THIS week Royal Caribbean launched its
ChoiceAir program, designed to allow agents
to book flights and cruises at the same time.
The ChoiceAir online tool can be used to
book flights for cruises on Royal Caribbean
International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara
Club Cruises.
The tool can be accessed by agents 24-hours
a day via Royal Caribbean’s Cruising Power, and
individualises flights to individual clients needs,
meaning that it only shows flight options
which connect with the cruise’s embarkation
and disembarkation times, and which adhere
to ticketing time limits and fare rules.
In addition, the tool lets guests choose their
preferred flight class, links air reservation with
cruise reservation, and provides an option to
add airport to seaport transfers.
In terms of agents, international airfares
booked through ChoiceAir are commissionable.
“Royal Caribbean’s Air/Sea team are on hand
able to assist before, during and after the
cruise,” RCL said in a statement.
“ChoiceAir allows Royal Caribbean to monitor
guests’ travel to the ship, and step in to help
should they encounter any difficulties in transit.
“Should the guest miss the ship’s departure,
Royal Caribbean can also work with airline
partners to get them to the next port-of-call
as quickly and conveniently as possible,” the
statement added.
MEANWHILE, to mark the launch RCL is
giving agents the chance to win a cruise for
two to Hawaii sailing 18 nights onboard
Rhapsody of the Seas.
To be in the running, agents need to make
five new bookings using ChoiceAir, and then
send an email listing each booking’s
reference, and then explain in 25 words or
less why they will be using ChoiceAir when
booking cruises.
