Ocean Cruises FAQ
What's included in an ocean cruise package?
Most ocean cruises include accommodations, meals in main dining rooms, entertainment, and access to onboard facilities. Specialty dining, alcoholic beverages, shore excursions, spa services, and gratuities may be additional. Luxury cruise lines often include more amenities. We'll help you understand exactly what's included in your specific cruise package.
How far in advance should I book my ocean cruise?
For the best cabin selection and pricing, we recommend booking 9-12 months in advance, especially for peak seasons like summer Alaska cruises or holiday Caribbean sailings. Last-minute deals are sometimes available 60-90 days before departure, but cabin choices may be limited.
What's the best time to cruise the Caribbean?
The Caribbean cruise season runs year-round, but the most popular time is December through April when weather is dry and temperatures are comfortable. Summer and fall offer lower prices but higher humidity and potential for tropical storms. Each season has its advantages depending on your preferences and budget.
Are ocean cruises suitable for families with young children?
Absolutely! Many cruise lines offer excellent family programs with supervised kids' clubs, water parks, family-friendly entertainment, and connecting staterooms. We specialize in matching families with cruise lines that best suit their children's ages and interests.
What documents do I need for an ocean cruise?
For closed-loop cruises (departing and returning to the same U.S. port), U.S. citizens need a government-issued photo ID and proof of citizenship. For cruises visiting foreign countries or one-way itineraries, a valid passport is required. Some destinations require visas. We provide a detailed document checklist for your specific itinerary.
What happens if I get seasick?
Modern cruise ships have stabilizers that minimize motion, and most passengers don't experience seasickness. Larger ships on calmer waters (like Caribbean cruises) have less movement. Medications, acupressure bands, and cabin location can help. Our team can recommend the best options based on your concerns.
Can I stay connected to the internet on an ocean cruise?
Yes, most cruise ships offer internet and Wi-Fi packages, though speeds and costs vary. Luxury lines often include complimentary internet. We recommend purchasing packages in advance for better rates. Keep in mind that at-sea connectivity won't match land-based internet speeds.
What should I pack for an ocean cruise?
Pack casual wear for daytime, swimwear, comfortable walking shoes for shore excursions, and dressier outfits for evening dining (requirements vary by cruise line). Don't forget sunscreen, medications, travel documents, and a light jacket. We provide a comprehensive packing list tailored to your specific cruise and destinations.
