MIAMI, June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In a cruise
industry first, Carnival Cruise Line has launched a convenient new
pay-over-time program that allows guests to pay for their cruise in
three monthly installments.
Carnival EasyPay is designed as a truly hassle-free vacation
payment option as it allows guests' cruise payments to be
automatically deducted from the credit card on file and applied to
their current balance interest-free over a three-month period.
Guests simply make their initial cruise deposit and then the
balance of their cruise is charged in three equal payments which
are taken out automatically on the same designated day for three
consecutive months. Guests can either register for the program at
carnival.com or via the line's call centers. Travel agents
can also sign up for Carnival EasyPay to process payments on behalf
of their clients.
"A Carnival cruise is already the most affordable and
value-packed vacation there is and with Carnival EasyPay we're
making budgeting and paying for a cruise even easier and more
convenient," said Christine Duffy,
president of Carnival Cruise Line. "Rather than having to
remember to pay for their cruise, Carnival EasyPay provides guests
with peace of mind knowing that their payment is being processed
automatically. Carnival EasyPay certainly lives up to its
name!"
Guests must make a required deposit on their cruise fare to be
eligible for Carnival EasyPay. Additionally, the
deposit due date must be at least 90 days before the final payment
date. The first installment is charged to guests' credit card
30 days from the date of the deposit with two additional monthly
installments thereafter. While Carnival EasyPay is available
at no cost, guests are responsible for any interest charges by
their credit card provider.
Guests are prompted to select Carnival EasyPay in the "How Would
You Like to Pay" section of carnival.com when ready to make payment
on their booking. Guests can also sign up for or cancel
Carnival EasyPay after the initial deposit is made by visiting the
"Manage My Booking" tab on carnival.com.
Additional information on Carnival EasyPay is available at

program can be viewed here.
