There are plenty- more important is to get one without hefty agency cancelation fees. You need to keep track of trends YOURSELF and immediately contact the agent and request any drops in price. There has been goog reports on www.cruise.com also try www.cruisemates.com bargain finder board, especially if you have your ship and dates chosen.

There are lots of things to check out.
When getting a quote, make sure you get the TOTAL price, which is cruise price , port, and taxes. Many advetise cruise only prices, others advertise cruise and port. Remeber there are taxes! So when a price looks good you have to know what it includes.
Some TA's have a handling/processing charge, usually around $25.00 or so, PP. Some don't.
Some TA's have a hefty charge if you cancel, for whatever reason. $75.00 or so PP. Other don't.

Just a WARNING about cruisecompete.com
If you do a search of my posting in Oct./Nov regarding this company you will see that you have to be very careful that the agent understands what cruise you want and then gets the correct quote from the line.
I requested a back to back and was given an unbelievably low quote which was actually for only one part of the cruise. Cruisecompete didn't catch the discrepancy
and I had a long series of e-mails to get the correct quote. Quite a hassle.
Just be careful.
Happy cruising, J
