Cruise Bookings Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 What’s included in the cruise price?

Your cruise fare typically includes your stateroom, dining at select restaurants, onboard entertainment, and scheduled port stops. Some extras—like specialty dining, excursions, spa treatments, and alcoholic beverages—may be available for an additional charge.

🔹 Can I book flights, hotel stays, excursions, and transportation through you?

Yes! I can help arrange flights, pre/post-cruise hotel stays, excursions, airport transfers, and more. Just let me know what you need and I’ll provide a custom quote.

🔹 How much is the deposit, and when is final payment due?

Deposits vary by cruise and cabin type, but most cruises require a per-person deposit followed by a final payment due 90–120 days before departure. Exact deadlines will be shared at the time of booking.

🔹 Can I request a different cabin type or number of travelers?

Yes! While most rates are based on double occupancy for select cabin types (Interior, Oceanview, Balcony), I’m happy to provide custom quotes for suites, solo travelers, or family arrangements—based on availability.

🔹 Is travel insurance available?

Absolutely. I highly recommend travel protection to cover unexpected cancellations, delays, or medical emergencies. I can include options tailored to your trip.

🔹Are gratuities included in the cruise price?

Prepaid gratuities are usually optional and can be added to your booking. If not prepaid, they will be automatically charged to your onboard account daily. I’ll clarify this for your specific cruise when booking.

Cancellation policies vary by cruise line and timeline. I’ll provide you with the exact terms when you book. Travel protection can help safeguard your investment.
