Your Questions, Answered-
Your fare includes your stateroom, all meals in the main dining room and buffet, onboard entertainment, access to pools and amenities, and on our group sailings — onboard homeschool activities and learning experiences, already built into the price you see. Specialty restaurants, shore excursions, drinks packages, and gratuities are typically extra.
-
Not for “closed loop” cruises- starting and ending port are the same. It’s always a good idea to have passports when traveling out of the country, but you CAN go without it.
-
On some cruise lines, yes — but it depends on availability. Certain cabin categories are rated for up to 5 guests, typically using a mix of a sofa bed, pullman (wall-fold) berth, or trundle. These cabins are limited and tend to book up quickly.
If a 5-person cabin isn't available, many families book two adjacent cabins (sometimes connecting) which gives more space and flexibility. Let us know your group size on the inquiry form and we'll check what options are available for your voyage. -
