Has anyone used Buycruises.com?
 
I booked a trip from this website today (I can cancel). I booked my flight too. I got a great rate for the cruise and an o.k. one for the flight. Any feedback?

I have never used them personally but have a friend who has booked many cruises with them and swears they are the best on the net. Have a great time.<BR>Toto<BR>P.S. Have you checked on booking your flights yourself? If they are flying to anywhere from the US to the US you can usually beat the cruise lines rate, sometimes by a lot. You might want to check before going through with booking your airfare through the cruise line.

Check your airfare on:<BR><BR>www.orbitz.com<BR><BR>I've used them several times, with great savings.

I just checked the price of a cruise that I have booked on Cruise.com and compared it with Buycruises.com. The cruise I booked with Cruise.com, for the same level of accommodations is $100 cheaper. I have used Cruise.com for two previous cruises and have always been pleased.

Used buycruises.com to buy my last cruise and didn't have any problems. Decent rate too. I would look into checking prices for air on your own - I did that because their airfare was more $$$.

I used them for my last cruise and they were great with both service and price. Keep checking with them to see if the price has gone down further. It did for me twice, substantially. No problems at all with them.

I just got back from a cruise I booked with Buycruises.com. I had no problems at all. They had the best prices of all the places I checked, and I checked a ton of places. I use frequent flyer miles so I never talk about airfare but I've heard by many that you can usually do better on your own. Also, where are you flying into and which pier are you leaving from (i.e. Miami to Ft Lauderdale)? As your usually better off NOT buying the transfers from the cruiseline. Taxi's are always cheaper and the piers are usually quite close to the airports.
