Cruise travel agent?
Does anybody have a travel agent that they have been happy with for a cruise? Normally I book everything myself, but because we are a family of 6, finding cruises where I don’t have to call and book has been non exsistent. And basically talking on the phone with a 2 YO is also non- exsistent lol.
TIA!

Re: Cruise travel agent?
https://sixsuitcasetravel.com/big-family-cruises it may be more cost effective to have two adjoining rooms than one room for 6 people. What I've found (and we are a family of 4) is that if you book early enough, often the 3rd and 4th passenger is free. So if you have 2 rooms, then you end up getting your kids for free. But you need to book early. Now are there rooms for 6, yes, but they are usually 3 to 4x the price of booking two adjoining rooms. We booked two rooms because we ran into occupancy rules, where not more than 2 could be in a room, so we paid $3500 for two rooms. It actually was only $800 more than for one room where the kids are free, but now we get two bathrooms and privacy. So we were ok with it. It might be something to think of for you too.

Thank you! I appreciate the advice since I’ve never cruised before with kids. But it seems I still can’t book online with adjoining rooms or am I looking wrong? It tells me if I want rooms close together I need to call. I’m booking for 2020, so at least I’m early!
