Will I Be Speaking To The Whole Ship?
No, we are only speaking amongst the 32 of us booked as a group. However, you are welcome to invite any friends you make on the cruise to come see you speak in the conference center!
What If I Can't Find My Birth Certificate?
Many people can't! If yours is lost, please contact your state's Bureau of Vital Statistics to request an official copy. Give yourself plenty of time for your new birth certificate to be processed and sent to you because it takes several weeks usually.

No, currently there are no mask requirements on the ship or at our ports of call. However, you are certainly welcome to wear one if you like at any time!

While kids are welcome, please note that they will not be able to

What If I Need a Scooter or Wheelchair?
You can rent scooters and wheelchairs and have them delivered to the ship, or you can bring your own.
Can I Cancel if I or a Family Member Get Sick?
If it's 91 days before sailing, you can get a full refund of anything you have paid. If it's after 90 days, only if you purchase travel protection.
