Duxfax, with due respect to your TA and other TAs out there, I don't appreciate that perspective about cruises paying more commission because, as a customer, I don't enjoy being convinced by TAs that a cruise will be the best vacation of my life. Cruising isn't for everyone--- but yes, this situation is a hard one for all: TAs and travelers.</font>
You can make that argument about anything. when I was looking for a new car last fall, I encountered salespeople who wanted to sell me what THEY wanted me to buy, and then I encountered salespeople who wanted to sell me what I wanted to buy. Guess where I bought the car? You are right, cruising isn't for everyone. If the TA doesn't listen to you and try to meet YOUR needs, then find another TA. Plain and simple.
