ecruisestore ??

Does anyone know about ecruisestore.com ? One of our members has booked a RC cruise through them, but when I go to their website, it doesn't look like they represent RC?

They have a link that redirects you to the RCCL website. The booking will be with ecruisestore.com.
Something new to me.

That link is to what is known as a co-branded site. Quite a few suppliers have that capability now. The links from your site take the user to the supplier site for booking. The linking site gets the credit for the sale.

Personally, I don't recommend anyone to book online. Go ahead and research if you want, but at least talk to a competent Travel Agent before you book. The online engines don't always take into account all of the special fares that are available on many sailings. Some are, but some aren't. Examples of the special fares that MAY be available include:
  • Senior fares
  • Military fares
  • Fares restricted to residents of particular states
  • Firefighter and Police fares
  • Union member fares
  • One-day specials
  • Blocked Group rates
  • others
A good agent will look at all possible fare codes that you qualify for, and will ask questions to see which ones you do qualify for, to ensure you get the best value for your money. An online booking engine won't or can't do that for you.

Thanks for the answers. I think our member got a bit ripped off. Darn.

When is he sailing? Is it outside of the cancellation penalty? Does this member qualify for any of the other mentioned fares? Are the rates today lower than the rate that he purchased? RCCL normally honors fare reductions in most a cases.

Morning!

Vickie has offered to help you on this(she is a ta.). Email her with all the info. OK?
I got a pm from her last night and it's still possible that you can get some relief on this.
