We help you choose a sailing, book your cabin, and manage it afterward. The cruise line operates your voyage under its own terms; we provide independent booking assistance.
Cruise fares bundle a lot together — cabin category, dining, port fees, and deposit schedules — and the cancellation rules tighten as you approach sailing. We help you understand all of it before you book, and we manage changes and cancellations afterward.
We are an independent assistance service and do not own or operate any ship. Your voyage is provided by the cruise line under its passenger ticket contract; our role is to help you arrange and service the reservation.
Our assistance fee is always separate from the cruise fare and disclosed before payment. You approve the full cost — fare, taxes and port fees, and our fee — before anything is charged.
Call us and a U.S.-based assistant will walk through options, provider prices, and our service fee before anything is booked.

Want a different sailing date or cabin? We check availability and the line’s change terms and confirm any difference before proceeding.
Cruise cancellation penalties depend on how far out you cancel. We explain the line’s schedule and submit your request, pursuing any refund or future-cruise credit you’re owed.
Where the line offers paid upgrades or upgrade bids, we check options so you can move up a category if it’s worth it to you.
Cruises often book with a deposit and a later balance due. We lay out the schedule clearly so you know what’s due and when.
Dining packages, beverage plans, and shore excursions offered by the line — we help you add them to your booking where available.

To change a cruise booking, call us with your reservation details. We’ll review the line’s terms for your fare, check availability for your new date or cabin, and confirm any fare difference and change penalty before applying anything. Penalties generally increase as the sailing date approaches.
Cruise cancellation refunds follow the line’s penalty schedule, which is tied to how many days before sailing you cancel. We explain exactly where you stand, submit the cancellation, and pursue any refund or future-cruise credit available. Our assistance fees are separate, per our Refund Policy.
If the cruise line offers a paid upgrade or runs an upgrade-bid program for your sailing, we’ll check availability and cost. Upgrades are awarded by the line; we help you find and request them but cannot guarantee a specific cabin.
