FAQ's
Do we have to have cabins booked before requesting a Cruise?
  • No, but once we approve a sailing you will be required to make a deposit on the cabin(s) you requested.
How do we get more people to request the same sailing?
  • Share with other special needs families
  • Reach out to your friends and family (the cabins do not need to have a guest with special needs in them)
  • Post your cruise choice on our Community FaceBook Page for others to join you.
How many Guests with Special Needs are Required?  
  • You can have as few as just one special needs guest among all of the cabins required to satisfy the minimum number of cabins required (so, for example, if you request the minimum 4 cabins, only one special needs guest needs to be in any one of the cabins).  So feel free to invite extended family and friends.
Does each cabin have to have a Guest with Special Needs?
  • Minimum number of cabins CAN BE booked by extended family and friends, and do not need to include a guest with special needs.
Is there a limit to how many cruises I can Request?
  • YES.  Each guest/family may only have 3 cruise requests open at any given time.  A 4th request will not be honored.  You may cancel a request any time, see list above to cancel.
  • Only 1 cruise per guest in any given 3 month period is permitted.
How long will a Request stay open?
  • Requests that do not attain the minimum number of cabins will be closed approx 3 months prior to sail date or Final Payment date of the cruise line which ever occurs first.  Requests will also be closed if/when all cabin requests are canceled by Guests,
Is there a minimum or maximum number of nights the cruise can be?
  • Yes, cruises must be at least 4 nights, and a maximum of 9 nights

Where can I review Cruise Line Schedules?
