Discount Cruises Knowledge Base
Can websites offering discounted cruises be trusted? I am searching for a discounted cruise and sites like vacationstogo offer really great deals on cruises like carnival and royal carribean. But how do I know I am really buying a ticket for that ship. Or will the website charge their service fee that eventually make the price the add up to same prices listed on carnival or royal carribean's website?
Discount group cruise for family vacation in August? I would like to do a group cruise of about 20 people for a mini family reunion in the Caribbean. Carnival says they are not offering group pricing for the ship I want to travel on at this time. Is there any possible way to get a huge discount or deals. In the group there are 2 seniors 5 children and the rest are adults. I found out for group travel the prices would be about $750. for the first 2 in the room and 500. for the next 2 in a room if booking a quad. Since they are not offering group rates, the price will be a bout 1100.00 per person. NOT a discount at all. How can I get past this, or get a better deal? I would like suggestions of web sites or any helpful advice.
A travel agency offering 50% discount but must pay a 7000USD membership fee?? Hey there, I was approached by a respectable travel agency, basically the deal is the following, I can get 50% discount on cruises, 30% discount on travel flights, 70% discount on Hotels and so on… the catch is I have to pay to become a member, and the fee to pay is 7,000USD! Plus a 100 USD yearly fee for ever… So, here is my question, has any of you ever been approached by such deals? And if so, what do you suggest I do? Is it really worth paying 7000USD!!?? Wow, that’s a pricy membership… Anyhow, thanks for your answers…
What is the best way to get the best deal / military discount for a cruise in Hawaii ? Who has the best offers for military? Or is there another way to see all the islands without going on the major cruiselines(Carnival, NCL, Celebrity, etc). I heard the best way to travel all the islands is indeed to travel through a cruise... but if you have better ideas let me know. As I said also let me know the best cruise options. I am deploying in September and want to take my wife to Hawaii when I get back. Thanks!

Why dose Carnival Cruises screw over there passengers with Fraud like quotes? Carnival Gave me a price quote 2 months ago for a 8 day cruise but wanted my Airline ID, I sent it to them and they said it as ok. 2 months later I get a bill and my cruise has gone up over $350. I contacted them again and they said they could not read the Airline name on the ID so they changed the price. Then they said resend it and I did. Then after they received it they gave me another price that I agreed to. The very next day they called my home and said that it was not a passenger airline so they would not give the discount. I had informed them over and over that it was a freight airline. I have emailed Carnival several times and even sent it to the top people. And No one at Carnival cares. CARNIVAL SUCKS when it comes to customers service. Any Suggestions???

Carnival Cruise, How do I get a balcony if they are sold out on Carnival? My hubby and I are wanting to take a Carnival Cruise for 5 days from Galveston, TX during Feb. 2008. I am trying to book the cruise, but I know it is kind of late doing so, and the balcony rooms are all taken. I know that travel agents or discount cruise companies purchase rooms in bulk, right?

who has used Island Marketing Ltd. for their shore excursions on West Caribbean Cruises? We are taking a cruise later on this year, the crusie line don't offer the shore excursion I want . I want to go white river tubing and go to Dunns River Falls . The lady that's in charge of the group we're going with says not to use other company for shore excursions use only the crusie ship excursions but Island Marketing is cheaper and goes where I want to go. They also take smaller groups then crusie line does. The lady has sailed with this line sevral times in the past and says she gets special treatment because of all the people she gets to sail each trip. I'm thinking the only reason she wants us to use the crusie line excrusions is so she gets more discounts or better treatment.
