Bigger Travel Agencies Are NOT Better

2008-06-23T05:19:00.000-07:00

I received a promotional email this morning from a travel agency that works with "the big cruise message board" advertising the Inaugural of Celebrity Equinox. What's interesting is that they're advertising "Balcony Specials" and it turns out Cruise Freek Forums is offering a better price, thanks to locking into pricing early AND Cruise Freek Forums is offering on-board credit for this very same sailing. Oh, I'm not kidding, here's the link to the ad from the big cruise message board: http://www.onlinevacationcenter.com/special_deal.cfm?specialsID=13359&hdrqrystr=cruise&rf=cc&cid=83&brand=ovc&tsid=369&logid=16084

NOTE: Read the fine print! You have to add on
Government taxes ($89.06) and fuel surcharges ($80.00) are additional and may vary.

And the link to what Cruise Freek Forums is offering can be found here:
http://cruisefreekforums.forumfreek.com/Celebrity-Equinox-Departing-August-8-2009-10-Nights-h60.htm

Cruise Freek Forums prices INCLUDE all those taxes and surcharges!

	Cruise Freek Forums	Big Board Advertiser
Price - based on a balcony cabin, Category 2C	$2788.06 after taxes & surcharges are added	$2818.06 after taxes & surcharges are added
Amenities	$50 on-board credit, pre-cruise package, travel agent escort	None
Pre & Post Cruise Packages	Yes. Fully escorted by your travel agent	None, you're on your own!
Fully Escorted	Yes!	No

So which travel group would you prefer to book your Celebrity Equinox Inaugural cruise? One that leaves you on your own after you book or one that is with you literally every step of the way? It's a no brainer, Cruise Freek Forums wins hands down!
