Booking a cruise may seem daunting if you've never done it before. We strive to make this as painless a process as possible. Please read through the steps below and if you have any questions contact us using the email address or phone number listed at the bottom of every page.
Joining BGG@SEA requires three purchases:
Participation in BGG@SEA requires you to book your cabin through us. If our cabin deposits are all sold out, that means our group is full. In that case, please join our waiting list here.
The badge, here on Tabletop.Events (TTE), is our method of gathering your personal information that is required to submit to the cruise line to create your booking.
Special Considerations: The following are fields requested in the Booking Process
Cabin Number - The Cabin Number comes from your Deposit purchase - See Here for options. As you are filling out your badge information, enter the cabin number you anticipate purchasing - a badge is required to be in your cart first before being able to purchase a Deposit in the Merch system. If you end up purchasing a different deposit for whatever reason, go back and edit your badge information after the purchase to change the cabin number to match your actual deposit or contact us directly and we can make the change for you.
Dining Time - Please review the Dining page for Main Dining Room options. You need to select a dining time when filling out your badge information for those evenings when you choose to dine in the Main Dining Room. This selection may be modified later if you change your mind, pending availability.
The deposit is your way to secure the cabin you want. It is also our way of making sure we don't oversell our group. You can see each of our cabin categories here:
As long as your are logged into Tabletop.events with your TTE account you can see which cabins are still available in our inventory on each of those pages.
Deposit pricing within a category will vary based on cabin occupancy and the prevailing rates at the time of adding those cabins into our inventory.
After making a deposit you will pay for the rest of your cabin by purchasing a Cabin Remainder item by the final payment deadline: Friday, April 11, 2025. (See How to make Final Payment for instructions.
The amount of this Remainder item is set by your cabin category and the occupancy (the number of people staying in the cabin).
You cannot just purchase a remainder without first purchasing a deposit. Any such purchases will be automatically refunded.
Tabletop.Events is a fantastic platform designed to run tabletop gaming events. However, because it is not built specifically for cruises there will be some adjustments and awkward terminology. Here's the step by step process to get registered for our cruise:
Log in with your TableTop.Events account, or first create one if necessary. (See How to Create a TTE Account)
Review the available Cabin Deposits. Check the available cabins listed for each category and look them up on the ship's Deck Plans. Have a desired cabin number in mind, but you won't be able to add a cabin deposit to your cart until after Step 4 when you have at least one badge in your cart.
Review the Main Dining Options and select an option for the Main Dining Room to be entered on your badge information.
Purchase a Badge (How to Buy a Badge) for every individual (Age 0-100+) in your cabin - Go to Attend > Get / View Your Badge and follow the prompts to add badges to the cart. It is ok to start with just one badge for one person for now, but every individual in the cabin must have a badge purchased for them before the final payment deadline. The Booking number is an optional field that Events Staff will fill in later, so please leave it blank for now.
Go to Attend > Merch to select your cabin. First, view the "Deposit" product for your desired cabin type. There will be a choice here for each cabin in our inventory. Once you have added the cabin deposit to your cart, you may complete the checkout process.
You should receive an email receipt indicating payment has been made. And you should receive an email welcome for each badge purchased that has your email address listed on the badge.
At this point, you are registered and we will contact Royal Caribbean with your information and have the cabin you picked reserved for you. Once we get your booking confirmation number back from RCCL we will update it in the optional field in your badge information. We usually do this in "batches" so please allow a few weeks to a month or so to get a booking number to you.
Between the date of this initial purchase and April 11, 2025, you must make final payment on the remainder of your cabin using the correct cabin type and occupancy. Any other items (travel protection, port transfers, activities and excursions) are optionally available but should also be purchased by the deadlines listed in the product descriptions.
