Cruise Planning FAQ
Do I need a passport to cruise?
While some “closed-loop” cruises from U.S. ports (like Galveston) allow for a birth certificate and ID, we always recommend a passport for your safety and flexibility in case of an emergency.
What is included in my cruise fare?
Most fares include your accommodations, primary dining, and onboard entertainment. However, we can help you navigate “all-inclusive” packages that cover Wi-Fi, beverages, and gratuities to ensure there are no surprises on your final bill.
When is the best time to book a 2026 cruise?
To get the best cabin locations and “early bird” pricing, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for high-demand itineraries like Alaska or the Summer Mediterranean.
