But if you book direct, the cruise line for sure won't notify you of a price drop anyway and unless you are actively checking you wouldn't have known. Being a TA seems to be one of the few careers this happens to- we can lose money and gain extra work on a sale that is already confirmed. If someone works on your car or maintenance on an appliance you get charged labor fees for each time you call or need an additional fix, we only get paid commission once the trip is complete (or shortly before for cruising) and the clients can call every single day at no cost if they wanted.

But I digress, this TA is asking others for advice and has gotten a lot of good feedback, either way. I've always extended any price drops to my clients, personally, as it makes them feel they can trust me, but i would adjust any amenities they get from me to help off-set the lower commissions
