Information for Placing Your Booking
It will help you to have all the information for placing your booking to hand before you go online, or make a call to the travel operator.
So here is a checklist that will help you have everything you need ready.
Remember to ensure that everyone in your party is involved before you make your decisions as changes are often expensive.
To this end there is a great discussion document available on this site called Before You Book Your Cruise which you will find helpful to share with everyone.
What you will find on here is a checklist which will be just right as you are ready to actually place your booking.
If you like use this as a reminder of all the things you are going to need to take with you on your vacation.
Leave plently of time for booking. If an online booking, as most people do these days, it might be helpful if you have someone alongside you to check your entries.
Usually at the end of the transaction, before you are committed to make a payment, you will have a summary document to review. Maybe you could print that off and get someone to double-check.
You can usually have a few moments to run through it all before the booking session lapses. Even if you have made an error, if you get on to the travel organisation without delay, you will usually find they are as helpful as they can be and you will avoid any extra costs.
On such occasions, time really is of the essence!
