That has absolutely been our experience. ^ We've been dealing with the same outstanding agent for several years after she was recommended by fellow cruisers. She happens to be a couple of thousand miles away in YYZ. Her company, like others, sometimes has bulk cabins reserved on cruises we're considering, which can also sweeten the deal.
It's the only aspect of our travel experiences for which we utilize a travel agent and we'll continue to do so happily.
