Donna,Several years ago my brother in law got us a deal on a Caribbean cruise through his local agent. The agent had booked rooms for a large company group and the group was unable to sell all the rooms but was going to have to pay for them all anyway. The agent sold the rooms for them at a very deep discount so they at least recouped some of the money.That's the kind of thing I think only an agent can come up with. And this didn't occur at the last minute because their money was due the usual time in advance.I have booked my last two Princess cruises online and been very happy with the prices, they easily beat out the cruise line.Several weeks ago, the Washington Post had a big article on the topic. They researched online through several web sites, got quotes from the cruise lines direct, and said online won every time. They did recommend, however, contacting an agency like Liberty Travel and giving them a chance to beat the rest.Dru
