Will Joshua Messick accompany us on all parts of the cruise?  
Joshua will accompany you on the cruise, available to answer questions and discuss his music.  His pre-cruise plans are not yet certain.
Are we able to stay longer in amsterdam after the cruise is completed?  
If you'd like, a post-cruise extension is entirely possible.  However, this may affect pricing for your airfare.  Please inquire further.
Is Airfare included?
Airfare is not included in cruise pricing.  Reduced group rates are available.  Please request your quote in above section.
What about travel protection?
For many reasons, travel protection is highly recommended.  Most medical insurance policies do not cover those who travel internationally; please check your policy carefully.   Also, it's important to protect your investment if you experience a delay while traveling or are forced to cancel for unforeseen reasons covered by the plan.  Ask for travel protection pricing - including coverage for pre-existing conditions - as travel insurance is not included in cruise fares.
is the ship handicap accessible?
The ship has an elevator which accesses all decks except the lower Piano Deck and the upper Sun Deck.  Please inquire further with your specific needs in mind.
How much will gratuities be for the week's cruise?
Gratuities are not included with your cruise price.  The recommended amount for your appreciation for service is $___ per person.  You may prepay these or charge them to your ship account on board.
For further answers, please call Linda at ​713-899-0130 or email her at travel@wonderfultrips.com
What if I know of someone else who would like to go on this cruise?
By all means, invite them to join us!  You will earn $50 shipboard credit for each person you refer (they must give us your name) who books and cruises with us, either on this cruise, or even another within 3 months after our sail date.
Will I need a passport or visa?
If you are a U.S. citizen, you must have a current passport (expiration date must be later than 6 months after your return date).  If you do not yet have a passport, we can help you with the process.  At this time, visas are not required for U.S. citizens.  If you are not a U.S. citizen, please inquire further about your specific situation.
