Things you need to know before booking a cruise!
1. MSC Cruises South Africa determines the prices of the cruises and agents need to abide by them. There are many factors that also have an effect on the prices, for example:
1.1 There are various types of cabins – Interior, Ocean View, Balcony, and Suite.
1.2 These cabins then have an experience class for example: Bella (cheapest), Fantastica (popular) and Aurea (expensive). Each of these offers a guest much more and upgraded services as you climb up the proverbial tree.
MSC Cruises operates on a dynamic pricing app that changes the prices DAILY!
2. MSC offers the agents a small commission for all the hard work they have put in by marketing the product and dealing with clients. This is one of the basic standards in the travel industry, however, this is NOT the case for themed cruises. Now, we as agents are pretty much on par with the thought of most people that they will not work for free! In the case of a themed cruise, agents are allowed by law to charge an administration fee which will be added to your booking. This is now done by most airline agents worldwide.
The admin fee is usually added to your required deposit. On standard cruises, agents may take their commission upfront (just in case you cancel and then they have done all the hard work for nothing)
Please do not waste an agent’s time by saying “Hey I can get it R5 cheaper from my brother who is also an agent”! We at CSA, quote exactly what the MSC booking portal for agents supplies us – except for themed cruises as mentioned above.
