Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Ensure passports are valid for at least six months after the cruise, or have a state-certified birth certificate and valid government-issued photo ID if you are a U.S. citizen age 16 or older and do not have a passport.
  • Make all monthly payments by the specified deadlines to avoid cancellation and forfeiture of funds; final balances are due by September 15, 2026.
  • Factor in the recommended $80 per person gratuity and transportation to Fort Lauderdale when budgeting for the trip, as these are not included in the cruise rate.
  • Register for the cruise using the exact name as it appears on your passport or required identification to avoid any boarding issues.
  • Consider purchasing travel insurance, which is available at an additional cost, to protect your investment in this vacation.
