I'll never have TA/cruise line book my flights again. I did last time. Big mistake. I needed to reroute due to funeral. If I had booked direct
with airline I would have had more flexibility even if I had to pay change fees. Zero flexibility with cruise line/TA booking.

TA/cruise line booked me flight from Jax to Philly then philly to athens to cruise ship

I was in Maryland due to funeral and wanted to just drive to Philly. After numerous calls to TA not an option.

I had to get a Southwest flight from BWI to Jax, overnight in Jax (2 hours from my home) and then get my original flights
in order to keep my Philly to Athens leg.

I will never, never, never book the flights through TA/cruise line even regardless of price.
