Reminder - Crystal Assurance Plan
|
|
As a savvy travel agent in
today’s economy, you and your clients are seeking risk-free returns on
your investments. Therefore, in addition to providing the World’s Best
vacation experience both onboard and ashore, we have developed the
Crystal Assurance Plan (CAP). This new plan includes several policies
that will guarantee you, as well as your clients, the security and peace
of mind that you are making the right choice when you invest in the
World’s Best.
Price Guarantee and Protection: Crystal will continue to
protect your clients by giving them the best applicable fare offered by
Crystal Cruises even after they’ve booked.
Lower Deposits: Crystal has lowered 2009 cruise deposits
from 10% to 5% for all itineraries (except 2009 World Cruise and its
voyages). In addition, we have reduced required deposits for 2010 World
Cruise from 20% to $1,500 (CP, PS & PH) / $1,000 (AA, A, B & C).
Furthermore, we’ve extended the 2010 World Cruise full deposit deadline
to March 1, 2009.
Extended Options: Crystal will increase the option
period from three days to seven before your clients deposit is
required.
Cancellation Period Reduction: Your clients may now
cancel their cruise from 75 up to 45 days prior to sailing without
penalty on all 2009 itineraries (except 2009 World Cruise and its
voyages).
We know the challenges you are facing. Please rest assured that in
addition to the above measures Crystal will continue developing tools and
programs to help you sell – with the utmost confidence – a luxury
vacation experience that is tried-and-true.
