So, using cowboy math, what you’re saying is:
Is that it?
- My TA quotes me $4,500 for the res.
- Agency/agent’s cut is, let’s just say, $450.
- DCL considered itself “made whole” once it received $4,050, which is why the site shows me “paid in full”.
- Had I booked myself, DCL still would have quoted me $4,500, and would not have shown me “paid in full” until they received the whole $4,500, because they (not an agency/agent) were the ones on the hook for pre-cruise support - phone calls, e-mails, processing payments, etc.
That's correct. There's absolutely nothing shady going on here; it's just a quirk of DCL's bookkeeping systems in regards to travel agencies and their commissions.
