Did you know that when you book a cruise vacation, the final bill is (usually) not due when you book? Meaning, you can book your cruise at a fraction of the full cost AND have time to budget!
Cruising is one of my favorites ways to get away because of the flexibility of payments. Typically, you pay your deposit for the trips first. The deposit amount varies and can be from $50-200pp, a flat rate per cabin, or even a percentage of the balance due. Full payment will be due 90-120 days before you set sail. You receive notifications from me leading up to your cruise for reminder of payment. I will process payment when you are ready, super easy!
Don’t want to wait to pay? Heck that’s ok! Some cruise lines even give you an extra discount for paying in full right away. But make sure you’re letting your travel agent (me 😉) book your reservation. You do not want to loose out on extra perks, such as on board spending $$, casino cash, stateroom upgrades, and multiplier discounts!
Each cruise is different and there are refundable and non-refundable rates. Deposits sometimes can be transferred but most changes cannot be made once full payment has been placed on the reservation. Taxes and port fees are always due at final payment, but crew gratuities can be prepaid or paid for on the ship at the end of travel!
Side note: If you find a deal you can’t resist, let me check it out first. I can price match or go above what you may find! Plus you keep your loyalty because I work directly all cruise lines!
