Cabin Resale Safety

Why this page exists

Cabin resales are part of how our community has always worked. When someone cannot make a sailing, another guest gets a chance to come aboard. We want that to keep happening, and we want it to happen safely.

Recent scams have targeted Dave Koz cruisers in our Facebook groups and through direct messages. Some have involved guests posing as sellers and disappearing with payment. Others have involved people impersonating Dave's management or Redwood Travel Partners.

This page is your guide to navigating cabin resales safely. Bookmark it, share it, and come back to it any time something feels off.

Three rules that will keep you safe

One. Always loop in Redwood Travel Partners before any money moves. Every legitimate cabin transfer involves Redwood directly. Email info@redwoodtravelpartners.com or call (888) 471-3313 to verify the seller and the reservation before you agree to anything. If someone tells you Redwood is not necessary, or that they will handle paperwork later, stop.

Two. There is no such thing as a private VIP package with personal Dave access for sale outside the official cruise. If you receive an offer like this, no matter how warmly written, it is a scam. Do not respond. Forward it to fraud@redwoodtravelpartners.com and delete it.

Three. Trust your instincts on pressure and urgency. Real sellers do not rush you. Real transfers take a few days to process. If someone tells you the cabin will be lost if you do not pay today, or that another buyer is waiting in line behind you, that pressure is the scam working on you. Pause and contact Redwood via phone before doing anything else.
