Creator's Key Takeaways

I was scammed when booking a cruise trip, and it was kind of my fault.

After making our booking, we got confirmation, a booking reference, and everything else that made it seem legit.

If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I always track the price of a cruise and wait for it to drop and had noticed the price had gone down with a couple of other travel agents.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Trust your gut and back out if something feels off.
βœ“Check for pressure tactics in both physical and online agents.
βœ“Verify the cruise line's partner travel agents list.
βœ“Be cautious if asked to pay for things that should be included.
βœ“Test the agent's responsiveness before booking.
βœ“Ensure you receive a booking number from the cruise line.
