MIAMI and MENLO PARK, Calif., Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its
efforts at making a cruise vacation available to everyone, Carnival
Cruise Line is partnering with Uplift to bring flexible
pay-over-time options to Carnival guests. Instead of paying for the
cruise at the time of booking, Uplift Pay Monthly gives Carnival's
guests the freedom to finance their trip and pay over time.
With Uplift, vacationers can budget for their ideal trip by
making low monthly payments for up to 24 months. Uplift continues
to grow in popularity by providing consumers with an effective
budgeting tool to lock in the best fares. Carnival's guests
will be able to secure the ship, stateroom and itinerary of their
dreams while having clarity on the total cost with a predetermined
payment schedule and payment amounts.
Available through any Travel Advisor, carnival.com or via
Carnival's call centers, Uplift Pay Monthly can be used by U.S.
residents for all of Carnival's exciting voyages – from short
getaways to the Bahamas and
Mexico to longer vacations to
Alaska, Hawaii and Europe. Canadian residents will be able
to use Uplift soon, as well.
"Carnival is already the most affordable vacation in cruising,
and with Uplift, guests can enjoy the vacation of a lifetime by
spreading the cost of their trip into affordable monthly payments,"
said Ken Tate, chief commercial
officer for Carnival Cruise Line. "Uplift's unique zero money down
option with up to 24 set monthly payments and its pure focus on
travel made Uplift a natural choice for Carnival to partner
with."
Uplift Pay Monthly seamlessly integrates into Carnival's
existing booking and payment processes, making it easy for guests
to receive an instant decision. There are no prepayment penalties
and guests clearly see the total cost of their trip at the time of
booking, enabling them to easily budget for their dream cruise
vacation.
"Our mission is to make travel more accessible, affordable and
rewarding for everyone," said Uplift President Rob Soderbery. "Travel has become a fundamental
part of our lives, and today's consumers rightly demand more
flexibility. We are thrilled to partner with Carnival Cruise
Line and help more people enjoy a dream vacation."
