Hometown vs online travel agency: Which to use? |
Q: We’ll soon be taking our first cruise, and before we decide, we’d like your opinion. How do we get the best deal, by booking through the internet or the travel agency in our hometown? Submitted by Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Clarke A: The quick answer is that both can get you good deals, if you shop around thoroughly before committing to a specific cruise. We often book flights and hotel visits with our favorite online agency. It’s instant and the least hassle. However, because you’re planning to take your first cruise, we recommend you do it through your friendly, in-person neighborhood travel agent.
