Question 7

Can I book multiple cabins at interline rates for my family?

Accepted Answer

Interline rates are typically tied to the eligible employee's immediate traveling party. While you can often book one or two cabins at the interline rate for yourself and direct family, booking multiple cabins for extended family or friends at interline rates is usually not permitted.

Question 8

Are there blackout dates for interline rates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, just like with airline employee travel, interline cruise rates often have blackout dates, especially during peak seasons like holidays, summer, and spring break. Availability is also based on specific cruise line allocations. Flexibility with your travel dates can open up more options.

Question 9

Are last-minute interline deals common?

Accepted Answer

Last-minute deals can definitely pop up, especially if a cruise line needs to fill cabins. However, relying solely on last-minute availability can be risky, especially for popular itineraries or cabin types. Booking a few months out often provides a good balance of choice and great rates.

Question 12

Can my entire family (children, grandchildren) benefit from these rates?

Accepted Answer

Interline eligibility generally extends to the employee, spouse/partner, and dependent children living in the household. Grandchildren's eligibility can vary greatly by cruise line and often depends on them being a direct dependent or traveling in the same cabin as their eligible grandparent.

I've never cruised before. Is an interline rate a good way to start?

How late can I book an interline cruise?

Accepted Answer

While some last-minute options for interline rates may appear, especially during off-peak seasons, it's generally recommended to book as far in advance as possible, often 3-6 months out. This increases your chances of securing preferred cabins and itineraries, as interline allocations are limited and can sell out.
