cruise line web site to help you explore, research
and plan your own cruise vacation.... We guarantee

Your Cruise Travel Advisor can help you distill
cruise product information, clarify
the fine print, such as payments, cancellation
penalties and restrictions and for
the unfamiliar, make recommendations for
travel-related options such as cabins,
dinner seating and shore excursions. They
understand your need to take your time in deciding
on your vacation of-a-lifetime. They respect your
privacy.
E-mail is our primary method of communication.
Phone calls work too.
Price quotes are primarily responded to by e-mail,
usually the same day....
Your Advisor will discuss smoking or non-smoking
policies and dining options. They will also
discuss the itinerary, your accommodations, shore
excursions
and provide full, complete and on-going service to
you. You will be given
a Guest phone number to call if you have any
questions or need
assistance with your booking.
We are sorry, but we will not be able to respond
to e-mail requests that are
incomplete or lack sufficient contact information.
If we cannot reach you
by phone ( daytime or evenings ) to discuss your
cruise purchase or provide
you important follow-up information, we will be
unable to serve you.
If you call us, it is likely our staff may be busy
talking with guests and the
cruise lines regarding their vacation plans. Due
to the volume of requests
for price quotes we receive, our staff is unable
to give price quotes over the phone. E-mail is our
primary method of pre-booking communication. Our
system works best when guests send us their
questions and or their request for a
price quote via e-mail.
In many cases , based on their request, we refer
guests to
our online booking engine - OVS cruise.
OVS Cruise can show you what sailings are
available, and list prices based on
category of cabin. You can view detailed ship
information, cruise line
destinations, itineraries, and sailing dates. You
can also see deck plans, read cruise ship reviews
and see photos of the cabins and ship. OVS Cruise
works similar to looking for an airline
ticket or hotel accommodation at Expedia, Orbitz
or Travelocity.
You will find that chances are the answers to your
questions can be easily found using the OVS Cruise
Reservation System.
We are not your typical travel agent.
We offer good prices by strictly using the
Internet, and e-mail
to handle bookings. We try to keep our overhead
low. We do not have a
storefront location nor any "walk-in" traffic.
If you like saving money and don’t require having
to physically see,
touch, and speak with an agent in person, then we
may be right for you.
You may have questions with enough depth and
detail that are not covered
at our web site and your comfort zone requires
more personal contact. You
could best be served by your neighborhood travel
agent. Our web site and services are geared toward
guests who know exactly what they want, and are
comfortable communicating primarily via e-mail.
You should also be confident,
familiar and have some experience working with
internet travel companies
similar to Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity.
Cruising With Minors
In most cases guests under
the age of 21 must be accompanied by a
parent, relative or legal guardian 25 years or
older who is staying in
the same stateroom.
Purchasing A Cruise Online
To use the OVS Cruise
Reservations Service or Direct Connect features
you should be confident and familiar with making
large purchases on line.
Now you can book a cruise online with the OVS
Cruise Reservations Service
featuring Carnival, Princess, Holland America,
Disney, Crystal, Royal Caribbean,
Celebrity, or Norwegian Cruise Lines.
NOTE: Booking your cruise
online obligates you by requiring a deposit or
full payment to be paid to the cruise line at the
time of booking. Your
credit card will be charged immediately by the
cruise line. All payments are
subject to the cruise line's reservation, payment
and cancellation policy.
Learn About Discounts
