Question Vacations to go dot com?

Anyone ever used them? They always have the absolutely lowest prices quotes in print. I have used them to show a "real" consortium agent to meet or beat. My question is: has anyone used them? Have you use it in similar ways?

I use them. However, I've never really dealt with them online at all, and call and talk to an agent. I've always dealt with one specific agent there, so she's gotten to know me over the years. I've booked all my cruises for the past several years through her, and my parents also have (I actually started with her because my parents had been happy with her service).

I don't know that it's appropriate to post her name here, but if anyone wanted it, I'd be happy to PM her information to you.

But it's very easy to talk to a real person there, and as far as I know, they're completely based in Houston, so you're dealing with people there.

Thumbs up reply for: vacations to go.com

We have used them and they were very helpful. Once you inquire with them you are assigned an agent so that person is familiar with you, your trip, etc. You don't get a different person each time you call and don't have to go through everything all over again or get different info. We will definitely use them again when booking another cruise.

I have used them 3 times and have no complaints. It is hard to beat their prices. One cruise was for Disney and I got a quote from them and then called Disney and they were more expensive. Don't know how they do it, but they provide good deals and customer service. Hope this helps.

A single cruiser discount? That'd be a first and something I hadn't heard of before as there's always been a single passenger surcharge/supplement. Which cruise line?

They probably mean that they did not have to pay the 100% surcharge for traveling alone. Some cruise lines do have a single rate that is not double the 2 person rate. Vacationstogo have a tab on their website for single cruisers.

Maybe but not paying as large a normal single supplement to me isn't the same thing as a "discount" no matter how you slice it.

Nope, sorry. When someone says they fell on your floor they didn't mean my ceiling. Too bad newbie previous poster hasn't returned to add more.

Voyages to Antiquity has very generous solo traveler deals.

Is it unusual for 3 newbie posters to sing the company praises? Two made it their first posts.
