Every Number Matched
The base fare, taxes, and onboard credit lined up perfectly. No fine print, no surprises. That's why I trusted them.
James
Switching From Costco Paid Off
We almost booked with Costco for Royal Caribbean. They offered a small rebate card, but Zipsea added $400 in OBC...
Drew
Incredible perks with Zipsea!
..My party and I can actually utilize the credit for our excursions. What a seamless experience.
Jamie
The Real Deal!
Great OBC offers and comparable price to other sites. Had no issues with the booking or getting the OBC credited to my account. Customer service has been very responsive to my questions and needs.
Rebecca
Exemplary Service
Zipsea was able to give me onboard credit that Celebrity or other agents couldn't match. When the price dropped, I texted Mario and within 5 minutes he repriced my booking and saved me almost $1000.
Jean

Frequently Asked Questions
What is North Star on Odyssey of the Seas?

What activities are in the SeaPlex on Odyssey?
The SeaPlex is the largest indoor activity space at sea, featuring bumper cars, roller skating, basketball, circus school, and video game tournaments depending on the schedule.
How does Odyssey compare to Quantum of the Seas?
Odyssey is a Quantum Ultra ship—slightly larger with enhancements including Playmakers Sports Bar, expanded SeaPlex activities, and refined dining options while sharing core features like North Star and Two70.
What is onboard credit (OBC)?
Onboard credit is ship money you can use during your cruise—like a prepaid gift card. Spend it on drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, excursions, or onboard shopping.
How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?
Travel agents earn commission on every booking, and most keep it. We don't—we pass back the maximum onboard credit the cruise line allows, every time.
Do I pay more to book with Zipsea?
No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website—except we give you back the maximum onboard credit on top.
How much onboard credit will I actually get?
It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
