I’ve had problems with travel agent bookings in the past so I always do it myself, IROP’s is much easier and faster to resolve if done directly with airline.
In premium cabins, many cruise companies have NET/CRUISE bulk fares that are cheaper than published. It allows them to offer a full package to their clients. Its not like booking through some crap OTA like Expedia or Orbitz.
