AIRFARES TO/FROM STOCKHOLM

Royal Caribbean does not offer special airfares in conjunction with their cruise from Stockholm as they did for our cruise last year. As a result we contacted a Consolidator located in New York. Airfares vary considerably depending on the dates and times of travel and the airline, but in some cases the airfares are under $1,300.00 on airlines such as Fin Air. There are few flights departing from Stockholm for the U.S. after 12:00 PM. Therefore, you may save as much as $400.00-$500.00 per ticket by spending the night after the cruise in Stockholm and flying home the following morning.

One of the advantages this year is that you will have the following number, can select any airline you wish in any class of service you wish and are able to confirm immediately rather than wait several days for a reply from Royal Caribbean. You should always shop, but we are confident that you will find this to be one of your best options. When booking online, you have no one to speak with to offer options and explain the applicable rules and restrictions that apply to each fare. Therefore, prior to purchasing your airline tickets, we recommend that you contact:

Jack Stepanian, Sales Manager
Downtown Travel
Phone: 212-481 1800 ext. 254
Email: jack@downtowntravel.com

TO REQUEST AIR Rates from Jack complete the following:

Provide your Originating Airport
Provide your desired Departure date from your city of Origin
Provide your desired Return date from Stockholm

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

After selecting your stateroom category and completing your request, you will be unable to submit your request until you have read understand and agree to the terms and conditions outlined when clicking on the last box. Failure to comply may result in denied boarding by Royal Caribbean and/or the Department of Homeland Security. This box below must be checked in order to move forward.

BEFORE YOU BOOK!

Reviewing the following very important points is necessary to ensure the enjoyment of your cruise experience. You will be unable to continue until you have done so.

1. DOCUMENTATION FOR BOTH U.S. AND NON - U.S. CITIZENS

It is the responsibility of all Non - U.S. Citizens to check with their consulate to determine what documentation is required for them to cruise on the itinerary in question. Because these requirements vary by Country and can change at any time, neither we nor the cruise line will assume any responsibility for advising passengers what is required for foreign nationals. Requirements for U.S. Citizens will also change. We will do our best to assist, but cannot be held responsible for passengers who are denied boarding because they are unable to provide the required documentation at the port of embarkation. We often work with www.passports.com 1-800-860-8610, but are not endorsing them. We recommend that any and all participants are made aware that they alone are responsible for having the proper identification. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has mandated that cruise lines must transmit their departure manifests no later than 60 minutes prior to departure from the U.S. To comply, passenger information must be processes at least 90 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time. Therefore, passengers must provide complete and accurate immigration details in advance of the embarkation date. This can be done online up to six days prior to sailing. The e-ticket boarding pass will serve as a receipt at check-in. Passenger who have not provided the required details in advance MUST be checked-in no later than 90 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time or they will be denied boarding.

2. PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP

Participant(s) are required to abide by the US State Department and Department of Homeland Security regulations regarding proof of citizenship. Effective June 1, 2009, all individuals traveling by sea to the Bahamas and/or the Caribbean and/or Mexico may be required to have a valid passport. Everyone (from new babies and up) will be required to have a passport when leaving and returning to the U.S. The proposed passport regulations might later set a minimum age. The U.S. Government will set a date at least 60 days prior to the date; however, because of processing time, we encourage all passengers to apply at least three months prior to departure. A lack of the proper identification will lead to denied entry to the cruise ship, and no refunds will be made.

The United States government has mandated that all passengers should pre-register for their cruise by logging on to the cruise line's website AT LEAST 3 days prior to departure. For those guests that do not pre-register online, they MUST check in at the pier on embarkation day AT LEAST two hours prior to departure. Guests that do not check in with the proper proof of identification using the above guidelines will not be permitted to cruise; no exceptions will be made.

3. MEDICAL POLICIES & AGE RESTRICTIONS REGARDING CRUISING

Guests with medical impairments that require the use of dialysis or oxygen should contact us to discuss policies and procedures for bringing the appropriate equipment onboard. For expecting mothers, Royal Caribbean requires a "Fit to Travel" certificate from the woman's doctor in order to board the ship. Royal Caribbean's specific policies regarding pregnancy and age restrictions are as follows:

A. Minors - Any Guest under the age of 18 shall be considered a minor and must travel with a parent or Legal Guardian or such other person as may be permitted by Carrier's policies. No Guest under the age of 21 will consume any alcoholic beverages while on board the Vessel or Transport except as may be permitted by Carrier's policy. No Guest under the age of twenty-one (21) will be booked in a stateroom unless accompanied by an adult twenty one (21) years of age or older, except for minors sailing with their parents or guardians in adjacent staterooms, or for under-aged married couples (proof of marriage is required). Carrier reserves the right to request proof of age at any time and Passenger's age on the date of sailing determines his or her status for the entire cruise vacation.

B. Pregnancy and Infants - Any Passenger who will enter the 24th week of pregnancy by the beginning of, or at any time during their cruise, agrees not to book the cruise or board the Vessel or Transport under any circumstances. No infants under a specific age (at least six (6) months for most cruises but twelve (12) months for other cruises) shall be booked on a cruise, nor brought onboard the Vessel or Transport by any Passenger under any circumstances.

NMDA and Helms Briscoe Inc. cannot be held responsible for passengers who may be denied boarding by the cruise line because they failed to comply with the specified cruise line's requirements related to pregnancy and minimum age. If you have another type of medical condition that has not been mentioned, please inquire about policies and procedures that may affect your cruise.
