Practical notes

Check before combining offers

The FAQ says you must choose between this credit and another offer. The main terms leave it to each cruise line to decide which offers can be combined. Ask before you count on both.

You can claim on another cruise

Apply for each eligible booking. A previous approval does not arrange credit for your next trip.

Joint holdings and solo travel

For joint holdings used to claim for separate cabins, you need at least 100 shares per cabin. Solo guests paying 200% of the fare get the full credit.

Use the credit before you leave

Unused credit is lost and cannot be exchanged for cash.

The offer can change

The cruise lines can change or withdraw the offer without notice. Check the terms before each claim.

The terms give a reservation cutoff but do not say when the programme began or when the credit amounts were set.

    The offer applies to reservations made on or after this date. The terms do not say what changed then.
