FIRST-TIME CRUISER FAQS
FROM FUN UP TO FUN DOWN.
First-time cruisers who are unsure about cruising might benefit from AAA Travel Agency answers to commonly- asked questions:
Do I need a passport?
If you are sailing from and returning to an American port, the most you
will need is proof of citizenship.
This can be a passport or an official copy of your birth certificate. (A driver’s license, voter’s registration card or Social Security card are not acceptable.) Passports are highly recommended. If you are sailing within a foreign country, you will need a passport and, in some cases, a visa as well. Your travel agent can advise you as to the documents you’ll need.
Do I have to worry about seasickness?
Nearly all modern ships have stabilizers, so the side-to-side roll is nearly eliminated. Dramamine is dispensed by the ship’s doctor or purser and is usually a reliable cure for seasickness. If you are prone to
seasickness, see your doctor before the cruise for other recommendations.
How do I choose a cabin?
Money is an issue when choosing a cabin. An inside cabin on the lowest deck is the least expensive and, in some cases, the most stable, particularly if it is in the center of the ship. However, some people feel claustrophobic if they don’t have windows or portholes. In that case, an outside cabin is worth the extra money.
Which cruise is best for me?
As a first-time cruiser you may want to start out with a three- or four-day cruise. By the second time around, you’ll want to move up to a seven-day cruise, and after that, the only limitations are personal time restrictions and your pocketbook.
