Hi guys
I'm trying to book a cruise on the Princess cruise line and www.cruise-pros.com are the cheapest. Most of the online bookings that are cheap, require you to be a US citizen which I am not.
I have however never heard of this company, but they are cheap, so I already like them. Has anybody used them or know about them or know where to find out if they are legitimate. I don't want to fork out $1500 and then find out it's a Nigerian scam and somebody is walking off with my money.
Any advise would be great.
Have a super day

As long as you pay by credit card and read the terms carefully, you should have recourse. When in doubt pick up the phone and call. Make sure an address is listed. Cruise contracts are notoriously problematic--they almost never issue refunds, and it sounds like you're purchasing through a consolidator.
FYI Many US travel websites will only accept US credit cards online because that's all they can verify instantly through the processors they use. However they can potentially accept an overseas card by phone.

Princess has a dodgy reputation.
The only cruise I recommend is the inside passage to Alaska.
I´ve been on several criuses with my mom. They are a fattening scam.
Good only for couch potatoes, who go for the criuse. Not for really seeing any countries.
They allow only 8 hours shore leave.
Its a hussle all the way.
Law can do nothing about them.

If you will wire me the $1,500 I will make you reservation AND enter you in the Powerball Lottery

So, #2, how many tons do you weigh? And what do you do between cruises while living in your mom's basement?

Geez, #4, that was gratuitously nasty.
So, okay, your profile says you don't suffer fools gladly. I can sort of accept that. But there wasn't anything foolish about this post, and it was a reasonable question for this forum. Where's your objection?

A really good place to ask this question is the message boards on Cruise Critic There are boards for specific cruise lines, as well as boards for discussions about cruising in general. Cruise critic is where veteran cruisers hang out.
