Just a reminder that when looking at Internet based travel agents/agencies that most cruise lines will not allow them to post discounted fares on line. When Internet agencies did this years ago it was killing brick and mortar agencies and they threatened to stop promoting cruise lines that allowed discounting. The lines couldn't come out and stop discounting, really the Internet agency rebating a large part of their commission, but they could stop or limit doing business with discounters who openly advertised discounted fares. In most cases today you actually have to call, email, or use the Internet agency's on line quote request option to get their price and other incentives.
