Is your cruise booking transfer-eligible?

Whether you can move your booking to a CLIA-accredited advisor comes down to three things: your cruise line's transfer window (14–90 days from deposit, by line), whether you've paid in full, and whether you booked direct or through another agency. Answer four quick questions for an instant read — we confirm the exact deadline with the line in writing, free.

The clock starts on your deposit date and varies a lot by line — the short ones catch people out. These are the same figures the checker above runs on.

eligibility — the common questions

What decides whether you can transfer.

How do I know if my cruise booking is transfer-eligible?
Three things decide it: your cruise line's transfer window (14–90 days from deposit, by line), whether you've reached final payment (most lines bar transfers once paid in full), and whether you booked direct or through another agency (agency bookings need a written release). The checker estimates from those answers; your advisor confirms the exact deadline with the line in writing.
What if I've already paid my cruise in full?
On several lines (Princess, Cunard, Seabourn, Disney, Carnival) being paid in full ends transfer eligibility. On others it depends on timing, so we confirm per booking rather than assume. Either way the checker won't tell you a flat yes — it flags it for confirmation.
Can I transfer a booking I made through another travel agency?
Usually, within about 30 days of booking and provided your current agency signs a written release. Most release without friction; some large discount agencies decline. There's never a release fee — that isn't a thing in this industry.
