Working with a Travel Agent
What is a travel agent and how can they help me plan my trip?
A travel agent is a professional who helps individuals, families, and groups plan and book their travel arrangements. They can assist with everything from finding flights and hotels to planning tours and activities. Travel agents have access to a wide range of travel options and can often secure discounts and special deals that may not be available to the general public.
Is it more expensive to use a travel agent?
The short answer is NO. A travel agent is typically paid a commission directly from the cruise line, hotel or tour company, meaning you get their service at no additional cost! In addition, travel agents may have access to discounts and special deals that may not be available to the general public. Ultimately, a travel agent can save you time and effort by doing the research and booking for you.
