Can someone recommend a good agent for booking Holland America Cruises

Can someone recommend a good agent for booking Holland America Cruises?
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

Bar work may well require you to be able to speak Dutch, as most of your customers will more than likely be locals. You'd be better off searching for work in one of the many international companies in Holland, such as Shell, European Patents Office, International Criminal Court, Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Interpol, Eurojust, ESA... etc.

Only speaking English is a bit of a problem, high unemployment a bigger problem. But if you are not European, and as such need a work permit and all that goes with it, you can forget finding a job in the Netherlands. Some bars will employ English speaking people, when in the center of Amsterdam I sometimes feel a foreign tourist in my own country, as so many people working there speak no Dutch. Factory work and order picking and jobs like that, as well as call centers and some offices of international companies the jobs can be in English only, but you will have to realize that many Dutch speak fluent English, and there are many people willing to work for little money who have a working knowledge of English as well, even when they do come from countries to the east rather than the west.

Holland in general no too easy but Amsterdam, the easiest thing in the world! Everyone speaks english here, especially in the bars and restaurants you will find a lot of english speaking staff trying to make some money while in the Netherlands. Sometimes dutch staff members in a shop greet in english as you enter a shop, even if you're dutch! You will have no problems at all. http://www.yukiba.com/
