Why doesn't my cruise have the lowest rate available?
- When looking at advertisements that include multiple cruise date, the advertisement offers the lowest possible rate for any of the dates. Thus, if you have chosen any other date, other rates may apply. Also, depending on how full the ship you want to sail is at the time you seek a quote, the rates may be going up as the ship fills up. Generally the closer to cruise time, other than for sailings which are not selling well, the rates will go up steadily from opening for sale until all cabins are sold out. You will also likely run into a situation where choice cabins are gone from inventory the closer to the cruise date you wait to book.

Who is the best cruise line?
- Ah, an interesting question. What is best for me may not be best for you and probably is not best for my neighbors. That is exactly why we provide the professional services we do, where we can help match your desired cruise experience to the right ship and cruise line. If you are considering a cruise perhaps picking a destination you want to see is your best best and then based on who you have going and what you want to do we can match you with a good ship and sailing. Of course pricing can factor in and is considered as we assist you in selecting the best cruise for your family.

When are payments due for my cruise?
- Each cruise line has their own set of policies. Additionally, special bargain fares, special sales promotions, and holiday time cruises can all affect the time line for deposits and final payments. Typically interim payments are not required, however many people make them in order to budget for the cruise over a longer time period. (We can set you up on a payment plan when you book to ensure when final payments come due, the cruise is paid in full.)
