Whether booking directly with cruise line or with a TA as an intermediary with the cruiseline, my understanding is that business-class fares are only provided for over-water (long-haul) portions of the itinerary. Is the the community's experience?
For those of you with American Express Platinum: There are two programs that help significantly reduce business-class travel: The IAP (International Airline Program) and Amex's deal with AA for cheaper rates on international fares. IAP rates can be up to 17% less expensive. Terms and conditions apply.
