Absolutely yes use a travel agent. Booking cruises can get very complicated--learned that the hard way when we booked ourselves. Will never do that again.

It is also very important that you use an agent that either specializes in just cruises or one that is a certified cruise agent. Again, because booking a cruise can get complicated, a good cruise agent will make sure that you get the best price and the best perks.

We just booked a cruise and got a discount that we never would have known about had we booked ourselves.

Bonnie Buchanan who is one of the sponsors here has booked a lot of cruises for TTOL members. If we didn't already have a great agent, we would also use her.
