Can I get more money off the cruise?

This is a question we as Travel Agents are asked on a regular basis, and to be honest there is only a certain amount of discount available.

However, there are a couple of ways you can maximise your return on future cruises.




You should be aware of the benefits of booking on board; you may get a reduced price, a lower deposit and/or additional on board credit. Once done you can transfer to your travel agent usually within a 7 day period, allowing you to keep the beneficial on board terms and then gain from the discounts on offer.


But what else can you do?

Well, with Carnival Corporation ( Cunard, P&O, Princess et al) and also Royal Caribbean Cruises, if you are a shareholder you can add further on board credit to you booking.

Now I am not offering any investment advice at all here, but each offer benefits if you hold a minimum of 100 shares, the benefits are in addition to any on top of any dividends paid.

In both cases the links below go to the current (12/09) benefits page on their websites:-

Royal Caribbean

Don't forget share values and benefits can go up and down, and this is not advising you to make the investment.
