Also do not forward your email automatically to the ship address. You have to pay in advance with a credit card. We don't recommend using this unless it's an emergency. The most important rule to know of ahead of time is that this is a dry ship and it operates under the zero-tolerance policy of the US government. You are not allowed to bring any alcohol or illegal drugs on board.
Tobacco is OK although smoking is only permitted in certain areas.
Baggage issues Please check into the baggage rules associated with your airline ticket and make sure your luggage is under the limits. If you are charged extra money for the weight, size, or number of bags you bring, it is your responsibility to pay the excess baggage fees. Computer files You can bring electronic documents, computer programs, etc. Please check the ship web pages and check with us for specifics of what software and hardware is available if you have any particular requirements for programs or data bases that you anticipate needing to use while on board ship.
