“Book directly with cruse company if you can. Companies like Viator keep popping up and they make it look like your booking director but your not. It costs more by going through a third party. They need to quit this scam. They do the same with booking hotels. Very frustrating. I have had them outright lie to me when I asked if I was speaking to a certain hotel. Cost me $50/ night more. NOTHING BUT A SCAM.”
