Questions people ask before their first booking
Is the price the same as booking with the cruise line?
More often than not the total is equal to or less than booking direct, and we can add promotional rates and value-adds such as onboard spending credit the line may not be offering.
Who charges my card?
The cruise line. Your initial deposit, usually $100 to $300 per person, is charged directly by the line, and you receive a detailed email confirmation once it is processed.
Can I book for a group?
Yes. Get a cash rebate for the full fare of one person (excluding port charges and taxes) for every 8 cabins booked. Some restrictions apply; call to speak with a group specialist.
I already booked. Where do I go?
The Already Booked section: online check-in, documents, shore excursions, travel insurance, pier directions and My Reservation. Or call 1-800-352-8088 for additional support.
