I am planning my first cruise for next April and I’m wondering if it’s cheaper/better to book through the cruise website or travel agent. Thanks!

I’m planning on going on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise; and one of my traveling companions is a Japanese citizen (US PR). The cruise makes port calls to the following countries Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. I’ve heard conflicting information about the need for getting a visa in Egypt in advance. I’m told that I don’t need a visa (I’m a US citizen); but my Japanese companion does need a visa. Someone else told me that we don’t need a visa for the Japanese national. does anyone out there know the answer? my cruise ship company is surprising unhelpful.
