How do I get an accurate cruise quote?
Give the advisor your travel dates or a date range, departure port, number of travelers and their ages, cabin type (inside, oceanview, balcony or suite) and budget. An accurate cruise quote should show the cruise fare, taxes and port fees, gratuities, and any deposit and final-payment dates, so you can compare the real total.
What information do I need for a cruise quote?
Dates or a date range, departure port, who is traveling with ages, cabin type, cruise line preferences and a budget.
Are taxes and port fees included in a cruise price?
Advertised fares often exclude taxes, fees and port expenses. Ask for the total with these listed.
Are gratuities included?
Many cruise lines add daily gratuities per guest unless they are prepaid or part of a package. Ask how your quote handles them.
How much is the deposit?
Deposits and final-payment dates vary by cruise line, sailing and fare type. Your quote should list both.
Does a free quote cost anything?
No. Requesting a quote on this site is free and does not commit you to book.
How do I compare two cruise quotes?
Compare the same cabin category, sailing date, included extras and cancellation terms, not just the headline fare.
