From deposit to luggage tags — how your booking moves through our office.

How your booking is processed

Once you’ve made your initial deposit, you’ll get a confirmation from us, usually by email. Your cruise line reservation number can be found on the confirmation sent to you. You can use that number to access your reservation on the cruise line’s own site — for shore excursions, onboard dining, entertainment, the lot.

When your balance is due, we’ll send a reminder and process your credit card the same way we did the deposit. You can ask us to use the same card or a different one — we won’t run the balance until you say go.

After you’ve paid in full, the cruise line typically issues electronic documents. Once they do, we send you a copy of your itinerary, your luggage tags, and anything else you’ll need — usually three to four weeks before departure.

If you have questions at any point, or need anything else, ring us. That’s what we’re here for.
