Too Good Not to Share
Those that read my blog on a regular basis know that our content is primarily world news, travel industry news, cruise reviews, and other articles of interest to our readers. We shy away from advertisements in the columns.
You also know that I'm an Independent Cruise & Vacation Specialist with Cruise Inc. This year Cruises Inc. and her sister company CruiseOne are celebrating special anniversaries (20 years for CruiseOne and 30 for Cruises Inc.) and our management wants to share some special offers with our loyal customers.
Today in the Travel Press:
BUY NOW, PAY LATER
In what it says is an unprecedented move, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. will front customers' cruise deposits for bookings made during the rest of February, and possibly beyond.
The "Advanced Deposit (Buy Now, Pay Later) Promotion" runs from Feb. 6 to 29, effectively enabling CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. franchises and agents to book clients with "no money down."
The customers will then pay back the deposit when they make their final cruise payment.
Dwain Wall, senior vice president and general manager of CruiseOne and
Cruises Inc., said the program is expected to increase bookings by removing an
"impediment to people making the decision to book."
Since most clients book an average of six months out and final payment is due
90 days out, said Luis Zuniga, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc.'s vice president of
marketing, the program is like giving customers "a three-month, interest-free
loan."
The deposit is capped at $500 per cabin, which Wall said was generally the most a cruise deposit would be. The promotion does not apply to group sales, usually eight cabins or more, or river cruises.
Holiday Bills to Pay? No Money for Cruise Deposit?
Why Miss Wave Season Deals?
Let Us Fund Your Initial Deposit
Just Pay us Back at Final Payment Time
Having to pay a deposit, along with considering the cost of airline tickets if necessary, can make it difficult to commit to a cruise this time of year. That means consumers miss out on the plethora of good Wave season incentives from the cruise lines. CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. have solved that problem for you.
