How to Know If the Ultimate Paradise Pass is For You
Here’s what to consider before purchasing this pass:
- Voyages on this pass can only be booked 24 to 72 hours in advance, so those who can’t travel on short notice or without flexible schedules are likely unable to utilize it;
- There are a few blackout dates in place where the pass can’t be used: July 2, July 28, September 2, November 23, December 31;
- The Ultimate Paradise pass is non-transferable, and the pass holder must travel on every booking with their chosen guest;
- It does not include taxes, fees, port expenses, gratuities, fuel surcharges, or onboard expenses, so travelers will need to be prepared to pay for those out of pocket.
Fully review the terms and conditions before making the purchase.
