Trips and Ship Luxury Travel Admin Fee
Why I Charge a $25 Admin Fee for Group Cruises
Planning a group cruise takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work to make sure everything runs smoothly and you have an amazing, stress-free experience. The $25 admin fee helps cover the extra time and services I provide to support your trip from start to finish, including:
✅ Managing bookings and keeping your group organized
✅ Handling special requests
✅ Communicating updates, deadlines, and important reminders
✅ Coordinating with the cruise line on your behalf and the groups behalf
✅ Answering questions and providing personal support throughout the process
This small fee allows me to give you the high level of service you deserve—and helps ensure your group cruise is everything you hoped for and more! You can pay the fee now ($25 per person) with this link or wait until you register for your classes and pay it at that time. Thanks for your understanding.
