No fees.
No penalties. Just rates that are guaranteed to be less than the cruise lines
and most online agencies!*
*For
any cruise line such as Royal Caribbean and Carnival that prohibit all agencies
from discounting their prices, we will apply your discount towards travel
insurance or an on-board credit.
How
can we get the cruise lines to take less of your money?Here is how simple it is.
The
cruise lines set the prices on their cruises. If you book it directly.
They keep the full amount. If you book with an agency, the cruise line
will give the agency part of the amount you paid for the cruise as commission.
Discounts
come from that commission.
Most
large agencies with huge overhead like Travelocity, Expedia, etc, cannot
afford to give away any of the commission, so they don't discount. They
actually ADD extra fees! We always discount. We take 6% LESS commission
on all our members cruises! Only Royal Caribbean and Celebrity have banned
any form of agency discounting. It is as simple as that.
Many
people get confused about how the discount is calculated. There
are 3 numbers that make up the total charges for a cruise. Two of the numbers
are government fees. The cruise line only
pays
commission on the cruise fare itself. The 'commissionable' cruise fare
is what the 6% discount is calculated from .Let's
say you call Carnival and they quote you $1000 for a cruise. You will see
the same cruise for the same $1000 price at Travelocity, etc. That is not
the complete price! The three parts of the cruise costs are:
The
cruise rate
Port
charges
Tax
The
$1,000 they quote is the total of the cruise rate and the port charge but
NOT the tax! The tax can be from $15.00 to $500.00 per person or more,
depending on the cost of the cruise! Always know the complete price, INCLUDING
tax! Our quotes always include port charges and taxes. We
are simply sharing the commission with you in return for you doing some
of the work by researching the cruise online!
Your credit card is never charged by anyone except by the cruise line that
you are booked on.
Your information is never sold or used by any third party, ever.
We provide live customer service cruise specialists to handle all of your
needs.
Our PRICE GUARANTEE assures you that from the time you make your
deposit, until your final payment is due, we will check to see if the price
of your cruise has been reduced by the cruise line. We don't check once
or twice.
