How not to be charged the $25 last minute booking fee:

Put in your request at least two workdays prior to leaving home.

Put in your request by Wednesday, if you are leaving this Saturday, Sunday or Monday. That will give us Thursday and Friday to work on your request.

Put in your request by Thursday, if you are leaving Tuesday. That will give us Friday and Monday to work on your request.

We love your last minute requests.

But you should know that our system won't take bookings made at the very last minute. You'll have to call us (888-355-0220 or 414-964-2100).

We're going to charge your credit card an extra $25 per booking (not per person) just to process your request.

Some ShoreTrips book up weeks and months in advance. Don't hate us if what you want is no longer available and we still charge you the $25 fee.

Getting a confirmation may take some time. Since you're responsible for printing your own vouchers, you'll need access to a computer. We don't think that it is wise to rely on the cruise ship's internet lounge. It's expensive and not always available. And because we don't make refunds for no-shows, we think that you should cancel any unconfirmed ShoreTrips request just before you leave your home. But you can't cancel the $25 fee.
