Hi All -

In the past, as I recall, wasn't the rule of thumb that if you go to
let's say, Carnival's website, and get a price on a cabin, that the
price should be lower if you go to a TA?

Wasn't brochure prices always higher than the price a TA gives you?
Does this even make any sense?

Anyway, its just that when I go to let's say cruiserewards.com, it's
the same exact price as Carnival. I thought there was supposed to be a
difference.

Actually many of the cruises lines have policies against rebating (the
most common forms of discounting) as well as against advertising lower
fares. Lower fares are sometimes available and lower prices and perks
are a part of group pricing whjich is not allowed to be advertised to
the public but can be sold.

About brochure prining, it has always been and still is a figure from
wich the lines can offer discounts. Nobody pays brochure (a word to the
hoards who have an exception to the rule to beat me with go ahead,
exceptions happen)
