FAQ
What does cruising look like?
A deposit is required to reserve a cabin for a cruise. It can range from $50-$100. Your balance is due 30 days before departure. Check into your cabin after you arrive at port. You may then participate in one or more of the many activities onboard.
Is there anything I should know about cruises?
You should know many things before going on your first cruise. First, you should remember that you will be traveling alongside other people. You never know what they think about things so don't be too critical. Be aware that you will likely be eating with strangers. Dress appropriately. Avoid wearing shorts and tank tops while on deck. Comfortable clothing will not cause you to get dirty. Prepare for extreme temperatures. Pack plenty of sunscreens. You should bring a hat and sunglasses as well as a jacket for when you spend time outdoors. Remember that you are responsible. Don't drink-drive!
Are cruise ships safe?
Yes, cruise ships can be very safe to travel on. Cruise ships are equipped to handle the most sophisticated technology and security measures. Cruise ships also follow strict safety standards. Crew members receive extensive training and must pass background check. Before boarding the ship, passengers must be screened. Some cruise lines require passengers to provide proof of vaccinations against certain illnesses. If you ever have concerns about your safety while on board, contact the cruise line's customer relations department immediately.
Do I have to tip my Cruise Director
This varies from cruise line to cruise line. Some cruise directors get tips, while others do not. The best way to find out if you need to tip your Cruise Director is to ask them when you board the ship. They will often tell you if tips are expected.
Book my cruise after or before I book my airfare.
It all depends on where you're traveling. You will have more flexibility when it comes to dates if you book your cruise early. For example, if you know you will be going to Europe during the summer months, you could plan a cruise around those dates. On the other hand, if you are going to Asia or South America, you might want to book your cruise later to avoid high season prices.
