For the Philippine market, the most ideal option is via www.cruising.com.ph, managed by the official Royal Caribbean representatives in the country.
What’s great about booking on the official Philippine website is, you automatically get customer service and assistance in case you make a mistake, you wish to change something, or you want to extend payments. Most importantly, you have someone to call and assist you in case of emergency. Having easy access to customer support here in the Philippines is super valuable for two reasons:
The travel scene can still be unpredictable these days. Travel requirements and border policies change frequently and quickly. It’s nice to have someone you could turn to in case of urgent matters.
Booking and going on a cruise is a little bit complicated. Or at least, more complicated than the usual land tours. There are a lot of moving parts that you need to watch — flight schedules, cruise timings, travel requirements, check-in and boarding processes, activity and dining reservations, shore excursions, etc. Having someone to keep you updated can ensure you have a hassle-free journey.
If you book on the international website, you’re basically on your own (DIY) and should you need further assistance, you need to call their customer service in the United States (US). This happened to my aunt. She mistakenly booked a cabin on a deck and section of the ship that is different and so far away from her companions. She wanted to change rooms, but because she booked via the international website, she had to call the US number.
And if you use our promo code — WORTHIT — you’ll get an additional 5% DISCOUNT on the cruise fare! You can use this on top of any existing promos or discounts.
So it’s best to book at www.cruising.com.ph!
