of the seas. If you do RC make sure you get to stop at cococay. I’d use a travel agent, it doesn’t really cost you anything more and they can get you a food deal and take care of everything. We used a travel agent both times.

I don’t think you have to have a passport as long as you leave and return to

Agreed. But our kids loved RC. The kids clubs and activities were fun for them

If you hold 100+ shares of Norwegian they’ll give you ship credit depend on cruise length

Don’t do Carnival with no kids. Yes for passport.

It was mine as well until we did Norway - 4 days above the Arctic Circle.

I like cruises but it’s an awful way to see places. You won’t see Jamaica, you’ll see some crappy port town

RC and Carnival have both purchased islands

Use a travel agent. They are usually a little cheaper.

What’s the advantage of booking directly with the cruise line?
