Access Key Update 3/30:
To allow our Rockstar sailor services crew time to catch up and service current requests, we have put a pause on sending out more. We plan to resume towards the end of the week and will continue moving forward in small batches.
Overall this process could take a few weeks, and we truly appreciate your patience.
We have PLENTY of available sailings, and there is room for everyone 🎉 Of the 33 offered voyages, only a few are at capacity (mainly February). If your Access Key does not zero out the voyage fare, it is at capacity, and we kindly ask you to pick a new sailing. Feel confident booking our earlier sailings as we've always done right by our sailors!
If your access key has locked, no need to call sailor services; it will reset itself in 48-hours.
