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 in the footer of every page.
Joining a Gaming Adventures Cruise requires three purchases:
Note: Your private space and sleeping room on a cruise is referred to as your "cabin". The vast majority of cabins on a cruise ship are "double occupancy" - meaning they are set up for two people to share the room.
Participation in one of our cruises 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 is our method of gathering the information that is required to submit to the cruise line to create your booking. Everyone in your cabin needs a badge.
Special Considerations: The following are fields requested in the Booking Process:
Cabin Number - The Cabin Number comes from your Cabin Deposit purchase. 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 cabin in the Merch system. If you end up purchasing a different cabin for whatever reason, go back and edit your badge information after the purchase to change the cabin number to match your actual cabin or contact us directly and we can make the change for you.
Gender - We recognize and value all members of the Clocktower community regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression. Unfortunately the cruise line's booking system will only allow an entry of "M/F". If your passport has a gender identity other than "M/F" please contact us directly and we will seek guidance from the cruise line.
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 you 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.
Deposits are $100 per cabin. "Minion" badges receive a discount code to make their deposit free.
After making a deposit you will pay for the rest of your cabin by purchasing a Cabin Remainder item by the final payment deadline: Sunday, December 1, 2024.
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.
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. 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 Sunday, December 1, 2024, 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.
