Cruise Booking Terms
Last updated: January 2026 • Policies governing cruise holds and reservations
1. Reservation Process & Courtesy Holds
When placing a cruise reservation through CruiseLineTrip or by calling (866) 666-6068, you may be offered a 24-hour complimentary courtesy hold depending on sailing proximity. A courtesy hold temporarily locks the stateroom category and fare without immediate payment. To convert a hold into a confirmed booking, the required cruise deposit must be submitted before hold expiration.
2. Deposits & Final Payment Deadlines
Deposit amounts vary by cruise line, stateroom category, and sailing duration. Final payment is typically due between 75 and 120 days prior to departure. Failure to meet final payment deadlines set by the operating cruise line may result in automatic reservation cancellation and forfeiture of deposit.
3. Stateroom Assignments & Guarantee Cabins
Bookings made under a "Guarantee" (GTY) rate ensure a stateroom in the purchased category (or higher), but specific cabin numbers and deck locations are assigned by the cruise line at a later date prior to embarkation.
