Today's cruise ships have it all. From complete health spa services to fabulous fine art auctions, your vacation can be a floating cultural retreat, shopping bonanza, or simply a way to pamper and reward yourself.

Internet Cafés
Newer ships have built-in Internet access in staterooms for laptop carrying passengers. Most ships now offer some sort of Internet access, generally near the library. Rates vary widely, with some lines offering a weekly rate for frequent users. Since access is via satellite, service is still not very reliable and can be very slow, increasing per-minute fees.

Boutiques
On Board Duty-free treasures from around the world await you in duty-free boutiques -exquisite fine jewelry, exotic cruise-wear, designer fragrances, porcelain collectibles -toothpaste, too, in case you forgot. There's also a fine selection of duty-free liquor available for sale during your cruise, available for your trip home and for passenger pickup on the last day the boutiques are open. For those passengers who wish to purchase liquor on board for consumption in their stateroom during the course of the cruise, a selection is listed in the stateroom information portfolio. Please ask your stateroom steward for details and they will be pleased to assist.

Group Services
For group travel, a number of onboard services is available to suit any organization. Meeting rooms and audio/visual equipment are available for conferences. Group cocktail parties and activities can be arranged to follow work sessions. Speak to your travel agent for details.

Photo Gallery
Throughout your cruise, photographers will capture special moments and make these photographs available for purchase in the shipboard gallery. For a truly special souvenir, have a professional photograph taken on formal night. Also available for purchase are frames, albums, camera accessories, batteries, film and disposable cameras. Quality film processing is available during the cruise using state-of-the-art equipment.

Art Auction Program
On most ships, you will have the opportunity to view and purchase pieces of fine art from internationally known artists via onboard auctions. Art experts are available throughout the cruise to answer your questions about the onboard art collection.

Library
Relaxing with a good book is a favorite pastime. Most ships have an extensive library, including contemporary titles in a wide range of categories and books related to specific cruise itineraries. You'll find books on art, history, sports, travel, health and wellness, natural history and reference materials. Or choose from our selection of fiction and biographies. Some have collections of up to 2,000 books as well as multimedia computers and music.

The Spa
If you've always wanted to treat yourself to a spa vacation, here's your chance. Ships facilities are some of the finest in the world and offer health and beauty centers fully equipped to pamper you from head to toe. Spas offer aromatherapy, body wraps, massage, sauna, facials and manicures for both men and women. We recommend that you set an appointment as early in the cruise as possible, because these services are very popular.

Beauty Salon
A full range of hair care and beauty salon services is available through the shipboard beauty salon. Staffed by professional stylists and therapists, the salon is open daily. It is strongly recommended that you make your appointments on embarkation day so that you may get the most convenient appointment time.

Room Service
Call for personal room service, ice, fruit or a wake-up call any time of the day or night. To have breakfast delivered to your stateroom, just fill out the breakfast card included in your stateroom portfolio (one is also placed on your pillow) and hang it out at night on your stateroom door. To take advantage of our stateroom menu, including sandwiches, salads and beverages, just call the number listed in your telephone directory.

Stateroom Safes
A private safe is usually provided for your convenience in each stateroom.

Hair Dryers
Staterooms on most ships are equipped with a 110-volt, 60-cycle alternating current (A.C.) with standard U.S. plug fittings for your convenience. Please ask your stateroom steward to check your appliances for suitability before use if you have any doubts.

State Room Amenities
The little extras you find in the best hotels - fresh fruit (by request), evening bed turndown, chocolates on the pillow, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body lotion - are available in every stateroom. For your comfort and convenience, terry cloth bathrobes are available upon request from your stateroom steward.
