FAQs
Cruises
What’s included in a cruise package?
Most cruise packages include accommodations, meals, entertainment, and access to ship facilities like pools, gyms, and lounges. Extras like specialty dining, shore excursions, drinks, and spa treatments are usually additional.
Do I need a passport for a cruise?
Short answer, it depends.
If you are on a closed loop cruise, a government-issued ID and birth certificate may suffice, but a passport is still recommended.
A closed loop cruise is one that starts and ends in the same place. For example, if you start in NYC, and end in NYC.
Can I get special accommodations?
Absolutely! I can find just about any accommodation you can think of, just let me know!
How do I choose the right cruise for me?
Consider factors like destination, cruise line, ship size, onboard amenities, budget, and the type of experience (family-friendly, luxury, adventure, etc.).
What’s the best time to book a cruise?
Booking early (6-12 months in advance) often gets you the best selection and price. Last-minute deals can also be found but may limit your options. Typically full payment will be due 90 days before the cruise, and payments can be made until then.
What should I pack for a cruise?
Essentials include casual clothing, formal wear (for some cruise dinners), swimsuits, sunscreen, a passport, medications, and comfortable shoes for excursions. Check your cruise line’s dress code and packing suggestions.
Will I get seasick?
Seasickness is rare due to the ship’s stabilizers, but if you’re concerned, pack motion sickness remedies or choose a cabin in the middle of the ship for less movement.
How much should I budget for extras?
Extras include alcoholic drinks, specialty dining, shore excursions, spa treatments, internet access, and gratuities.
Are there activities for kids and teens?
Most cruise lines have kids’ clubs, teen lounges, and age-appropriate activities like pools, waterslides, sports, and game rooms. Some ships also have babysitting services.
What if I don't want a cruise with children?
Trust me, I hear you.
There are adult only cruises! Just let me know and I can look into the best deals for you for those cruise lines.
What happens if I miss the ship at a port?
Short answer: Don’t do that.
If you’re late returning to the ship from a shore excursion, the ship may depart without you. This includes when stopped at a destination mid cruise.
Always return on time, or book excursions through the cruise line to ensure you’re back before departure.
What happens if there’s bad weather?
Cruise lines monitor weather conditions closely. If necessary, they may alter the itinerary for safety, but most ships are equipped to handle rough seas with minimal disruption.
Is internet available onboard?
Yes, most ships offer Wi-Fi, but it’s typically slower and more expensive than on land. Some cruise lines offer package deals for unlimited or daily internet use.
