I have a multi-part question here, and would appreciate all of your learned advice:

Situation

I have a 5% future cruise discount (FCD) on Seabourn, and yesterday I initiated a reservation (I placed it on hold). I have a few days to make my first down payment, and apply the FCD.

1. Can I get this FCD as well as transfer the reservation to some great TA, who would also provide a significant benefit?

2. What kind of benefit might be expected in this case?

3. How long might I have to make this transfer to the TA?

4. Any recommendations for a TA?

Many thanks!
