PAYMENT INFORMATION
Please read the "Before you commit to this cruise page.)
Hello Potential Cruiser,
We had such a great time during our POC Sails the Seas 2006'
cruise to Nassau that we voted on making a cruise our National event
bi-annually. For cruise 2008' we've secured some great rates just
for you. Imagine a 5 day and night cruise for a little over
$100.00 per day. That's right, our rates beat our 3 day cruise rates.
We've blocked interior and ocean view cabins for our group. After
they're gone, our group rates will be as well. Of course you'll be able
to book on your own and join us but we encourage you to get on
board with us now.
Here's a huge PERK for ALL of us.....
EVERY cabin we book will receive a $100.00, on board,
ship credit per cabin (not per person). That's $50.00 a piece
for you and your cabin-mate that will be applied to your
Sign and Sail account. You can use this bonus any way you
choose. Use your $50.00 for drinks, towards a spa treatment,
bingo, the casino, shopping on board, etc. Don't sleep on this folks.

OTHER EXPENSES to CONSIDER:
*Your Sail and Sign Account: "Sail & Sign is Carnival's cashless
on board credit program which allows guests to charge purchases
directly to a personal account for convenience throughout the cruise."
While on board you will use no cash. Every transaction is charged
to your Sail and Sign account. For this cruise the minimum
deposit is $200.00. You may use a credit card, a "bank" debit
card with a visa or master card logo on it or you may put
$200.00 in cash down. If you use a debit card Carnival will hold
that amount on your card. The funds unused will be released at the
end of the cruise (keep in mind, your bank may take a few business
days to actually release your funds). If you use cash and have an
unused portion, YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED IN CASH.
YOU WILL INSTEAD RECEIVE A CHECK FOR YOUR
REFUND. For more Sail and Sign info go to: http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/Sail_And_Sign_On_Board_Account.aspx.
Note: Your Sail & Sign Card will serve as your identification
card when you re-board the ship in a port of call.
Remember to take it with you whenever you go ashore.
You will be required to show it to a Carnival security
officer in order to re-board the ship.
Pre-Paid Gratuities: This expense has already been
included in the cost of your cruise. $50.00 for this cruise.
That's $10.00 per day in tips for the entire cruise staff with the
exception of the tipping the Maitre D'. Tipping the Maitre D is
strictly at the guest's discretion, based upon services rendered.
For guests who wish to extend this gratuity in cash, an envelope
will be available on the last evening of the cruise. For an explanation,
go to:
These are the insurance rates for those that are 17 years old and
older. For guest that are 16 and under it's $39.00.
We strongly suggest that everyone purchase this insurance. This
way if for some reason you must opt out you can get at least some
of your funds back, if not all your funds. Cruise insurance covers
more then just the chance of your opting out. You'd make this
payment through Carnival. For information on this cruise insurance,
go to: http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/FAQLanding.aspx and
look for Carnival's Vacation Protection Plan.
PLEASE READ ALL THE DETAILS or ask the agent to explain it
to you.
You have up until April 21, 2008 to purchase the Vacation
Protection Plan.
Shore Excursions: Any shore excursion you decide to take
will be on you. Remember, you don't have to take any. There's
lots to do on the ship at all times or you can just de-board the
ship and walk around.
Drinks: The only free drinks on the cruise are: fruit punch,
lemonade, iced tea, juices, coffee and hot tea. For soft drinks,
bottled water or alcohol there is a fee. You can purchase a
Carnival Fountain card. Ask the Carnival Agent for the cost.
For info: http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/Fountain_Fun_Card.aspx
ALL PAYMENTS will go directly through Carnival. As of
