Pete,

As already stated, what they asked is pretty much the norm for most of the agencies on the island. I wouldn't worry too much about it if I was you...... Empress has a pretty good reputation from all I've read here and heard from friends who have used them. They also have pretty decent pricing as I recall - I doubt you'll have any issues with them at all. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

As as afterthought, I just realized this was your first post and I thought I'd say, "welcome aboard and I hope you have a great trip!"
