sodas, alcoholic beverages, shore excursions/tours, insurance, optional on-board services,

*DOUBLE OCCUPANCY PRICING EXPLAINED
Cabin pricing is typically quoted per person/double occupancy meaning the price calculation per person is based on two people occupying the cabin.
Example: If you were to stay at a hotel and the price was $150 per night for the room ... you would pay $150 while if there were two people staying in the room, the cost would be split between the 2 people and the cost would be $75 to each person ($150 /2 people = $75 per person). You can occupy a cabin as a single person (single occupancy) however your cost will be double (less the 2nd set of tax and port charges) as you will be paying for the entire cabin yourself.

What to expect on our 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. The emphasis of our group is on enjoying a relaxed and fun cruise vacation with friends and family with dancing as a bonus!

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 group focus is to experience the cruise and our fabulous destinations with dancing as a bonus! Our on board classes 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 our "Dance Survey" that is distributed prior to sailing (dances receiving the most votes in the past have been west coast swing and night club two-step with cha cha, country two-step, waltz, salsa, rumba and others also getting votes). 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 open ship lounges. Remember, it is your vacation and it is your choice to do as much or as little as you wish! Our actual group schedule is finalized by the ship just prior to sailing and the schedule is subject to change.

Activities & Entertainment
There are many activity and entertainment choices available onboard the ship. You can dance to the live bands in the lounges, 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!
