The words a shore booking for two actually uses
Short definitions for the terms that come up between a message sent from an airport and a door closing again on the last night ashore, written the way the house applies them.
-
Outcall
Outcall means she travels to the room the two of you checked into. There is no address to come to on this side, and no visit to a vessel.
-
Overnight
An overnight is a fixed block of eight hours, EUR 2,500 for a couple with one therapist, with both ends of it written down before anybody travels.
-
Arrival Window
Forty to sixty minutes is the span between a confirmed hour and a knock at a central Amsterdam door, counted from the moment the hour is agreed.
-
Deposit
Half the fee confirms nearly every booking made on this site, and it is the first half of the money itself rather than a security held aside and handed back.
-
Balance on Arrival
The second half of the fee is settled at the door in cash, in euro or in another major currency agreed in writing beforehand. Nothing is added.
-
Cancellation and refunds
What is kept when a booking is called off follows the notice given: everything back beyond twenty-four hours, half inside the final day, none once she leaves.
-
False Bookings
A false booking is one placed in somebody else's name, from another person's number or profile, or sent as a joke. An honest no-show is none of those.
-
Twenty-one or over
Everybody in the room has to be twenty-one or over, whoever wrote the booking. A photo document may be asked for at the door, and is never copied.
-
Embarkation Evening
The evening before a sailing cannot slide, so it is planned from the boarding hour backwards rather than from dinner forwards.
-
Turnaround Day
A turnaround day is the day one voyage ends and another begins: the cabin gone by breakfast, the next room not ready, and an afternoon in between.
-
Day Room
A day room is a hotel room taken for part of a day rather than a night, and once it has a number it is an ordinary address for a booking.
-
First Night Ashore
The night a voyage ends is the one night of a cruise trip with nothing behind it, which makes it the night the longer formats belong to.
-
Booking Thread
The thread is the single written conversation a booking runs through, and it is where the hour, the format, the address and the money are all settled.
-
Schiphol by arrangement
A room at a Schiphol airport hotel is taken one booking at a time, with the journey time agreed with you in writing before the hour is fixed.
