Sorry, but I fail to see how ANY cruiseline can tell a TA what she or he may/may not do with THEIR commission. I'm hearing that RCI IS trying to ensure that most-if not all- pax start booking directly with the cruiseline. They evidently think that not paying TA commission greatly improves their bottom line.

I booked a Celebrity cruise right before this started. I had already decided that the upcoming X cruise would more than likely be the last for me. Now, the Sahara will freeze over before I book another Celebrity cruise!

What X is doing may well be perfectly legal, but it screams of price-fixing to me, legal or not.

I don't mind paying more for Radisson, because it is worth every penny. Same cannot be said for RCI/Celebrity!

My idea of roughing it is when room service is late!
