I've used cruise compete on two occasions both were positive experiences. saves time in hunting down the best deal what's important to you bottom line lowest price or getting the extras OBC or gratuities paid you get multiple offers with choices that best fit your needs . booked a cruise for 3 couples once we agreed on the offer for us I gave the basic info to the rep . then any extra questions can be handled separate. the process was so easy and no worries if you decide to book elsewhere just turn off offers and answer a few simple questions... but plz don't waste the reps time read more

I had a very poor experience with cruise compete. The agent that I dealt with gave various misinformation on my initial cruise. When I booked a cruise with a different travel agent at a later date, they initially denied release of my reservation. After multiple unprofessional and rude emails, the reservation was finally released. I would not recommend cruise compete as there are many better alternatives. read more

I've been a platinum member since 2015 and have given this company lots of business. I recently had a very bad experience regarding them and the company I used through their website. I emailed them of my experience using two different ways to contact them. They never responded so I have to believe they don't care about the service their members receive or to make a bad situation better. read more

We booked 3 cruises back in October 2018 . At the time of booking I told the agent that we wanted early dining. Well!!! When I printed out our boarding passes , we found out that we had anytime dining. We don't like that and don't want it . I also found out that you cant change anything with the cruise lines ...you have to go through your travel agent ecen though i have all our booking numbers . . It's like your a second class citizen and have no control of your " own " cruise. You have to go through a lots of trouble to get your dining changed ..and still its a month till our cruise. We have been on 18 cruises and always had early dining. That way you are assigned the same table every evening and the same waiters. I'm at the point where I'm having second thoughts about using any travel agent ! Their mistake is now my problem . The booking agent was very nice ...but told us we would have to get on a wait list to change our dining options WTF.... it's our cruise and asking very little . Ive wrote Carnival, cruisecompete, and haven't gotten satisfaction from anyone yet! This may seem like a small problem ...but its a big problem to us. It just doesn't make any sense to be even having this conversation. So to summarize... beware , and make sure your agent listens to you when booking. read more

This is a first for me that I actually had to add a business not "local" to me. But, I just a a really great experience using a cruise booking site, and felt the need to write a review of my experience. I read a positive piece about CruiseCompete.com on the Forbes.com website. So I decided to check it out. We (my wife and I) are looking to do another cruise this year in November. The past 2 cruises we always booked directly with the cruise line. So the way CruiseCompete.com works is you search for the specific cruise you want to take, and then several established cruise travel agents send you the best price they can do that cruise for. A few of the quotes I received also included extra "perks" like on board spending credit, and a bottle of wine in the cabin. The deal we received was fairly close to the advertised price on the cruise companies website, but the we also received a $150 on-board credit, and a bottle of wine...so about $200 worth of perks. The agent we book through was incredibly helpful and answered all of our silly questions. So, if you are looking to go on a cruise in the near future, give CruiseComepete.com a try... you truly have nothing to loose, and a lot to gain if it works in your favor. read more
