Is it better to go with a travel agent......................

If you are booking a cruise? Just wondering because FH and I would like to cruise for our HM, but I am debating whether it would be better for us to deal with an agent or to cut out the middle man. Anyone have any experience either way?

Personally, I have done it both ways and learned my lesson with it's better to have a middle person. I just have a more comfortable feeling knowing there is someone I can call if there is a problem or ask a question, etc...

I've travelled with both. for the amount of money I was spending, I wanted a TA who could help me out, get better discounts, etc.

For that, I went to Leslie at Travel Solutions - a vendor on here! She rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with this. This is your HONEYMOON you want to be able to not have to worry about anything! You just had to plan this whole wedding and why have to think about MORE stuff!
