Booking a Caribbean cruise online
If you are like me you will want to avoid crowds and wasting time in lines and spend your time enjoying your Caribbean cruise. No need to rush to the spa on embarkation day, only to guarantee you that hot-candle-wax treatment on the second sea day. Why wait in long lines to reserve a romantic dinner at onboard specialty restaurants?
Caribbean cruise lines have expanded greatly options for online reservations. Whether it’s pre-booking, restaurant reservations, shore excursions and/or spa treatments, cruisers can spend less time queuing up onboard and have more fun enjoying Caribbean cruise activities.
But first look at the “Price Guarantee” policy to make sure that if there is a price drop before you sail, you will be able to benefit from it. In addition this will allow you to book early and have access to a much wider choice of staterooms and availability on your desired departure date.
Royal Caribbean and Carnival offer this kind of guarantee. For example Royal Caribbean passengers who reserve early and later find a lower advertised price by Royal Caribbean for the same ship, sail date and cabin category can receive the full difference in price as an onboard credit to spend on cocktails, specialty dining, spa services and any other onboard purchases. Any money unspent onboard will be refunded at the end of the Caribbean cruise.
Once you have your booking confirmation number, you can log on to your Caribbean cruise line’s website and customize the rest of your cruise. Most of the time you will be able to make pre-reservations for a multitude of onboard activities.
But beware don’t lose spontaneity, pre-planning is ok, but if you overdo it you could be missing activities you did not know would or could be great. It is not always possible to pre-book all onboard activities. To be on the safe side always ask what is the cancellation policy for each activity in case you want to change activities without losing money.
For example shore excursions can be pre-booked online prior to sailing based on the Caribbean cruise line. You will also be able to pre-reserve spa treatments online as well as ordering special gifts and packages, reserving tables at specialty restaurants, filling out your passenger declaration form, booking hotels and airport parking and many other options.
In fact today you can pre-book almost everything from the cruise itself to almost all the activities. Frankly the choice is yours and will be based on the kind of person you are. My father for example has to plan everything in advance when he travels, this is the only way for him to feel in control, safe and secure. In my case, I am the opposite I like improvisation and prefer not to plan anything in advance. I will book my Caribbean cruise and let life surprise me.
