I only book them under the self-service option, my partners can book resorts, all-inclusives, flights, theme parks, group trips, honeymoons, and more.

In fact, one of our travel experts is even a specialist in destination weddings! 

Whatever your travel needs, they can help.
