Planning A Vacation

#1 Postby Janice » Wed May 17, 2006 2:34 pm

Do you use a travel agency or hit the web to plan for your vacation or cruise.

I am always looking for the cheapest agency. What have you found offers the best rates for cruises, etc.?

I have always used Travelocity, but looking around I find some cheaper.

I just wonder if I am missing some good ones.

Thanks, all. I will check them all out. We usually wait till the last minute, like a week ahead, to save money. The ships come in SanJuan and have lots of empty rooms, so we like to catch one.
