I am looking to book a cruise early 2011 for a 10 year wedding anniversary. My current agent doesn't deal with HAL and doesn't know much about them. Anyone have any suggestions on individuals? I am in Springfield Illinois, but I think most work over the phone or internet fairly easily.

Springfield is fairly large and has quite a few travel agents. I suggest you make a few phone calls to find out who books with HAL! I find that it is ALWAYS better to deal with a local travel agent than anybody on the phone or internet.

I would call Holland American directly or deal with their website. http://www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-destinations/Main.action

I actually had good luck booking online with one of the websites that specializes in cruises. You can book what you want right online, but they also have a number you can call if you have questions. Since they specialize in cruises they are very familiar with all of the cruise lines and are very helpful. I've included a link to one I've used that I was very pleased with.

I would never book with the cruise line direct. You should always use a cruise specialist agent such as http://www.cruise.co.uk Travel agents are able to discount the cruise line price and more often than not, will save you hundreds
