We're notified that all registrants who have already paid their deposits are requested to send in the balance of their fare by March 14.
March 21 is the "drop date" which means that after that date, the cruise line is removing the "hold" from all cabins in our reserved group block that are not paid for. This is standard policy for all cruise lines.
It takes a week for the cruise line to authenticate and process personal checks and credit card payments.
Therefore, if you're sending a balance payment check by US post office, MAIL IT NOW so it is received by March 14.
Or, if you are paying the balance by credit card, phone Wanda ON OR BEFORE March 14.
The mailing address (mail NOW) is:
Carefree Vacations
1011 Camino Del Rio South
Suite 100
San Diego, CA 92108
Attn: Wanda
For credit card payments, phone Wanda at toll-free 1-800-890-7583 (ON OR BEFORE MARCH 14).
This is important. We are not the only group or individuals booking on this ship. The cruise line will not hold cabins indefinitely that are not completely paid for by the "drop date". The ship will fill up rapidly. The "drop date" of March 21 means we cannot guarantee the availibility of a cabin after that date.
Bear in mind, if you're still undecided about registering, you can, in theory, register up to a couple days before embarkation, May 31. But in actuality, after March 21 the chances of obtaining a cabin diminish with every passing day. After that date, Wanda will continue to accept registrations, but only up to the point the ship is filled.
So, if you haven't already signed on, we urge you to get your registration in now and the cabin of your choice will be nailed down.
AGAIN, we request all current registrants to mail or phone in your fare balances so Wanda receives them in California by March 14.
If you have any questions, post them here.
Thanks,
