Creator's Key Takeaways

the first is that you have full control of your booking that means any accommodations all that you have total control over that versus having someone else do that for you

in my opinion the pros outweigh the cons the first is you're working with a travel expert who can give it unbiased opinion on based on your own preferences

if you're a firsttime cruiser it's highly recommended that you use a travel agent to assist you with all the ins and outs of booking a cruise
