What if I miss a payment?

Because we automatically bill your credit card according to the Payment Schedule, you should never miss a payment! Our staff will e-mail you a reminder a few days prior to the charge.

In the event the credit card is declined or has expired, we will contact you immediately for an alternative credit card. A $35 dollar penalty will be assessed. Therefore, PLEASE contact us PRIOR to the payment due date should you need to change credit cards.

In the event we cannot reach you or payment does not go through, your reservation will cancel and you will be responsible for all cancellation penalties that apply.

How do I add a guest to my reservation?

You can add an additional guest to your cabin based on availability with the cruise line.  The prices for 3rd and 4th guests added at the time of the initial reservation is stated in the Pricing section. Additional guests added to a cabin after the initial reservation will be charged at the prevailing rate of the cruise line.

The cruise line will only allocate a certain number of cabins which can vary by sailing to accommodate more than two persons.

We will always do our best to accommodate additional passengers.

Can I make changes to my reservation?

Only Lead Passengers or guests who are authorized to make changes can request to change or remove existing guests, or to upgrade to a higher-priced category. Downgrading your cabin to a cabin of lesser value is not allowed. The Lead Passenger must request these changes by phone or email.

Because the Lead Passenger “owns” the reservation, any changes to this passenger are subject to a Lead Passenger change fee of $250, and will require a signed RESERVATION CHANGE FORM.

ALL changes must be received by a specific deadline. Please call for details. Each reservation is allowed one free name change prior to the deadline. Additional changes prior to that date are subject to a $50 administrative fee per change.

Any changes, including adding unnamed guests made after the deadline, but more than one week before the cruise are $75 per change. Any changes, including adding unnamed guests made within a week of the cruise are $100 per change.

Changes or additions made within the week prior to sailing must be done in person at check-in, and may incur a fee up to $250 per change.
