Why a $600.00 diff. between t/a for same cabin

I am totally confused by cruise pricing. I realize that large t/a often buy out large blocks of cabins and therefore they are able to sell at a big discount! My highest price for an inside cabin with single supplement on the Explorer was 1,500.00 and lowest price was 899.00. These prices are OUT THE DOOR! What a spread! Your thoughts please!

Something is very wrong with one of those prices. There should never be a $600 difference on an Inside cabin on a 7night cruise on that ship... group space or not. I would suggest that one of those t/a's has made a mistake of remarkable magnitude.

Some T/As have quoted me prices on dates the particular ship I want isn't sailing. Some people on board actually booked wih a TA and paid brochure price. I'm amazed at some TAs - some really don't know what they are doing! And some really want you to pay the most they can get for their commission.

...and most of those won't stay in business for very long... market pressures will drive them out.
