The Royal Cancun

[Labebita911]

Hey Everyone,

 

New to this site, Getting married in July 2012 and was wondering did you use or hire a travel agent for your guest to use? Did they coordinate everything with the Royal? How does this work?

 

Any help will be grately appreciated

Congrats on your engagment!  We are not getting married at the Royal so I can't help you with that!  We went to a travel agent, who is a family friend, and she gave us some numbers for prices and what not and then kind of gave us an outline.  As we arent getting married until 2012, pricing and flight itinerary isnt available (in Canada at least).  But once those are available we will go back to her and find all the little details out.  After that we are planning on sending out her information with our invitations so our guests can chose to contact her or make their own travel arrangements.  Hope this helps!

In most cases travel agents don't cost anything,but if something happens, it's much easier to talk to them than reach someone at say expedia

I am getting married at the Royal April 15, 2011.  We did hire a travel agent.  It has been very helpful they communicate with the resort.  The fees were minimal only a $20/per person fee that gets added to the package price.  In any case you don't pay it.  I interviewed one agent who wanted $200 and had a per person fee.  Needless to say she did not get my business.  My one recommendation is to go with a larger reputable firm since your guests are trusting them with a lot of money. 

 

Good luck and Congratulations!

My group all booked through them.  It is nice because we put deposits down last fall and then the final payment for the travel isn't due until 2/25.  I don't think you get a big discount, but we get free travel for every 20 people booked.  My agent also reserved my wedding date with the resort and she communicates with them if I need her to.  Call and ask if they have an agent who specializes in Destination Weddings.
