🏨 Pre-Cruise Hotel Stay (Night Before Embarkation)
Available until September 27, 2026

$0.00

Start your vacation a day early, relax, and beat the travel day rush!

We highly recommend arriving in the Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area the day before our cruise departs (January 24, 2027) to avoid any potential flight delays or travel stress.

Once I have an idea of how many people need a room the night before we sail I will negotiate a special rate for our group and send it to everyone who has selected this option. Alternatively, if you’d like a different option than our group rate I’m happy to set something up separately for you. 

How it works: If you are interested in staying near the port the night before we sail, simply select this option.

  • Convenient Amenities: I will prioritize hotels that offer complimentary breakfast and reliable shuttle services directly to the Norwegian Getaway terminal on embarkation morning.

  • Easy Booking: Once you choose your preferred hotel from the list, I can handle the reservation and add it directly to your cruise package.

  •  

(Note: If you are flying in and need airport-to-hotel transportation, please let me know and I can assist with adding those transfers to your reservation a well)

Trip Protection
Available until September 26, 2026

$0.00

Protect Your Vacation Investment 🛡️

We highly recommend adding Trip Protection to your booking to safeguard your cruise against unexpected emergencies, medical issues, or travel delays.

  • Cost: 10% of your total voyage fare

  • Payment Terms: The cost of your trip protection is due in full with your initial deposit.

Adding protection gives you peace of mind knowing that your hard-earned vacation is covered. If you would like to protect your trip, simply select this option, and we will calculate the exact amount (10% of your selected cabin package) and add it to your initial deposit invoice. 

🚢 Prepaid Gratuities (Service Charges)
Available until September 26, 2026

$80.00
Deposit: $80.00

Cross one more thing off your vacation to-do list by paying your gratuities in advance!

Onboard service charges (gratuities) are shared among the hardworking crew members—including your stateroom steward, complimentary restaurant dining staff, and behind-the-scenes culinary team—who work tirelessly to make your cruise wonderful.

  • Cost: $80.00 per person (covers the entire 4-night sailing).

  • How it works: While these service charges are typically added to your onboard account daily during the cruise, prepaying them now allows you to lock in the current rate and enjoy a truly "all-inclusive" feeling. You won't have to worry about a surprise bill at the end of your trip!

(Note: Prepaying gratuities is highly recommended so you can simply step onboard, relax, and focus entirely on your Mahjong games and vacation!)
