Quite often I get calls from my clients asking all sorts of questions, most of which can be found at the back of cruise brochures in the ‘Need to know’ section.
Like myself though this section is not often read, that comes hand in hand with all small print, no one reads it.
So I thought I would do a list of answers to the most popular questions.
- Alcohol, Drinks can be taken on board but would normally be taken off you at the gangway and returned at the end of the cruise.
- Disembarkation for excursions is normally from 60 minutes after arrival into the port.
- For all destination safety guidance go to www.FCO.GOV.UK/KNOWBEFOREYOUGO
- WI-FI is available through-out all ships, bundles can be purchased at the Cyb@centre.
- For all British citizens a full British passport is required for all cruises.
- Visas,
-Egypt, stamp on arrival
-Australia, China and India, Visa required, Google CIBT for assistance
-Hong Kong, not required.
Vietnam, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Jordan, Myanmar and Cambodia, Can be purchased on board the ship.
-USA, ESTA Visa required.
