The Layaway Cruise™ plan by Cruise and Rail

Posted by on Dec 1, 2012 in Blog | 0 comments

Cruise and Rail Travel Int’l Ltd (“Cruise and Rail”), Layaway Cruise™ plan makes the impossible dream of great cruise vacation possible,  through monthly payment towards the cruise of your dreams.  Did you see an exciting cruise that you really have to take, but you don’t have all the cash now?  Don’t worry! We can help you out with our interest-free monthly payment plan.  Put a little down now, and then a little every month and – Bingo that Cruise is all yours.

Time is the Great Equalizer  

The Layaway Cruise™ plan works very simple; you make the monthly payments  for the agreed upon time and you are on your way to the cruise of your dreams.   The size of the payment and the number of payments will depend on the cruise line deposit requirement, the number of months between the booking and the cruise or vacation and the date the final payment is due to the vacation host or provider.  Under the Layaway Cruise™ plan final payment on a trip is 60 or 90 days prior to the departure date.  Remember……… one one dutty build dam.

How the Layaway Cruise™ plan can work for you

To get the most benefit out of a Layaway Cruise™ plan you will want to give yourself enough time to pay for the cruise or vacation.  Cruise and Rail can book a cruise vacation for you this week, and you can be cruise next week.  In fact, we can book a cruise for you today, and you can travel tomorrow.  However, just like airline tickets, last-minute cruise prices may not be cheap.  We encourage you to plan today for the vacation of your dreams 6-12 months from now.   If the price of your vacation goes up, which happens many times, you are protected from the price increase on the Layaway Cruise™ plan, if you stick to the terms and conditions.

Cruise lines deposits

Cruise line deposits are generally $200-$500 per person, based on the length of the cruise, and general cruise line policy. However, there are occasions when the deposit requirement is higher.  Our Layaway Cruise™ plan carries a lower deposit requirement.  The advantage of working with Cruise and Rail is that as experts in the cruise industry, we will make sure you are taking advantage of any and all discounts available at the time you make your reservation and pay your Layaway Cruise™ plan deposit.

Rail Vacations deposits

Rail vacation deposits are generally $250-$450 per person. However, there are occasions when the deposit requirement is higher.  Our Layaway Cruise™ plan carries a lower deposit requirement for Rail Vacations.

All Inclusive Vacations

The Layaway Cruise™ plan works for All Inclusive Vacations too. The initial deposit for an all inclusive vacation package is usually $100 – $200 per person.  Unlike cruise vacations, the initial deposit on the all inclusive vacation package must be paid, when we sign the Layaway Cruise™ plan agreement.

The Layaway Cruise™ plan Exclusions

Airfare may be included in the Layaway Cruise™ plan for Cruise and Rail escorted group trips, because the airfare is treated as part of the whole package and no separate payment is required. However, generally, airfare is due in full with the initial deposit for the Layaway Cruise™ plan. We specialize in all-inclusive layaway vacations to Dunes Hotel & Beach Resorts, Isla Caribe Beach Hotel, and Rex Resorts among others.
