What is the Referral Program for The Rock Boat?
You can earn money for referring your friends who have never attended a Sixthman event to The Rock Boat whether you are sailing with us or not!
For Cruisers:
For each new cabin you refer to The Rock Boat, you will earn $100 credit to your onboard spending account. Referrers will see a $100 credit on their onboard spending account by the third day of the cruise.
For Non-Cruisers:
For each new cabin you refer to The Rock Boat, you will earn $50 cash! Referrers will be sent a check for the amount due after the cruise has returned to ensure the referred passenger sailed.
Program Details:
Referrals will be reconciled 3 weeks prior to sailing, and will appear on the referrer’s confirmation. Please contact Sixthman PRIOR TO sailing if your referral does not appear on your confirmation.
All guests in the referred cabin must be new to any Sixthman event and the referral must be requested at the time of booking or registering for any waitlist.
The guest booking the new cabin must put your Sixthman Username in the REFERRAL blank when placing their reservation. Referrals are not retroactive and cannot be added after the reservation has been made. Referrals do not apply during the pre-sale period or after the final payment date of October 5, 2010.

How does travel insurance work?
Sixthman has teamed up with Travel Insured (TI), which specializes in marketing, managing and servicing travel insurance and emergency assistance services. Travel protection provides you with the necessary coverage to help safeguard your travel “investment" from unforeseen circumstances such as:
- Illness or injury to you or a traveling companion or immediate family member causing you to cancel or interrupt your trip
- Jury duty
- Job layoff or termination
- Terrorist events
- Bankruptcy or default of your airline, cruise line or tour operator
- A hurricane that strikes your trip
This coverage must be purchased before your final payment due date. Coverage for all benefits except trip cancellation will begin on the departure date. The trip cancellation benefit will begin at 12:01 a.m. on the day after TI receives your application. For Pre-Existing conditions to be covered you need to purchase the Insurance within 14 days of your deposit.
Effective February 15, 2009, TI will also offer "Cancel for Any Reason" Protection. (Not available to residents of Washington State) The Cancel for Any Reason option must apply to all passengers on the same application and is only available when selected at the same time as the original plan purchase and when the plan is purchased within 14 days of the passengers initial trip deposit.
Download our Insurance PDF for more details about this TI program. This plan will refund you 75% of what you have paid, and you must cancel within 2 days of the sailing.
We know you might have questions about what is and is not covered so we encourage you to read the online brochure or call TI at 1-866-684-0218 and specify you are calling about Sixthman Travel Protection.
How do I purchase cruise or travel insurance?
You may purchase travel insurance while placing your reservation online or by calling our representatives at 877-SIXTHMAN (877-749-8462) after your reservation has been placed. Insurance is done per person and based of the amount you'd like covered (minimum cost of the cabin per person with all taxes and fees). You may also call us to request additional coverage for other non-cruise travel, such as airfare and deposits on ground transportation or hotels.
Can I book a Suite or Penthouse?
There are a limited number of Suites available on the Verandah Deck and Penthouses on the Upper deck.
Please call our office if you wish to book a suite or check availability. The deposit amounts to book a suite are double that of the normal deposit schedule.
Can I attend if I am pregnant or just had a baby?
Any guest entering her 24th week or more is not permitted to sail and will be denied boarding. This policy is in place for the safety of the guest. The ship infirmaries are only equipped for minor emergencies, and are not hospitals. Infants under 6 months old are also not permitted to sail.
What are the age requirements for The Rock Boat?
Guests are required to be 21 years old (on embarkation day) to travel in their own cabin.
Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied in the same stateroom by an individual twenty-five years or older. The exceptions Carnival will make to this policy are:
- Guests under the age of 21 traveling with a parent or guardian in an accompanying stateroom.
- Married minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple is married. The couple must have proof of marriage at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund.
- Domestic Partners/Same-Sex Union minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple are legal Domestic Partners/Same-Sex Union. The couple must have legal proof of partnership/union at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund.
- Guest ages will be verified at embarkation. Guests not conforming to this policy will be denied boarding and assessed a 100% cancellation penalty. NO exceptions will be made at embarkation.
What is the bed configuration in each cabin?
All double occupancy cabins (with the exception of category 1A) have two twin beds that can be converted to a king. All triple occupancy cabins have two twins/king and one upper bunk bed or rollaway bed, and all quad occupancy cabins have two twins/king and two bunk beds OR two twins/king and one upper bunk and one rollaway bed.
All category 1A cabins have one lower twin bed and one upper bunk bed.
What if I want to book a single occupancy cabin?
Guests traveling by themselves in their own cabin are responsible for the double-occupancy rate of the cabin. Single occupancy cabins will be charged only one add-on of $149 for taxes and fees, and will receive a discount of $199 off the second cruise fare.
If you place your single occupancy reservation online please contact us upon completion so we can add the single occupancy discount.
