What Added Expenses should I expect?
There are always opportunities to spend more money while on vacation, but the top additional items to consider are noted below. We will work together to personalize a budget outline based on your travel goals and style.
Airfare: I can quote and book this for you. Can take the train or drive as an alternative.
Travel Insurance: Cruise Line or third party (Single Trip or Annual Policy) are available.

How do I book?
In order to be in the group rate and get the perks and onboard credit, you MUST book through me! While you are able to use many VIFP rates if they are better than the block group rate, I still have to create the booking on your behalf within the umbrella of the group. This cannot be changed after the fact.
Travel Documents
U.S. citizens taking a "closed-loop" cruise (sailings that both originate and terminate in the same U.S. port) are not
required to have a passport, but will need proof of citizenship such as an original or certified copy of a birth certificate, a certificate of naturalization, a passport card, an enhanced driver's license (EDL) as well as a government-issued photo ID.
Children are also required to bring proof of citizenship and if 16 and over a photo ID is also required.
While a passport is not a requirement for this trip, I highly recommend it to simplify your travel experience.
