Choose the plan, choose your quantity (2, 3,4) etc
Then start the check out process
At the conclusion you will be asked numerous questions for checking out.
If you are paying after your deposit payment 2, 3 etc just choose the option and per person again.
After the deposit, Payment 2, Payment 3 have been paid, choose PAY any amount and type the monetary amount of your choice and check out, this is applied off of your balance owed.
Lastly you may always CHOOSE Pay In Full for any category and have just one transaction and your package paid for.
Passports:
You DO NOT HAVE to have a passport to cruise from a US Port back to a US Port, but please make sure you understand... if you do not have a passport and there is an emergency back at home... YOU will NOT be allowed to return home until the ship does. Having a passport guarantees that no one can hold you hostage on a cruise ship when an emergency calls. This is not to scare anyone but other carriers have had in the last year a couple of emergencies where the ship broke down, the reason it took so long to get MOST people off of the ship is because the majority of them did not have passports, and could not prove they were U.S. Citizen's.
If you do choose to get a passport do not waist the money on a passport card... get the book. If you do choose the less expense route and only get the passport card... and you decide the following year to visit another country via air... you will have to pay the money to get a Passport Book, so just get the book. A passport is good for 10 years. You can ONLY use a passport card for cruising.
So is a passport required for a cruise - No it is NOT Required, but HIGHLY recommended. Please note, if you choose to cruise without a passport, The Butler Enterprises nor You Deserve it Vacations can assist you when regaining entry back into the United States, you will need to contact the US Embassy.
You may visit the following website for submitting and receiving documents for your passport, please note the receipt back may take up to 2 MONTHS, start early so that you have your travel documents prior to departure. Minor children NOT traveling with both biological parent's (meaning Birth Mom and Birth dad listed on their birth certificate) need to fill out additional documents (see second link)
