What is Pre-Registration/Pre-Booking & How Does It Work?
Pre-registration/Pre-booking is an early sign-up phase that allows you to submit your booking preferences before sales officially open to the general public. During this phase, our team will collect your preferred cruise itinerary, cabin choice, loyalty details, passenger information, and a payment pre-authorisation.
How Your Booking Is Processed
-
Launch Day Processing: Starting at 08:30 AM on the official launch day, we will begin processing all pre-registered requests.
-
Processing Updates: Please note that a pre-registration/pre-booking is not a confirmed booking until it is processed on launch day. If any issues arise during processing, our team will reach out to you directly by midday.
If you haven't received your confirmation by midday, it simply means our team is still actively working through documentation.
- Fulfillment & Confirmation: As soon as your pre-registration/pre-booking is processed on launch morning, you will receive your full booking confirmation letter detailing your secured itinerary and cabin details.
What Are the Benefits of Pre-Registering/Pre-Booking?
- Priority Stateroom Access (Best Choice): High-demand cabins—such as midship balconies and aft suites—often sell out within 30 minutes of going live to the public. Pre-registering/Pre-booking gives you the best chance of securing your preferred cabin grade and deck location.
- Early Access Rates & Exclusive Perks (Best Value): Launch day offers the lowest inaugural rates. Pre-registering/Pre-booking locks in early-bird pricing, past-guest loyalty discounts, and reduced deposits.
- Stress-Free Booking (Peace of Mind): Public launch mornings can come with website slowdowns, long telephone hold times, and rapidly changing inventory. By pre-registration/pre-booking, you can sit back and relax while our team handles all technical execution in the background.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my pre-registration/pre-booking guaranteed immediately?
No, not immediately. Your booking becomes officially confirmed once our team processes your pre-authorisation on launch day.
What should I do if I haven't received my confirmation on launch day?
Our team works through pre-registration’s/pre-booking’s as quickly as possible on launch morning. If you have not received your confirmation email by midday, please rest assured that your booking is still being processed. Our team will contact you directly by midday if any clarification or further details are needed for your reservation.
