Shore Excursions
Exploring ports of call is one of the highlights of a cruise, and one of the best ways to do this is on an organized shore excursion. Contact us to book your excursions in advance, or book early once onboard.

Tour Office
There is also a Tour Office and Shore Excursion Manager on board each ship, ready to assist you in making purchases or to answer tour-related questions.

Purser's Desk
The Purser's Desk in the ship's lobby is the place to cash travelers checks, buy stamps, mail letters, ask questions, settle your shipboard account and check Lost and Found.

Medical Facility
It's a real comfort to know that a medical staff is traveling right along with you. Ship doctors and nurses keep daily office hours and are always available for emergencies. Charges for medical services will be billed to the passenger's shipboard account.

Getting Married?
Nothing is more romantic than a wedding at sea. Some lines offer a complete wedding and honeymoon package - contact us for more details.

Religious Services
Most lines provide Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant services on the following religious holidays: Passover, Easter, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Chanukah and Christmas.

Laundry And Dry Cleaning
Take a vacation from the washing and ironing and let our professional laundry service do all the work for you. Just put everything in the capable hands of your stateroom steward who will have everything returned within 48 hours, or even the same day with our express service. Most ships offer dry-cleaning services and self-service launderettes. Ironing boards are generally not available in cabins for fire safety reasons.

Postal Service
Since U.S. stamps are acceptable for use only within the U.S., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the Purser's Desk has stamps for most ports you'll be visiting. When you want to send a "wish you were here" postcard from your favorite port of call, you can drop the card in the mailbox located at the Purser's Desk.

TV Programming
Getting away from it all doesn't mean being out of touch. Most staterooms feature a TV set featuring our multi-channel satellite, first-run films and replays of the events while you are onboard.
