Has anyone purchased a cruise through Buycruises.com?
 
Are they reputable; were you happy with their services. I've found a cruise for $250 less per couple; no TA I've contacted has been able to match this price. Anyone have experience with them? Thanks.

Hi Jennie, <BR>I purchased a cruise for July 15th from Buycruises.com. I had no problems and found customer service was always helpful.I received my tickets shortly after I made final payment. <BR>Pat

Hi Jennie - Just returned from a cruise booked through buycruises.com. The price they quoted was the lowest I found also. They were excellent. I paid for the lowest cabin price, but ended up being upgraded to an outside cabin with a regular window. If you don't have a specific person yet, ask for Suzanne - very good travel agent - she corresponds via email and all questions (and I had many!) were always answered quickly. Paperwork was received with no problems after final payment was made. She wished me a bon voyage and then a welcome back! Would book through her again in a second. Email me direct if you would like her email.

I booked it! JD was my contact at Buycruises. I can't imagine using a TA again for a cruise. I took all the positive responses (here and other forums) I've found to this Cruise agency to convince me. These forums are wonderful for sound advice! Thanks! <BR> <BR>

Careful about buycruises.com I am an attorney in the travel industry with careful watch to dot com travel companies, and they are having financial problems just like so many out there. Please use caution.

Mr. Edwards, please give us more details. Sounds kind of scary. It seems everyone I talked to has nothing but praise about buycruises.com. I guess I'm committed now. I imagine that there are a lot of "iffy" on-line agencies, and I questioned a few that I received quotes from, but buycruises.com seems to be pretty solid. What in particular do you know? Give me some details about their financial situation. Thanks!
