To-day, most ships can accommodate physically challenged guests in specially designed staterooms. All baggage and property are at risk at all times. The Cruise People, Ltd . offers excellent insurance plans, which cover not only baggage, but contain provisions for cancellations due to medical or immediate family emergency, etc., on a reimbursement basis. Be sure to carry all valuables with you, and identify your luggage inside and out. Check for the baggage regulations for your specific cruise, and be aware that most suggest an overnight bag for your last night, when the steward will collect all checked baggage prior to disembarkation the following morning.
Cruise lines encourage moderation in drinking.
Many do not allow alcoholic beverages to be brought on board for consumption. Accounts are settled at the end of the voyage, usually by itemized statement. Some of the newer ships even have ATM machines. Crews are trained, knowledgeable and professional in every way. Check with the maitre'd or front desk to confirm arrangements made.
