I have found you can do much better using almost any other travel agent. I think you would be shocked to find out how much less someone has paid for the same cabin type than booking via Amex.
Yes, because the discussion at hand was whether the cruise benefit was "worth" paying the annual fee.....which it is just by virtue of that one benefit alone.


I have never booked a cruise through AmEx Travel. You do not have to book through AmEx travel to receive the Platinum cruise benefits....
