What to Expect After Booking

Upon booking a cabin on JoCo Cruise, you will receive a JoCo Cruise booking number. It will look something like this: jc10_AbcdefgH. You will also have an account with the JoCo Cruise Booking System.

Each cabin booking has a Primary contact. Every Primary contact person has a JoCo Cruise account. It is HIGHLY recommended that all Secondary guests also create their own individual JoCo Cruise accounts and link their account to the Primary contact account once both are in place. This will ensure that you will receive notices directly from JoCo Cruise, including information unique to you.

Depending on when you booked, the following may happen much later, but in this general order (all times are approximate, based on past history):

5 to 8 months prior to sailing

Guest / lineup announcements will be made. There may be multiple announcements prior to sailing.
