Anyone used bidding for cruises?

1shipshape · June 22, 2010

Hi all, I'm wondering if any of you have used online bidding places for cruises you have taken? What has been your experiences? Good, bad, or ugly.... Just wondering if they companies on there are all on the up and up? Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I used My Best Fare Finder for my November 2011 back to back. I got a lot of responses and picked the one that I thought was the best deal.

Ive read of many who have used cruise compete and the reviews are all uniformly good. I usually use the travel sx. from Costco b/c their prices hae been the best I've seen though once CC came in a little lower.

I'm going to look at both Costco and cruise compete. I have never thought of Costco for vacation plans. You never know about that place, do you??

I think I used Costco a number of years ago. They usually use America Express cards. I know at their pumps you are pretty limited as to how you can pay for their gas. You do have to be a member.

Actually for charging a cruise you can use anything. I always use my UAL mileage plus. No problem. And now you can use any plastic when to buy something in the actual store. Next time you are in there you may want to get a travel brochure. They have land deals as well. They also have discounts on one of the luxury cruise lines, Regent I think. The preceeding icons maybe inappropriate but I luv using them.
