Cruise gift 🎁

How do I give a gift of a cruise?

Should I contact my TA or go directly to the cruise line?

Thanks RU crazy,

While I’m trying to spend our kids inheritance,  losing a year of cruising saved us money. A granddaughter has just married, a grandson has graduated, cruising to the Caribbean is on sale! 
Yea!

You could buy them a gift card.

I second the gift card option

Ann you could just email me directly lol !  Free cruise gift is so generous of you. (Just teasing people)

 

Be aware that if you get them a gift card, if the cruise were to be cancelled, their monies would be returned to another gift card.   Also, just recently they had a promotion, which has since expired, that for every $1000 giftcard you would be gifted a BONUS $100 giftcard.   I personally think that promotion will come back...... but who knows.

 

Have an awesome weekend!

I'd also agree with gift card but maybe as a hybrid gift. If you like the current pricing or sale on a particular cruise or maybe one you want to join them on, you could purchase a deposit on a cruise and gift card the remaining balance in case their plans don't fit your suggested cruise.

Is it supposed to be a surprise gift?  I gifted a cruise to my SIL last year but I found the cruise and booked it through my TA.  I picked out the stateroom and I had to make sure that her and her daughter's passports were in order.  Another wrinkle was making sure my niece could take that time off from work.  I also found that booking their cruise on one I was booked on worked very well for all of us.

Is your gift going to cost the recipients anything or are you paying for passports, medical insurance, evacuation insurance, airfare, and hotel service charge, too?
