Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re new to cruising or looking for insider tips, this guide covers everything you need to know—from language and transportation to etiquette and beyond. Get ready to embark on your cruise with confidence and make your journey smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable!

What's included in the cost of a cruise? 

Most cruise fares cover your stateroom, meals in main dining venues, onboard entertainment, taxes, port fees and access to facilities like pools and gyms. However, specialty dining, shore excursions, alcoholic beverages, gratuities, and spa treatments typically incur additional fees. It's important to review what's included and budget for extras to avoid surprises.  

What are prepaid gratuities?

Prepaid gratuities are a convenient way to cover service tips for your cruise staff in advance. Instead of settling gratuities at the end of your trip, you pay a set amount upfront, which is then distributed among your cabin steward, dining room servers, and other behind-the-scenes crew who work hard to make your experience seamless. This option takes the guesswork out of tipping, ensures fair compensation for the crew, and allows you to enjoy your vacation without worrying about extra charges at the end of your cruise.

How do I pay for things onboard? 

Cruise lines operate on a cashless system. Upon embarkation, you'll provide a credit or debit card, which is linked to your onboard account. All onboard purchases—from drinks and spa services to excursions—are charged to this account, and you'll settle the balance at the end of your cruise.  

What should I pack for a cruise? 

Pack comfortable clothing for daytime activities, swimwear for poolside relaxation, and dressier attire for formal nights or specialty restaurants. Don't forget essentials like sunscreen, power adapters, and any necessary medications. Many cruise lines provide packing lists to help you prepare.  

Can I bring alcohol or other beverages onboard? 

Cruise line policies on bringing beverages onboard can vary. Many allow each adult to bring a limited amount of wine or champagne, while others may have stricter rules. Typically, passengers are permitted to bring up to 12 non-alcoholic beverages (such as soft drinks) and 2 bottles of alcohol per person. Keep in mind that additional corkage fees may apply for alcoholic beverages. To avoid surprises or confiscation, it's best to review your specific cruise line policy in advance.

How do I choose the best cabin for my needs?

When selecting a cabin, think about your budget, the type of view you’d prefer, and how close you want to be to key amenities. Inside cabins are the most budget-friendly but don’t have windows, while ocean view and balcony cabins provide natural light and outdoor space. If you're traveling with family or a group, connecting cabins or suites can offer extra space and convenience. If you’re prone to claustrophobia, it’s especially important to consider a cabin with windows or a balcony for a more comfortable experience. 

What travel documents do I need to cruise?

To ensure a smooth cruise experience, having the right travel documents is essential. Most cruises require a valid passport, and depending on your itinerary, you may also need visas for certain countries. You’ll need these documents for embarkation (boarding) and debarkation (disembarking) at each port.

Since cruise ships depart promptly, missing the ship can lead to major inconvenience and extra costs, as you’d have to arrange your own transport to the next port. To avoid this, always return to the ship well before the scheduled departure time and keep your documents handy throughout your journey.

Do cruise ships have kid camps?

Yes! Most cruise ships are designed with families in mind and offer supervised kids’ clubs or “camps at sea” for different age groups. These programs are led by trained staff and feature age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, themed parties, and even science workshops. While children make new friends and enjoy fun activities in a safe environment, parents can take time to relax knowing their kids are well looked after. Some ships also offer teen lounges and family-friendly entertainment, making cruises an enjoyable experience for all ages.
