Answer 2

I knew exactly what cruise would fit my vacation schedule, so I booked directly through the cruise line's web site.

Run a Yahoo search for cheap cruises. Some matches that come up will include VacationsToGo.com, CruiseOne. There are dozens of them.

Answer 6

I don't think there is any one way that is always the best deal for any kind of travel. The last cruise I booked, I checked all of the online sites, the cruiseline itself and phoned a travel agent. The best price was through the  cruiseline's web site. Six months before that the best price I found for a Mexican Cruise was through Expedia.com. It's a little work but if you check everything you can sometimes save hundreds of dollars.

I fly frequently and I do the same. First Expedia to see which airlines have availble flights for my destination, then all the travel sites and direct through the airlines. It's worth the time spent.

Answer 7

Agents will generally have the same exact pricing as the cruise lines. The benefit of using an agent is, not only the service, but also the blocked space, group deals, and incentives they might offer that cruise lines won't. As a cruise specialist, I know the myths that booking with the cruise lines is cheaper...it is really not always the case. If you are over 55, past passenger, etc. those are things that can discount your cruise as well.
