I imagine this is probably a pretty common question but I couldn't find an answer on here.
We're pretty inexperienced cruisers and looking to book another one for August 2024. We know exactly which date, cruise and cabin, just trying to figure out whether we should book direct (P&O) or through an agent.
From what I can see the main difference is the agent path enables us to select a certain cabin at time of booking compared to booking direct where a cabin isn't assigned until weeks or even days before departure. Are there any other considerations to keep in mind? Pricing seems the same from what I've seen so far. At this stage I'm leaning towards booking through Qantas Cruises for the quality to lock in a cabin and a few Qantas points as a sweetener.
Thanks in advance.
