Q   Are there luggage restrictions?

A   Guests are encouraged to limit their checked luggage to two suitcases per person, with each suitcase not to weigh more than 50 pounds and not exceed 16"H x 24"W x 30"L.

Q   Are passports required?

A   Guests are required to provide proper travel documentation in order to travel. Passports are required for those sailings that originate and/or return outside of the U.S. The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens who are sailing from and returning to a U.S. port.  An original birth certificate or certified copy with a state issued ID (drivers license) is acceptable for sailings that depart and return from/to a U.S. port.  Non-U.S Citizens must contact the appropriate Consulates, U.S. Embassy and U.S. Immigration office to inquire about necessary travel documentation. Anchors Away Cruise & Vacation Center assumes no responsibility for advising guests of Immigration requirements.   It is recommended that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. This will enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests that must disembark the ship before their cruise ends due to an emergency to fly back to the U.S without significant delays and complications. It is also recommended that all guests travel with a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond completion of travel.

Q   Is internet service available on ship?

A   To keep you connected while at sea, most ships provide satellite Internet access facilitated through an Internet Café and through the ship-wide WiFi network.  Internet Cafés are generally open 24-hours, the Internet Café features private terminals where you have the ability to surf the Web, chat online and access your private e-mail account (Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Juno, Yahoo, etc.) For your convenience, the Internet Café Manager is available for assistance during posted hours.  Internet Café terminals run on Windows XP and are limited to Internet communication. The terminals are not equipped with Microsoft Office (WORD, EXCEL, etc), however, most files can be accessed as “read only” for viewing purposes but cannot be edited or saved. Please note, on your personal laptop you can read, edit and save files without restrictions according to the programs installed. 

Got a laptop, an iPad or a netbook? Got 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless capability (relax, that's just geek speak for WiFi)? The Wireless Internet Service is compatible with a Wireless 802.11b card, which is the industry standard. You may use your personal laptop while onboard, your iPhone and all other WiFi equipped devices and most software installed on them without restrictions. VPN access on the other hand is restricted to connections of the type, which are not IPSec or PPTP connections. Discuss your VPN limitations with your company’s IT department if you are planning to work while sailing. We are not able to change your settings onboard.
