Question #2: Royal Caribbean Cruise Formal Night?
We are getting married on the day we leave for our
cruise. Dec 31 2007. I have a ivory cocktail type
dress. Alittle below the knee. Would it be ok to
wear on formal night so I dont have to pack
another dress? I dont have a picture of it but
this is close just in Ivory/off-white.

night cruise to the Bahamas
Answer: Absolutely. Cocktail style dresses are very common
for cruise formal nights - I've definitely worn
them. You don't need a gown. Your husband can
wear a suit or a tuxedo.

Question #3: Tipping up front for Royal Caribbean Cruise?
It says 39.00 per person for a 4 night say on the
cruise. If we do this what all does it cover?
Who will we tip and will get the tip out of the
39.00? Is it better just to tip as we go ar to do
the 39.00 per person?Is it 39.00 per day or for
the 4 days? Is the 39.00 for the ones that handle
your luggage or is that seperate? If its seperate
how much do you tip them?So that you can thank
those who have made your cruise vacation better
than you could have imagined, we've developed
these gratuity guidelines: Suite attendant: $5.75
USD a day per guest Stateroom attendant: $3.50 USD
a day per guest Dining Room Waiter: $3.50 USD a
day per guest Assistant Waiter: $2.00 USD a day
per guest Headwaiter: $.75 USD a day per guest
Note: These gratuities apply to guests of all
ages.Gratuities for other service personnel are at
your discretion. A 15% gratuity will
automatically be added to your bar bill or wine
check when you are served. Envelopes for
gratuities will be provided in your stateroom on
the last night of the cruise. Gratuities may be
paid in the following ways: Pre paid by having
them added to your reservation by your reservation
agent. Added to your onboard SeaPass account.
Paid in cash at the end of the cruise If I do the
end of the cruise than do I still need to tip each
waiter or does this tip everyone?
Answer: I would do the $39 per person- it makes it a whole
lot simpler than going around handing out cash
each day. It also makes sure that the people you
dont see behind the scenes are also taken care of.

Has anyone taken a cruise to the western caribbean
on enchantment of the seas in November? I am
looking for pointers, what to expect for weather
at our ports of call: Key West, Cozumel and
Bahamas.What the enchantment ship is like? What
are the themes onboard, or how to get that
information? What is best to take advantage of
when I am at any of the ports of call and what I
should stay away from?What is the best hotel to
stay at in Fort Lauderdale pre cruise?
Answer: I've done this cruise. November 2004. Hurricane
Floyd. yes of course a hurricane. To make a long
story short. We flew into Miami - not Ft
Lauderdale - stayed at the Fountainbleu -
beautiful. Supposed to board on Monday 8 a.m.
didn't board until 8 p.m. the ship is
nice...big.... lots to do. go on line for all the
info...www.royalcaribbean.com. Key West is
great...lots of shopping in the port.
Bahamas..go straight to the casinos. Didn't do
Cozumel because the port was destroyed by the
hurricane. Hide anything valuable in your
room....the staff is not as honest as they seem.

Question #5: Passport for Caribbean cruise?
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan200
71800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2007/07-3104.htmThis
document at the DHS website states that if you
leave from a US port and return to the same port,
then a photo id and birth certificate are all that
will be required. It states U.S. cruise ship
passengers traveling within the Western Hemisphere
would be permitted to present a government issued
photo identification document in combination with
either (1) An original or a certified copy of a
birth certificate, (2) a Consular Report of Birth
Abroad issued by DOS, or (3) a Certificate of
Naturalization issued by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), when returning to
the United States, under certain conditions:
The passengers must board the cruise ship at a
port or place within the United States; and
The passengers must return on the same ship to the
same U.S. port or place from where they originally
departed.Has anyone else seen this?There is also a
statement on this here
http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_11823504221
71.shtmThe departments have also identified unique
circumstances for specific groups of travelers
that warrant permitting the use of alternative
documents.U.S. citizens on round trip cruise ship
voyages that originate and end in the United
States may present a government-issued photo ID
and birth certificates, Consular Reports of Birth
Abroad or Certificates of NaturalizationMike, the
documents that I referenced were not pertaing to
the temporary rule change, but to the final
implementation. This is what was submitted to the
National Register for their proposed rule change.
Answer: You need a passport.Do to the backlog of passport
applications, if you have applied for a passport
and still have not received it, you can go without
a passport... just bring birth certificate and
photo ID and proof that your application is
PENDING.

Question #7: Looking for a good deal on a Caribbean cruise?
Hi, I live in Toronto and I am looking for the
cheapest prices for a safe caribbean cruise. I am
hoping to leave around the week of August 20/07.
Any infomation would be appreciated.I Thank You
All In Advance For Your Replies.
Answer: I use vacationstogo.com to start my research and
then try to get a better deal than that. I've
booked through the cruiselines, a local TA and
vacations to go. I go with the best price for the
cruise I want. Keep in mind that prices for
cruises sometimes go down the closer to sailing
date but the best cabins get booked earlier than
that and airline rates go way up closer to the
date you want to fly.

Question #8: Royal Caribbean cruise....?
I am going on the Mariner ship in about a week...I
am 16, I was just wondering if there are other
kids my age on cruise ships b/c it seems like all
it is is just little kids...but also do you have
to be 18 to get into clubs because my sister is 18
and she would go and Im afraid i'd be stuck with
all the younger kids...
Answer: I went on a RC Cruise a year ago when i was 16 and
i made the best friends i ever had in my life.
They have dances every night and lots of teen
activities. Go the opening night, that's when you
meet people. There is nothing to really do on
cruises from the ages of 18-21. 18 or above and
your too old for teen stuff and sure you can go to
the clubs but you can't drink till your 21. That's
probably the worst age group to cruise. I'd say
15-17 is the best age for cruises.

Question #10: Regal Empress Caribbean Cruise?
The 2 night cruise departing from Ft. Lauderdale
to Nassau, Bahamas.Have you been on it? If so,
give me your review. I have read mixed reviews
about this cruise, however the most recent is one
from November 2006. I've read really bad ones,
some mediocre ones, and some pleasant ones. I know
not to expect an extravagant cruise ship, because
it is an old and smaller ship. I really want to
start with a small trip for my frist cruise.What
rooms do you recommend? What are the best off-boat
activities in Nassau? Anything else you want to
suggest!Thanks ahead of time for your imput!
Answer: I would not go on a 2 night cruise. It is too
short. Our first cruise was a 3 night to the
Bahamas, and when we got home, one of the first
things we did was start looking for a longer one.
If you want to try a small cruise, get a three or
four day. You will not get to experience the ship
in 2 nights, and this is what it is all about to
me. I need at least five nights in the dining
room to make it worth while.I am not fond of
Nassau. Too manhy people are too pushy to try and
get your money.
