Things to include re air travel -Effective May 2025, if your drivers license does not have the “star” in the top right corner (indicating REAL ID), you will not be able to travel by air, regardless of where you are traveling. -You can use a passport book in place of a license. -Passport Cards will not allow you to board a plane from outside of the country (including Bahamas and Mexico) should you have an emergency. You need a Passport Book. Don’t risk it. I -It takes more than six weeks to apply online and complete the passport process. Plan accordingly. Apply no later than March. Re: Cruise insurance -Strongly recommend purchasing the travel insurance. It costs (???) and is the only way you will get a refund if the cruise is cancelled for bad weather or if you have to cancel for injury, illness, death, etc emergencies. (Emmala, ask Brianna exactly how much the travel insurance is for this sailing and put that in the note). Re tips Cabin steward tip is $16/day. You can pay it in advance, or it will be deducted from your credit/debit card on file, at the end of your cruise. Tips (@18%) are automatically included for all drink purchases, so no need to add one. Re Motion Sickness -If this is your first cruise, make sure you buy and take Dramamine (for motion sickness). It is available at any drug store, Walmart, or Amazon. -It works like a vitamin so must be take an hour BEFORE boarding the ship, and one more after boarding. -It is not very helpful AFTER you experience nausea and vomiting effects of motion sickness. -Most people only need it the first day.
