The nature of cruise pricing is one where most agents have a "flat price." This means that if there is a "cruise deal" out there it is because the cruise line has discounted it for everyone.
The days when any one travel agent may give a ridiculously lower price on a cruise than another agent are over - if you want a cheap cruise on any ship the trick is to be date flexible and look for the sail dates where the prices are lowest.

I have to agree with Paul. I got a really cheap deal when I told the agent I can be flexible with the date.
I would hope that anyone who asked an agent to price cruises for him would book the cruise through that travel agent. It should be the same price either way, and I would rather have a travel agent on my side.
