Membership with inCruises vs. Other Membership Sites
The Pros and Cons of inCruises Membership
Pros:
Discounted Cruises: As a member of inCruises, you can access discounted fares for cruises, which can save you money on your vacations.
Two-for-One Points: inCruises offers a “2 for 1” Reward points, where you earn points for every dollar you pay in membership fees. This means you get double the value for your money.
Flexibility in Booking: Members have the flexibility to book cruises through inCruises at their convenience, allowing for easier planning of vacations.
Additional Benefits: Depending on your membership level, you may receive additional benefits such as onboard credits, cabin upgrades, or other perks to enhance your cruise experience.
Cons:
- No Last-Minute Cruises with inCruises: One main downside of being a member partner with inCruises is that you can only book cruises that are at least 3 months away. This means if you want to take a spontaneous vacation or find a great deal on a cruise leaving next month, you won’t be able to book it through inCruises. This limitation can make it harder to plan last-minute trips.
Membership Fees: To maintain access to discounted fares and benefits, members are required to pay monthly membership fees. These fees can add up over time and may be a financial commitment for some individuals.
Point Conversion: If membership fees are not paid for more than 3 consecutive months, the points earned through the “2 for 1” Reward points will convert to a “1 for 1” Reward points. This means you will earn fewer points for your membership fees, reducing the value of your membership.
- Reactivation Fees: If your account gets deactivated due to missed payments of more than 3 consecutive months, you will need to pay a reactivation fee of 100 $US, along with the monthly membership fee of 100 $US. This means you will have to pay 200 $US in total to get your account back on track. Plus, you will only get a portion of your Reward points back when you reactivate your account.
Requirement to Stay Active: Members must maintain an active membership status to continue booking cruises and to enjoy the benefits offered by inCruises. This may require consistent payment of membership fees to avoid losing access to discounted fares and other perks.
But Here’s What to Expect When Booking Your Cruise
Let’s imagine you’re excited about going on a cruise vacation in October. You go to book your dream cruise in July, 3 months before your trip. But, here’s the catch: inCruises only lets you book cruises that are at least 3 months away. So, you can’t book a cruise that leaves in just 1 month.
Now, you’re ready to book your October cruise. You’ve picked your destination, and you’re all set to go. But wait! Before you can finalize your booking, you need to make sure you’ve paid your monthly membership fee for July. That’s because inCruises requires you to have an active paying membership when you book a vacation.
So, in this example, since you’re booking in July for a cruise in October, you need to have paid your membership fees for both July and October. If you haven’t, you might be refused boarding when it’s time to set sail.
But there’s one more thing to keep in mind: when you’re booking your cruise, you can only use up to 50% of your points. This means you will need to pay for the other 50% in cash. This rule can be a downside for many people, as it means you might not be able to use all your points to cover the cost of your cruise.
Overall, while being a member of inCruises offers great discounts and benefits, these rules about booking and using points can be a bit tricky to understand.
Here’s an Example for a 5000 $US Disney Cruise
Imagine you’re a member of inCruises, and you’ve been eyeing a 5000 $US Disney cruise for your family. You’ve been diligently paying your monthly membership fees, and as a result, you’ve accumulated 3000 points in the “2 for 1” Reward points.
Now, when it comes time to book your dream Disney cruise, you’re excited to use your points to save some money. Since you have 3000 points, you can use up to 50% of them for this booking.
With the “2 for 1” Reward points each dollar you’ve paid in membership fees earns you two points. So, if you’ve earned 3000 points, it means you’ve paid 1500 $US in membership fees (1500$ x 2 = 3000 points).
Since you’re booking a 5000 $US Disney cruise, you can use up to 50% of your points, which would be 1500 points. This means you will need to pay the remaining 70% of the cruise cost yourself.
So, if you use 1500 points, it would cover 1500 $US of the cruise cost, leaving you with 3500 $US to pay from your own pocket. But here’s the twist: you’re leaving 1500 points in your account to use toward another cruise in the future! But remember, if you leave the InCruises membership, you will lose all your Reward points as they are non-refundable.
In the end, whether joining inCruises is the right choice depends on what suits you best. Some might find it appealing, especially if they really enjoy traveling. However, it’s important to realize that becoming a member or partner means committing for the long haul. If you’re someone who loves exploring new places and can see yourself making use of inCruises’ benefits over time, it could be a good fit. Just take your time to think it over and decide if it matches your goals and lifestyle.
If you’re not into long-term commitments and aren’t interested in saving with inCruises’ 2 for 1 Reward points, then you might want to check out options like Dollar Flight Club, Expedia or Cruise Direct for your travel needs.
