Thank you for booking your cruise on ARABELLA.  The next step is packing.  You may be wondering what to bring for your vacation.  Let us assist you…

Don’t forget the essentials:

• Airline tickets (if applicable) Please contact us once you have your flight arrival and departure information!

• Extra spending $, if necessary (though most places accept credit cards)
• Travel insurance policy (if applicable)
• Prescription medication (if applicable)
• Plenty of unscented sunscreen (as not to attract bugs)
• Camera with extra film
• Bathing suit(s)

And just don’t forget:

• Hat
• Sunglasses
• Shorts & short-sleeved shirts
• Lightweight jacket or sweater
• A pair of long and short pants
• Comfortable walking shoes: for beach and land
• Raingear if desired
• We do not suggest bringing any irreplaceable jewelry—there are no safes on board.
• We provide beach towels for you, however we do have a limited amount.

***We require/strongly recommend soft duffel-type luggage as storage is at a premium, and will be stored in your own cabin.  Please bring the least amount of luggage possible!

Gratuities:

Gratuities for crewmembers are customary and appreciated.  However, this is certainly a matter of choice.  For your convenience, gratuities may be charged to your running charge account on a day-to-day basis or applied on the last sailing day.  All gratuities are divided equally among the crew and officers.  Our suggestion is 10-15% per person of your cruise rate.

Have a great time!
