PCC – Pseudo City Code

What is the meaning / definition of PCC , in the hospitality industry ?

PCC stands for Pseudo City Code and is a GDS code, used to identify the location of a travel agency.

It is a short (usually 3-5 characters long) alpha-numeric (or combination of both) code and differentiates between different travel agency offices. The code is unique to each travel agency.

A PCC code is important to insert negotiated rates as these can be defined/ secured to an agency by using their code. Based on the location of the agency, travel providers can negotiate conditions and restrict or allocate certain privileges.

PCC allows travel agencies to stay anonymous and be identified only by their location. The code also allows the travel agency to see all booking of an individual agent. It is commonly used in the aviation industry.

Synonymous for PCC are Subscriber ID or Office ID (OID).

NCL PCC vs travel agent?

By metrygal , February 5, 2018 in Norwegian Cruise Line

Recommended Posts

We used a local travel agency to book our first NCL cruise and I personally had to keep up with price drops, etc and felt like I did most of the work - so for the second NCL cruise I booked directly on the internet. We met someone on the cruise that gave me the name of a Travel Agent he uses long distance that usually beats the NCL rate and gives extra onboard credit. I used her for the third NCL cruise and she did in fact beat the published price and give us extra OBC, but it was rather impersonal. I’ve heard people talk about their NCL Personal Cruise Consultant and I’d like to hear from those of you that use them. Do they have better deals than online?

Do they keep up with price drops, incentives, perk changes, etc?

Do they have any extra perks?

What are your experiences with PCCs vs TAs?

We’ll be Platinum in seven nights (if that really makes a difference)

Thank you all 🌞 🌞 🌞 🌞

I have been on 36 Norwegian cruises ALL BOOKED through a travel agency in my hometown. He gets real good deals with the cruise itself, airfares to and from the cruise, whatever hotels I may need along the way and handles my travel insurance. I would NOT go anywhere without his helps. Several times, he has re-booked flights for before I got to the airport and knew I needed to change flights.

A few days before I leave home, he makes sure that I have all the documents that I may need. This time last year he helped me renew my passport.

So after this next cruise of 7 nights you will go from GOLD to PLATINUM !

Good deal but really does not make much difference in the reservation booking.

The status is for onboard service and not reservations but then again it does

not hurt to tell who you are dealing with about - there maybe some hidden

incentive offers not advertised that would be available to you.

As regards dealing with NCL on the phone internet through a PCC or a TA

I subscribe to a bit of NCL internet website and my TA.

Phone agents I don't care for unless they have the time of day to talk ship with me.

PCC are perhaps just like NCL phone agents still with loyalty to NCL and not so

much with me the customer.

Enter with fan fare my TA !.

The agency here offers the same OBC and benefits as NCL and has bonus perks of

airline miles/points worth a great deal more than any OBC.

The TA website offers a more rapid way to check on fares cabin availability and a

great deal better graphic display of that availability.

Like most TAs they have a direct line to NCL with no waiting on hold.

Sure the TA charges a small fee (non-refundable) but that fee is peanuts for the

fares I am booking. Cancel the booking the fee moves to the new booking.

I like working and booking through my TA and would not change it to any other way !

I was assigned a PCC when I was looking at my first NCL cruise. He didn't offer anything different than exactly what was on the website and said he couldn't match any of the deals websites or travel agents were offering. I booked with a travel agent because duh less cost.

He also called me way too much after I told him that if he couldn't match what others were offering I had no reason to book with him.

I use both, primarily because of the perks that my TA offers. I do all of my own research, and after finding the cruise I want, with the cabin I want, I call NCL (no PCC necessary). I set up the reservation with the perks offered by NCL, and then contact my TA, and transfer the reservation. Without question, I will get a good chunk of OBC from my TA. Because I know what cabin I want ahead of time, I don't look at upgrades.

If you go with a TA, make sure they have a few yrs of experience booking cruises. Ask a lot of questions. Make sure you know their policy toward cancellations, or changes to the reservation.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks to each of you.... I’ve found a wonderful TA and will proceed from here after doing my research first!!

6 Crusies, a couple dive trips, multiple land vacations (including Hawaii, Central and South America) and never felt the need for a T/A. But to each his/her own.

This discussion is about using a Travel Agent versus using a Personal Cruise Consultant.

I have used only my PCC for years and have never had a problem. I love the personal attention I get from him. He always get me the lowest rate even after I book. We drove down to FLL in November because I really don’t like to fly. He not only let us park our car by his place for the week but took us to the cruise terminal in Miami and then came back and picked us up the following Sunday. It was so great meeting him face to face after all the calls back and forth. We all went out for dinner and became friends. For me, this is more important then saving a few dollars or getting extra OBC. BTW, he placed number one in sales for NCL this year.

I’ve been cruising for over 20 years. Many years back before I became a NCL Groupie, I once used a TA. Because of booking through a TA (3rd party) I found it a bit tricky to solve an on board issue. I only, and will only now book with a PCC. He is so knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Just this week he immediately helped out with a reservation glitch (no fault of NCL) on an upcoming cruise.

We use a TA that only handles cruises, she always gives us extra OBC, is great about helping us watch price drops and work our way up to improved rooms when possible. Since we have history she now often has some something, wine or a gift in our cabin when we board. We believe in relationships as much as rock bottom price. NCL PCC has no incentive to help you once your booked, but a good TA will keep working FOR you to hopefully get your return business

PCC to Travel Agent question

CruiseMark

By CruiseMark , February 4, 2023 in Holland America Line

Recommended Posts

1,000+ Club

Is it possible to transfer a booking from a Holland America Personal Cruise Consultant to a Travel Agent?  (within 30 days of booking).

If so, are TA‘s able to offer additional perks or benefits?   I was hoping to find one who automatically checks for price drops. Extras beyond that would be a bonus.

(Yes, I have a watch set up for price drops already, but was hoping to remove the hassle and let someone else deal with it)

Recommendations welcome.

What you get from a travel/cruise agent is somewhat negotiable.  A few years ago we got a phone call from our assigned PCC who tired to convince us to book through her.  I asked her one simple question which was "can you match the deals we get from our favored cruise agencies?"  Her answer was "No" but she suggested we could still book with her and then transfer to a cruise agent.  My response was "why should I go through that multi-stop process" and by doing so, I lost some leverage when dealing with cruise agencies (we shop around).  

We have never found a cruise agent who routinely checked for price drops.  Our favored agents handle hundreds of bookings and do not have the time to be watching for each client.  If they do have the time, one might wonder why.  We do our own price checking (sometimes twice a week) and when we spot something worthwhile, we simply send a quick e-mail to our cruise agent who quickly deals with the issue.   There are other advantages to using a decent agent.  A few weeks ago we booked an 18 day cruise on a luxury line which came with a generous OBC from our agency.  The following day I received a call from our agent who said "I have good news" and then told me their consortium was tossing in an additional $1000 of OBC.   These kinds of things do not happen when booking directly with a cruise line but we understand that many cruisers have no interest in saving money and prefer to book directly with their cruise line.
