We strongly recommend allowing adequate time for transfer between airport and the cruise ship.

Please consider time required for airport security checks, and customs procedures for international flights.
The distance between airport and the cruise ship varies by port. You should plan on arriving at the ship no later than 2 hours before the ship's departure.

For return flights home, please make sure you DO NOT book your flight too early. After your ship arrives in port, it has to go through Customs and Immigration procedures before the ship is "cleared". This will take several hours. The bigger the ship, the longer it will take. Return flights should be scheduled no earlier than 6 1/2 to 7 hours after arrival. For Caribbean cruises the "rule of thumb" is that you schedule your flight arrival before the cruise no later than 1 pm, and your departure after the cruise no earlier than 2 pm.

Cruise line ground transfer service can be purchased separately, even if you make your own air arrangements. We recommend that you do use the cruise line's ground transfers for Alaska cruises and cruises from international ports.

Please note that if you make your own air arrangements, airline cancellation policies will apply from the time of purchase. These policies differ depending on the airline, and may include NON-REFUNDABLE fares.


Consider arriving a day early, and leaving a day late.
What could be better than an extra day on the beach before your Caribbean cruise?
We recommend a 2 night stay in Europe, so that you will have time to relax and explore.
It will also provide peace of mind in case of flight delays or cancelled flights.


Why do we
recommend that you include cruise line airfare when booking your cruise?
Cruise line air programs include flights to and from the ship, and provide added peace of mind in case of flight delays or missed connections. The cruise line's staff monitors flights for any delays or interruptions to coordinate your arrival at the ship. If flights are cancelled or no longer connect to the ship departure, the cruise line will alter air reservations. When returning from your cruise, flight arrangements will be rescheduled in case of any late disembarkation of the ship due to operational reasons.

When you arrive at your destination you will be greeted at the airport by a friendly cruise line representative, and transported from the airport to the cruise ship. Please note that for Princess Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America, and Windstar the transfer is a separate component. Other cruise lines include it in the airfare price.

Finally, please note that by including cruise line airfare you do not need to pay for your airfare up-front, as long as you are not within the final payment period. You can also cancel your cruise line airfare with no penalties as long as you do so outside of cruise line cancellation periods.
