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.
