Question 2

Can my parents also get these interline rates?

Eligibility for parents varies by cruise line and specific offer. Some lines do extend these incredible rates to parents of active or retired airline employees. Todd can help you navigate these options and find the best deals for your family.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you're a full-time ground crew or operations staff member with JETBLUE, you are often eligible for fantastic interline cruise deals. We just need to check your current employment status.

Question 5

Can my spouse travel without me on an interline rate?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, the airline employee must be traveling on the interline booking. There are very limited exceptions, typically by specific cruise lines for certain offers. We can always check the policy for your desired cruise.

Question 6

What documentation do I need to prove eligibility?

Accepted Answer

Cruise lines typically require proof of active or retired employment, such as an employee ID badge, a letter from HR, or a pay stub. Todd will guide you through the exact requirements for your chosen cruise line and sailing.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Interline eligibility typically applies per eligible employee and their direct traveling party sharing a cabin. Booking multiple cabins often requires the additional cabins to be booked at prevailing public rates, though Todd can always explore linked bookings to try and keep you together.

Question 8

Are there blackout dates for interline cruises?

Accepted Answer

Yes, popular holiday periods, peak season sailings, and brand-new ship inaugurals often have limited or no interline availability. However, there are always fantastic deals to be found outside these periods, and Todd knows how to find them!

Question 9

Are last-minute interline deals common?

Accepted Answer

Last-minute availability for interline rates can sometimes appear, especially for less popular sailings. Flexibility is key for these opportunities. Staying in touch with Todd about your availability is the best way to catch these potential savings.

Question 10

How do interline rates work with my variable airline schedule?

Accepted Answer

We understand your schedule can change. While interline rates require commitment, some cruise lines offer more flexible cancellation policies. We recommend selecting sailings slightly outside your expected work windows and discussing travel insurance options with Todd.

Question 11

Are interline rates available on luxury or premium cruise lines?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Interline rates extend to many premium and even some luxury cruise lines, offering incredible value on upscale experiences. These rates can make a dream voyage much more accessible. Just let Todd know your preferences!

Question 12

Can I bring my whole family on an interline cruise?

Accepted Answer

Yes, interline rates typically cover the eligible employee and immediate family members (spouse/domestic partner and dependent children) sharing the same cabin. Each cruise line has specific definitions, which Todd can clarify.

Question 13

I've never cruised before. Is an interline cruise a good option?

Accepted Answer

It's an excellent option! Interline rates make cruising incredibly affordable, allowing you to try out different lines or itineraries. Todd can help first-time cruisers pick the perfect introductory voyage to ensure a fantastic experience.

Question 14

Do I need to depart from my hub city for interline rates?

Accepted Answer

No, your eligibility for interline rates is tied to your employment, not your departure port. While departing from your hub like JFK might be convenient, you can book interline cruises departing from any port worldwide. We help you find the best deal from anywhere!

Question 15

Does interline include airfare?

Accepted Answer

Interline cruise rates apply specifically to the cruise fare itself. As an airline employee, you may have access to your own company's flight benefits to get to your departure port, which pairs perfectly with our cruise deals. KTE Interliner focuses solely on securing the best cruise rate for you.
