What To Check Before Booking

  • Whether the itinerary matches the ship style.
  • Whether drinks, Wi-Fi, dining or gratuities are included in the fare you are viewing.
  • Whether the cabin location suits light sleepers or seasickness-prone travellers.
  • Whether port travel, hotels and parking change the real cost of the trip.
