Question by Stacy Cervenka: Looking for a good cruise travel agent for a South Pacific, Australia, and/or New Zealand cruise?
My fiance and I are looking to take a cruise to either the South Pacific, Australia, or New Zealand for our honeymoon in December, 2011. It is the first cruise either of us have ever taken, so we’re hoping to find a good travel agent who is familiar with cruise lines in this part of the world. We’re young professionals who are just starting out in life, so we probably won’t be taking any luxury lines (Paul Gaughin, Seabourn, etc) unless we can get a really great deal! We’re most likely going to be taking something on Princess, Royal Caribbean, or another more affordable line. Does anyone know of a good travel agent who might be able to help us? Thanks!!

Just look in your yellow pages for a travel agent that specializes in cruises. I use a company called cruise planners so you may look to see if you have one of those in your home town. In 2007, I took a cruise much like you want to take. It started from Sidney, Australia, went to 5 ports in New Zealand, then to many islands in the South Pacific, then to Hawaii, and finally to Los Angeles, California. Is was at that time 29 days long. Now, I believe it is 30 days long. It was with Princess cruises. This particular cruise only happens once a year so you need to book it way in advance. It is called a repositioning cruise, so it may not be listed in all the Princess cruise brochures.
