Crystal Cruise Lines Offers Easier Deposits, Cancellations

Crystal Cruises is introducing a collection of incentives to support its commitment to its guests’ satisfaction. In combination with its existing price guarantee, the line is reducing cruise fare deposits and cancellation periods. “Crystal is pairing its consistent delivery of incomparable vacation experiences with a program that showcases just how secure an investment the Crystal Experience is,” said Bill Smith, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Luxury cruisers recognize the value of selecting a line whose performance is tried-and-true, to ensure they’re getting the best from the best.” The company is now offering a price guarantee that gives guests the best applicable fare offered by Crystal Cruises even after they’ve booked. Cruise deposits have been reduced from 10 percent to 5 percent for all 2009 itineraries except the full World Cruise. Deposits for the 2010 World Cruise have been reduced from 20 percent to $1,000 or $1,500, depending on stateroom selected. And deposits are now required within seven days, up from three days. Guests can now cancel their cruise up to 45 days prior to sailing without penalty instead of 75 days. For More Information, contact Crystal Cruise Values.
