If you can do your own research to choose a cruise, go with the agency with the best deal.
Try http://www.CruiseCompete.com
You pick your cruise, then agents compete to offer you the best deal.
Happy cruising!

RCCL does not allow agents to discount the price - so the price most likely will be the same from agent to agent. Though, they do allow agents to offer incentives such as free insurance, etc....
I am not sure if NCL allows agents to discount. Holland America, Princess and Carnival still allow agents to give you a discount.
I would probably recommend Cruise Compete to give you a good range of prices for the lines that discount. Before you pick an agency, do some research on the internet to see if there have been any problems.

I went on an Alaska cruise this past August with Holland America Line. Once I narrowed down our dates, I priced the cruise with every method I could think of online, direct to cruise line and with travel agency (AAA). VacationsToGo.com had everyone beat. We got an outside suite for the price others were charging for a standard cabin. Had a wonderful cruise - would recommend both HAL and Vacations To Go!

RCL and Celebrity do allow their top agencies to offer onboard credits up to 10% of the commissionable amount of the cruise. As this is as good as cash, it can make a big difference where you book--shop around.
