Does anyone have any recommendations on cruising websites to book with that are reliable and offer extra benefits? Instead of going through the actual cruise line's website.
Which are good or who to stay away from.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

It's basically having travel agents bid for your business so it works in your favor. I've done it 2x and have gotten great perks. Cruise prices are usually about the same so the perks makes all the difference...

This. We have booked 5+ cruises and always had success.

i have booked many cruises with them and if you book anything over 5 nights, you get free travel insurance!
My sister has used them to and she has booked interior rooms and then like 2 weeks before the cruise she will get an email saying they bumped her up for free to an ocean view.

Re: Cruises-Website/Booking
Thanks for responses!!
I have tried Vacations to Go in the past and usually go to them first but the cruise I want to go, many websites don't differ in prices. That's why I was looking if any offer bonus'.
Thanks for recommending cruise compete. I got two really good responses for them.

Another thing you might want to try is United Airlines or some other company that offers rewards/points.
You can either redeem the points you already have for the cruise trip, or you can earn points for booking the trip.
Last time I booked a cruise on United/Continental and got 25k in points (worth one domestic trip) and $75 in onboard credit.
