Are Travel Agents of Any Value?
My wife's long-time cruise travel agent quoted us $1639 p.p. for an oceanview cabin on the September 19, 2015 Athens-Rome Princess Cruise (Emerald Princess). On the Princess website, the price of $1649 is quoted, but this is reduced to $1549 when I log in with my Ruby status (my wife is platinum).
The travel agent insists that $1639 is as low as they can go. The travel agent is aware of our travel history, having access to this infomation from Princess.
What's the truth here?
