Is this legitimate?

Within a couple days of booking and paying a deposit directly with the cruise line I received a e-mailed message from an on-line discounter indicating if I called them they likely could provide a cost saving. An 800 number is provided. Has anyone else experienced this and how did it work out ?

My question is "how did they know you had booked?"

I've never had that happen. Sounds fishy.

They learned of it from my response on the CruiseCompete site when I closed the quote request.

I think I'd start with the CruiseCompete folks. Don't think their member agents are permitted to do this. I've used them a couple of times with no problems, but never received anything like this.
