Hi Yorkie family, thank you all so much for the support you have shown us over the years. I wanted to take a moment and invite you to follow our travel page Taylor Travel Planning. Every single follow or like that we get on our posts helps to support our small business 💕
Does it cost me more to use a travel agent? What can you do for me?
This is a little long, but good info.
I saw a post today where someone was asking for information on a cruise, but they didn't want to use a travel agent. The first time I booked a cruise, I thought this way too. Why? because I thought you had to pay or pay more for a travel agent/planner to do all the work for you. I even priced out the cruise myself and compared it to the price the travel agent got for us.
Tip 1 - you do not pay us to book a cruise for you. You will actually pay less than you would going through the cruise line and booking it yourself. Sometimes we can get you a large savings, sometimes only a little...either way you are saving money! Even if you have earned a free cruise, we will book it for you for free.
Tip 2 - when using us to book your cruise, we do all the work of searching for the best deals, sitting on hold to get questions answered and can explain to you some of the differences you might not know...for example, what is the difference between an Ocean View Balcony Category D5 and an Ocean View Balcony XB GTY (We just had this one yesterday).
Tip 3 - you still have access to your booking and are able to book excursions and drink packages yourself if you want to do it. We will walk you through how to do it on-line. We will also have you download the mobil app and explain how to use it.
Tip 4 - You get our help with any questions about all the things AND SO MUCH MORE. For example - Royal Caribbean bound?? Book all the shows you want to see as soon as they are available on the app. Do not wait until you get on the boat!
Last one for this post - if you booked it yourself and have not made the final payment, call us. We might be able to still get you savings or benefits you don't have currently.
Thanks for sticking with us if you got this far!!
Rick and Billie
