Why utilize the services of a cruise travel agent?
Consulting a cruise travel agent when booking a cruise is beneficial as they are able to advise you on the nuances of the purchase and how to make choices based on your desired holiday experience.
Deciding to go on a cruise is much more than just booking a flight and reserving a hotel room; the vessel you select will determine what food and nightlife options are available throughout your holiday.
Your decision of route determines the places you will go and what sight seeing or attractions you will be able to do. If it is your first time taking a cruise, it can be daunting to analyze all the possibilities by yourself.
Basic Cruise Fares: What Is included, What Is Not
The cost of cruising may be difficult to estimate and analyze. A fare might be presented on the web without taking into consideration port fees, revenues, and other expenses, which are usually only seen after providing your personal information.
Beware of flashy television or online advertisements which show only the (BASIC) "cruise price" as that is not the full price you are going to pay to get on the ship. The cruise industry is notorious for this "sales tactic".
Before you purchase your cruise, please be aware that the basic cruise fare usually only includes basic food and beverage plus shows plus your cabin. To complete your cruise vacation booking, you wiil need to add port and regular taxes, gratuities, airfare, transfers from airport to/from port to airport. An exception to this general rule is the "Adults Only" Virgin Cruises which includes port and regular taxes plus WIFI into their standard cruise fare.
Consider Booking Airfare Through The Cruise Line
The least expensive base fare often does not always provide the highest return or premier set of vacation experiences. To lower overall costs, some cruise lines offer discounted airfares that can save you 10-25% on airfare to specific destinations (such as Alaska or Europe) that you would purchase from outside suppliers. Airfare in peak season can be quite expensive so it is best to book as far ahead as possible, 11 months ahead.
Many of Seven Seas Travel's clients have been able to use cruise line's air program several times and have personally had really good experiences! Occasionally, the cruise line will offer buy-one-get-one-free (BOGO) airfare. This could save you a great deal on flights, as the second guest gets free airfare!
Cruise Lines that Provide "The Extras" via Packaged/Bundled Deals
1. Princess Cruise Lines offers Princess Premier service and Princess Plus service which covers drinks, gratuities, WI-FI, and photos which most cruise companies charge extra for.

Seven Things to Know/TIPS About CRUISE INSURANCE:
If taking a cruise is in your travel plans, the cruise travel experts at Seven Seas Travel advise purchasing cruise insurance as well. While many cruises go off without a hitch, cruise insurance can help to provide coverage for unexpected cancellations, trip interruptions, travel delays, medical expenses, and more.
1. Generally speaking, you can purchase cruise insurance from three main sources which include: 1) the cruise company 2) Travel Guard or AIG or 3) Allianz. Some other cruise insurance companies include World Nomads, Travelex, and Trawick.
Cruise purchasers should be aware that MANY cruise companies sell cruise insurance policies which may not provide a cash refund if the policy is utilized. Instead cruise vouchers for a future cruise insurance policies are provided. Instead, many cruise companies sell a "Pre-Departure Waiver" Plan. The “pre-departure waiver / protection” plan is mostly a promise to pay on the part of the cruise line, tour operator or travel supplier for the trip cancellation and trip interruption benefits. These plans can include elements of insurance to pay claims for trip delays, accident and sickness medical benefits, evacuation and/or baggage protection.
2. Many cruise policies have a complex list of "COVERED EVENTS" which may or may not apply to the customer's circumstances. If you are interested in the optional Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage, you must purchase insurance within 21 days of making your initial trip deposit. Miss that 21-day window? You can buy travel insurance without the CFAR benefit up until the day before you leave for coverage while you travel. With CFAR coverage, you can cancel for any reason up until 48 hours before your trip. You will receive up to 75% of your trip cost back. The other 25% acts as a deductible.
If I book a cruise with a non-refundable deposit and I purchase CFAR insurance, will the deposit be covered by the insurance? Quick answer: Read the fine print. Long answer: As long as you start the insurance within any required time after the first payment (refundable or not), the non refundable deposit is covered by CFAR insurance in the vast majority of cases.
3. Purchase cruise insurance as soon as you book your cruise.
Cruise-goers should purchase travel insurance as soon as the first NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENT toward the cruise is made to help ensure there is coverage if something happens before you have the chance to set sail.
4. Know what the insurance plan covers (and doesn’t).
What is covered or not covered depends on the plan you purchase. A comprehensive cruise insurance plan covers any expenses incurred due to adverse weather, mechanical breakdown, or illness. You should be aware that if you cancel your cruise due to fear of travel or if the cruise line cancels the sailing, you are only covered if you have Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) added to your plan.
5. Get an insurance plan with Missed Connection Coverage (MCC) and Trip Delay Benefits
If your flight is delayed for three or more hours due to inclement weather and you literally miss the boat, MCC can help save the day and your investment. Reputable cruise plans provide coverage for those additional expenses, including transportation, reasonable accommodations, and meal expenses. MCC can reimburse you for non-refundable payments made on the unused portion of the cruise.
Trip Delay provides benefits for additional expenses should there be a common carrier delay or if you become quarantined. It is part of most plans, but you may want to opt for a higher Trip Delay Max limit, $4,000 or $7,000. It adds a nominal amount to the overall plan cost and allows for a higher reimbursement of expenses per person, per day.
6. Insure all prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses.
Many travelers don’t realize that all prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses can be insured. Cruise transfers, transportation to and from the airport, accommodations, airfare, cruise fare, and excursions are all examples of insurable travel expenses. If you paid for it ahead of time and it is non-refundable, you can and should insure it to ensure those amounts are protected in the event of a trip cancellation. Additionally, some coverages such as Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) or the pre-ex waiver, may require that the full trip cost be insured.
7. Cruise insurance costs depend on age, trip cost, and trip duration.
Cruise travel insurance cost is a percentage of your overall trip cost and considers factors such as the ages of those traveling, total cost of the trip, and duration of travel. Additionally, any upgraded or added benefits will of course add to the cost of the plan.
Cruise Deposits (Two Types)
When booking a cruise, it is not necessary to pay for the entire journey in advance. A deposit is usually sufficient. A cruise travel agent can guarantee that you make all required payments on time. Deposits can be paid up to 18 months in advance in most cases and can be as small at $50-$100/person.
Generally speaking, there are two types of deposits which include refundable cruise deposits and non refundable cruise deposits. The refundable cruise deposit usually adds a material cost to the overall price of the cruise. To avoid this extra cost, it does make sense in some cases to purchase a non refundable cruise deposit and then add a "Cancel for Any Reason" cruise insurance policy from a travel insurance provider.
(Free) Onboard credits (OBCs) and your Shipboard Charge Card/Account
You can use your free onboard credit to make purchases on your cruise ship. It's a cash credit to your shipboard account, and the amount of the onboard credit will be subtracted from the total value of the items you bought while on board. Please keep in mind that since late 2022 most cruise companies have greatly reduced the issuance of large OBCs to bring back clients. What was once an automatic $500 OBC for a given sailing is now $100 or less.
If you've never taken a cruise, be aware that it's a cashless culture. On the day of embarkation, the cruise line starts a charge account for each passenger and most . The Onboard Expense Account is the cashless system used for all onboard purchases and services. Depending on your ship, cards are handed out at the pier or will be in your stateroom waiting for you. The account can be set-up with either a credit card, debit card or as a cash account during check-in or at the pier.
Almost everything you require that isn't covered by your cruise fee or that wasn't paid for in advance is paid for using your onboard account. This covers retail purchases, beverages at bars, spa and salon services, exercise programs, and shore excursions. Your shipboard credit card can be used to open your cabin door along with your cruise key card. Give it to the salesman or bartender so they can charge a purchase to your onboard account.
You can also add guests from your stateroom or another stateroom as authorized purchasers on your account. For each purchase made onboard the ship you will receive a receipt. A preliminary statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the day prior to the final morning of your cruise vacation for your review. A final statement will be e-mailed to you shortly after departing the ship on the last day of your cruise.
Downloading the Cruise Line's APP
One of the very first things Seven Seas Travel recommends doing when planning a cruise vacation is downloading the cruise line app, as this is where guests can research their ship, check their itinerary, book shore excursions, purchase a Wi-Fi or drink package, and, when the time comes, check-in for their cruise. Seven Seas Travel recommends that one of the first things things guest should utilize the APP for is to book shore excursions as soon as possible as shore excursions often sell out or go up in price upon boarding the ship.
Additionally, the cruise line app is where guests can see all of the venues and amenities onboard their ship, where they can check the digital version of the daily cruise event schedule, and where they can check any onboard charges.

Family-Friendly Cruises

When considering a family cruise, the ship's accommodation plays a significant role in ensuring proper comfort and relaxation for all onboard.

Connecting rooms are also an ideal option for larger families as they provide extra space while still remaining connected.

However, some people may argue that taking children onboard a cruise ship might not be safe or appropriate due to various reasons such as motion sickness and exposure to mature content.
While this may hold some truth, it is vital to note that cruise lines take great care when it comes to ensuring the safety of passengers on board. In addition, many ships have designated age-appropriate areas where children can partake in activities suitable for their age group.
Booking a family-friendly cruise is similar to investing in a memory bank that will last forever. Families get to bond by sharing exciting experiences together without worrying about logistics such as meals or accommodation during their trip.
In conclusion, family-friendly cruises are perfect for creating unforgettable memories with loved ones while meeting new people from all over the world. Although there might be valid concerns regarding cruising with children, it is essential to note that cruise lines have an excellent track record when it comes to ensuring the safety and welfare of all their passengers.
