WHAT TO WEAR ONBOARD:
During the day, dress on board is casual.
There are two "dress-up" nights for seven day cruises. Some
times a special theme night is also offered during the week.
Refer to your Daily Information sheet while onboard for nightly dress
information.
• Formal – on these nights you can get as dressed up as
you like. Men: Tuxedo or a suit. Ladies, a long or short cocktail dress,
black silk pants, or anything in which you’d feel comfortable attending a
cocktail party.
• Informal – Men: jacket. Ladies, a dress or pant outfit
is appropriate (no blue jeans).
• Casual – Men: an open shirt and slacks. Ladies:
anything you’d wear out for dinner is appropriate. No shorts are allowed
in the dining room for dinner.

DAILY INFORMATION SHEET:
The cruise line will provide you with a daily information sheet
which will be placed in your cabin each evening. This lists all the activities that will take place the
following day. It is a good
idea to carry this with you so that you’ll know exactly what’s going on
at all times.
LIFE BOAT DRILL:
All cruise guests are required to attend the
life boat drill prior to departure. A map on your stateroom door will show
you where your life boat "muster station" is located. Times will
be advised. The ship’s horn will sound 7 short blasts. Take 1 life jacket
per person and report to your muster station. Child sized life jackets are
available from your cabin steward.
DISEMBARKATION/BREAKFAST
When the ship arrives back in port on the last day of your cruise,
breakfast will be served earlier than usual. It normally requires one to two
hours for the Customs Officials to clear the ship after it has docked. Keep
in mind that all guests are leaving the ship at the same time. Relax,
don’t rush, everything will go smoothly as they do this every week. If you
have exceeded your custom limits on alcohol, cigarettes, cigars, jewelry,
etc. instructions will be given to you from the ship prior to
disembarkation. You may be required to go through Customs prior to
disembarking the ship. There will be plenty of time for you to do this, no need to
disrupt your scheduled breakfast seating.
Don’t stand in the hallways waiting to disembark.
Relax on deck or in one of the lounges. Read a book; listen to your
head set CD player. Let the majority of the guests disembark first (unless,
of course, you have a very early return flight. If so, make arrangements
with the front desk to be one of the first guests to disembark.)
Disembarkation tags will be given out the night prior.
