Let's start with you

Contact details, plus anything about your cruise history that might unlock a better rate.

I'll send your pricing options here.
Some lines publish resident-only rates.

Your cruise history

Past-guest status often unlocks member rates, onboard credit, or priority boarding. Worth a minute to dig up.

What sailing are we talking about?

Whether you've already found the exact ship or have no idea where to start β€” both are fine.

How firm is this?

Not a dealbreaker. Several lines let an existing booking transfer to an advisor within a short window after deposit β€” but the clock matters, so tell me the date.

Where & when

Pick as many as you'd consider β€” more options means more chances at a great price.
School calendars and holiday weeks price very differently from the shoulder weeks on either side. If you have any room, say so.

Getting to the port

So I can check award availability to the port.

Who's going?

Cruise pricing is per person and cabin occupancy rules are strict, so this section drives most of the quote.

Travelers & cabins

Ages decide kids' club eligibility, whether an infant is even allowed to sail, and how the third and fourth berths price.
Optional, but connecting and adjoining cabins are limited and go early. Group bookings can also unlock extra amenities.

The occasion & the details

Lines and advisors can often attach a small celebration amenity β€” worth mentioning.
Not a dealbreaker β€” some closed-loop sailings from a U.S. port accept a birth certificate. But it narrows the itineraries, and renewals take time, so I need to know now rather than in month four.
Accessible cabins are a tiny fraction of the ship and sell out first. Tell me early and I'll hold one.

What kind of trip is this?

Royal Caribbean and Viking are not the same vacation. This is how I pick the right ship for you instead of the cheapest one.

Your cabin

Deck plans hide a lot. Midship and low decks feel the least motion; the cabin under the pool deck or above the theater will find you at 6am.

The ship & the itinerary

What should I price alongside the fare?

Some of these are far cheaper pre-booked than onboard, and a few get bundled into promotions I can watch for.
Honestly the most useful box on this form. Tell me the hard nos.

Budget, flights & points

A range is plenty. I'd rather show you three honest options inside your number than one that isn't.

Budget & timing

Cruise fares are quoted per person, double occupancy, before taxes, port fees and gratuities. I'll always show you the all-in number.
Casino and past-guest offers sometimes beat anything I can book β€” I'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. If you have a competing quote, send it and I'll try to beat it or tell you to take it.

Flights & points

Quick reminder on why I ask: points redeem at roughly 0.5–1.5Β’ against a cruise fare, versus about 2Β’ transferred to an airline. Pay cash for the ship, spend the points on getting there.

Rough balances are fine β€” leave blank anything you don't have.

Last thing

Request received!

I'll go price this across the lines that fit and get back to you within 24–48 hours. No fee, no deposit, no obligation at this stage.

What happens next

  • I compare sailings, cabin categories and current promotions across the lines that match what you described
  • You get 2–3 options with all-in pricing and whatever advisor amenity each one qualifies for β€” onboard credit, dining, or an upgrade
  • You pick one and I book it directly with the cruise line β€” your deposit goes to them, never to me
  • I watch the fare until final payment and chase any price drop or upgrade for you
  • Then we do the fun part β€” award flights to the port with the points you didn't burn on the fare
