Get Ready, Get Set, GO!
Things To Know Before You Go.
|
Planning for your
cruise vacation can be half the fun. On a Royal Caribbean
vacation, nearly everything is taken care of and, in order to help
you get ready, we've put together this collection of some of the
most commonly asked questions.
With
all there is to do on a Royal Caribbean vacation adventure, you'll
never sit still unless it's to stop and wonder at what's around
you. Which, by the way, is easy to do since our ships have more
glass than any other cruise ships afloat. That means you get
absolutely out-of-this- world views of every destination and the
trip along the way.
Additional Information to know before you go

What
Does The Cruise Price Include?
The price of your cruise
vacation includes ship accommodation, ocean transportation, most
meals, some beverages and most entertainment
aboard the ship. All prices are per-person, based on double

of the stateroom, and are quoted in US Dollars. The cruise
vacation price
does not include air transportation, transfers or items of
personal nature, such as shore excursions, some beverages,
photographs, gratuities,
medical services, etc. These items may be purchased separately.
The
cruise fares quoted also do not include any applicable government
taxes,
fees or surcharges that may be assessed by any governmental or
quasi- governmental agencies. Such assessment is subject to change

Will The Price Change?
Royal Caribbean International reserves
the right to increase published cruise rates and air fare
supplement rates without prior notice. However, once Royal
Caribbean has received a full deposit for a guest, the cruise
vacation rates and air fare supplement rates, if applicable, will
not change although the guest will remain liable for any
applicable taxes, fees or surcharges that may be assessed by any
governmental or quasi-governmental agencies. In addition, Royal
Caribbean reserves the right to assess the air fare supplement
customer a charge covering any fuel surcharge increases assessed
against Royal Caribbean.

cruise vacation, or if you interrupt or cancel your vacation once it
