Preparing to Cruise with Luxury Cruise Holiday

You should receive a ticket pack from your cruise line or travel agent about 2 weeks before you are due to leave. If the cruise pack does not turn up by one week before, start chasing hard. This pack will contain:

• Your itinerary with flight and sailing times
• Cruise ticket with cabin number if allocated
• Vouchers for transfers to and from the ship
• Hotel and transfer voucher (if required)
• Luggage tags
• Embarkation card
• Credit card form for your onboard charge card
• Shore excursion brochure
• Ship guide with information about the facilities onboard
• Contact telephone numbers and email onboard to give to friends or family

Check these thoroughly when they arrive to ensure that it reflects what you booked and that your arrangements for getting to the port or airport are OK.

We have prepared some advice on preparing for your cruise that covers:

• Luggage - selection, weight allowances, labelling and security
• Clothes to pack - you will need more clothes for a cruise than any other type of holiday
• Medical issues - don't forget medication and E111 form
• Don't forget list - up to date passport amongst others.
