Some foreign ports will require visas. Guests who remain in Mexico for more than 24 hours need a Mexican Tourist Card. You will be asked to present these as soon as you board the ship. Your vacation specialist will inform you about exactly which documents you will need and you will receive instructions from the cruise line prior to your departure. All information you receive from your vacation specialist and from the cruise line should be read with great care.
Cruises are casual during the daytime as are most shore excursions.
You may expect at least one formal or dressy night depending on the length of the cruise. Jeans and shorts are not allowed in the dining room in the evening but casual grills and poolside cafes have more lenient dress policies. Your vacation specialist will inform you of how formal your ship's atmosphere is and how many formal nights to expect. Dining at the captain's table or attending a captain's gala is considered a formal event. When packing for formal night, ladies should include a nice cocktail dress or evening gown.
