What to expect on a Sea Magic Cruise ...

Get ready for a fun vacation and dance experience!
Start planning now for a fun-filled vacation of cruising & dancing with friends as the Sea Magic Dance Cruises are a Total Dance Vacation Experience. Your group cruise price includes the standard cruise amenities of onboard gourmet meals, outstanding service, a wide variety of entertainment & activities "plus" dance classes, group parties and social dancing for our group only - must be booked with our group (Sea Magic via Paradise Travel Service) to participate. (class & dance schedule to follow) The emphasis of our group is on enjoying a relaxed and fun vacation while also dancing, and being with friends!

Our Sea Magic cruise format is very "relaxed" where the days are yours to go ashore and explore the ports of call or simply remain onboard and enjoy the ship. This cruise is not just for dancers - we welcome and encourage friends and family to join our fun group as we dine together, gather for group parties and experience a wonderful cruise vacation. Our on board classes, mainly taught by Michelle Kinkaid, will be presented as the ship schedule and space allows ... typically on the days at sea. The actual dances taught will be decided by those that are sailing on this voyage via the "Dance Survey" that is distributed prior to sailing (dances in the past have been west coast swing, night club two step, latin & ballroom). We will have special gatherings, parties, and dances for “our group only” in addition to the general pre-dinner and after-dinner dancing available in the lounges. It is your choice to do as much or as little as you wish. It is your vacation! Our actual group schedule is finalized by the ship closer to sailing. Schedule is subject to change.

Our group evening dining is the Traditional-2nd seating @ approx 8:15pm. Dining options are on a first come, first booked basis so register early to get your preference. You may also choose other dining options outside the group such as: Traditional 1st Seating (space permitting), the Anytime Dining Room (walk in basis from 5:30-9:30pm, there may be a waiting list just like in a restaurant), casual dining in the Horizon Court Buffet, Poolside Grill, Poolside Princess Pizzaria and 24-hr room service. There are also two "Specialty" Restaurants available: The Bayou Cafe & Steakhouse and Sabatini's which charge an additional fee and require reservations.

There are many activity and entertainment choices available onboard the ship. You can dance to one of the live bands, see a variety of shows, relax in a lounge, stroll on the deck, see a movie, read a book or enjoy the many other options the ship has to offer. Reminder: This cruise is not just for dancers -- so, go ahead and bring your family and friends along as there is something for everyone on a cruise!

BOARDING/DISEMBARKING THE SHIP
You may board the ship after 1pm on embarkation day.
Disembarkation typically takes place between 7am-9:30am
Return home flights should be booked after 12pm (noon).

AIR ARRANGEMENTS
You can make your own air arrangements or purchase round trip airfare along with your cruise from the Cruise Line.
Cruise Departure City: Vancouver, Canada (YVR)
Cruise Ending City: Anchorage, AK (ANC)

1. Your Own Air
If you are making airline reservations on your own, give yourself plenty of time to get to and from the ship. I NEVER recommend booking your air fights on the same day as the ship sails as it is too risky. Travel delays and flight cancellations are always a possibility and have happened to some of our group members in the past. If you are travelling from a different time zone or great distance, you will definitely want to arrive a day or so early to allow for any unexpected travel delays and travel fatigue. You will want to be fresh so that you can fully enjoy your cruise vacation.

In general you should book your return flight departure time AFTER 12:30pm.
Ships generally disembark in the morning however it takes several hours to complete
the process, go through customs and travel to the airport.

Domestic flights typically require at least a 1-hour airport check-in time prior to your departing flight.
International flights typically require at least a 2-hour airport checkin time prior to your departing flight.

Plan your time carefully and please don't miss the boat!

2. Cruise Line Booked Air**
You can purchase round-trip airfare along with your cruise from the Cruise Line. Travel dates, times and air carrier are selected by the Cruise Line. An additional customization fee will be assesed for customized air reservations as well as any differences in flight price.
**Please be aware that there are some restrictions on Cruise Booked Air.


PRE/POST CRUISE TOURS & HOTEL
Arriving to the cruise departure city a day or so early is recommended to ensure being on time to board the ship and being settled from any time zone changes that might be present. Arriving early would also require booking a pre-cruise hotel stay. The same would be true for post-cruise tour and hotels.

Pre/Post Hotel
1. Pre-Cruise Group Hotel (booked w/Michelle)
Please contact Michelle if you wish to stay with our Sea Magic group at our
designated hotels (space is limited).

- Vancouver Hotel ... Rate $139
- Anchorage Hotel ... Rate $159

2. Pre/Post-Cruise Hotel Packages (available from Princess)
Princess offers pre and post-cruise hotel packages in association with your cruise booking. These packages include ground transfers from the airport to your hotel on the day of your reservation and transfers from the hotel to the ship on day of embarkation. All pricing is per person/double occupancy (2 people in a room) + tax and are subject to availability.



TRAVEL INSURANCE I highly recommend having some form of travel insurance.
1. PRINCESS Vacation Protection Insurance
This plan covers a variety of items. This insurance can be purchased anytime from the time of your deposit until final payment. Coverage begins only upon payment and some exclusions apply.

Princess Cruise Vacation Protection Plan
We strongly recommend the purchase of a vacation protection program. For your convenience, the cruise lines offers a Vacation Protection plan. These plans provide what is perhaps the most attractive combination of protection and flexibility available in cruising today covering a variety of items.

Vacation Protection includes Trip Cancellation and Interruption Protection, which provides up to full reimbursement for the otherwise non-refundable cancellation fees if you must cancel or curtail your trip due to eligible medical conditions or other specified causes affecting you, your immediate family members or your traveling companions.

Princess Travel Protection Insurance Cost:
-Standard Care is 8% of Base Cruise Fare
-Platinum Care is 12% of Base Cruise Fare
Example: Inside Cabin (category BE)
... Base Cabin Rate of $829pp >>> Standard Insurance @ 8% = $66.32pp

Special note: Cruise Vacation Protection must be purchased before or at time of final payment.

See the cruise line website for their complete details.

2. Travel Insurance is available from other companies as well. Some options are:
- Travel Guard
- Insure My Trip.com

TIPS & GRATUITIES: (on board the ship)
For your convenience, Most cruise lines will automatically add gratuities for your restaurant and stateroom services to your onboard account on a daily basis in the following amounts, which may be adjusted at your discretion: $10-15 per person per day. These service gratuities are the recommended amounts and may be adjusted at your discretion onboard at the Purser's Desk. Envelopes are also typically available for you to personally deliver the gratuities to dining and stateroom personnel. (subject to change)

CLOTHING/DRESS CODE Descriptions
You should dress for cruising the same way you would for a land based resort. Daywear suggestions include casual sportswear, jogging suits, pants, sweaters, windbreaker/jacket both on board and ashore. Keep in mind that the weather at sea can be unpredictable. You may want to bring a hat, jacket and sweater as well as swim suit, shorts, visor and sunglasses.

Evening - The Cruise Line dress code categories refer to the classification of attire requested for that particular evening.
The ship asks that all passengers follow the suggested attire while in the public areas.
1. Casual - pant, slacks, skirts, blouses, sweaters for women; pants, sport shirts/open neck shirts and sweaters for men
2. Formal - cocktail dresses, evening gowns, or dressy pant suit for women; sport jacket & slacks, suit or tuxedo for men

Daytime - During the day there is no specified dress code, however there are some attire restrictions.
Swim suits, cut off T-shirts, halter tops, and torn jeans are not permitted in the main dining rooms.
While swim suits are appropriate attire for the pool and spa areas, coverups are requested for other areas of the ship.
