We have used them in the past. But we have already done our homework, and know what the going rate is for the cruise (s) that we are interested in.Sometimes they throw in perks to sweeten the pot. sometimes we do it to nail down the specific cabin that we like. Not all cabins are created equal lolWe then get the booking transferred over to our TA. You do not have to leave it with the cruise line.and remember, that you can always cancel before final payment. so if you change your mind or find something better, you are not stuck.Often you can just buy "future cruise credits" Your down payments are less, and you do not have to specify a particular cruise right then. they do have a time limit on when you have to use this credit, but it is usually at least a year.These days we are all seeing a lot of changes within the cruising industry, so next time you are cruising, go by and talk to them . You may find something that suits your requirements.
