VII. Cruise Pricing and Payment Terms
Each of our cruise brands establishes pricing for the upcoming seasons which are made available primarily through the internet, although published materials and electronic communications are also used. Prices vary depending on a number of factors, including the source market, category of guest accommodation, ship, season, duration and itinerary. We offer a variety of special promotions, including early booking, past guest recognition and travel agent programs.
Our bookings are generally taken several months in advance of the cruise departure date. Typically, the longer the cruise itinerary, the further in advance the bookings are made. This lead time allows us to manage our prices in relation to guest demand and the number of available cabins through our revenue management capabilities and other initiatives.
The cruise ticket price typically includes the following:
Accommodations
Most meals, including snacks at numerous venues
Access to amenities such as swimming pools, water slides, water parks, whirlpools, a health club, and sun decks
Childcare and supervised youth programs
Entertainment, such as theatrical and comedy shows, live music and nightclubs
Visits to multiple destinations
We offer value added packages to induce ticket sales to guests and groups and to encourage the advance purchase of certain onboard items. These packages are bundled with cruise tickets and sold to guests for a single price rather than as a separate package and may include one or more of the following:
| • Beverage packages | • Internet packages |
|---|---|
| • Shore excursions | • Photo packages |
| • Air packages | • Onboard spending credits |
| • Specialty restaurants | • Service charges |
Our brands’ payment terms generally require that a guest pay a deposit to confirm their reservation and then pay the balance due before the departure date.
