What’s included in my cruise fare?

Most cruise fares cover your accommodations, main dining room meals, buffet access, basic beverages like water and tea, and a wealth of onboard entertainment from broadway-style shows to deck parties. However, things like specialty dining, alcoholic drinks, shore excursions, and gratuities are typically extra. At Here We Go Vacations, we help you parse through the fine print to understand exactly what your specific cruise line includes, so there are no surprises when you step on board. We can even find all-inclusive packages that bundle these extras for a stress-free experience. Remember that every cruise line is unique, and what is standard on one brand might be a premium add-on on another. We ensure you have the full picture before you book.

What if I get motion sickness?

Modern cruise ships are engineering marvels equipped with sophisticated stabilizers that minimize movement, making the ride incredibly smooth. Most passengers don't feel much motion at all, especially on the larger ships designed for families. If you're particularly sensitive, Here We Go Vacations can help you choose a cabin in the middle of the ship on a lower deck, where motion is felt the least. We also recommend packing over-the-counter remedies or using sea-bands just in case, though the onboard medical centers are always ready to assist. The routes chosen by captains are also designed to avoid choppy waters whenever possible, prioritizing guest comfort throughout the entire voyage.

How do dining and drink packages work?

You’ll find a variety of dining options, from complimentary casual spots to premium specialty restaurants that require a small cover charge. Drink packages allow you to pay one flat daily fee for unlimited sodas, specialty coffees, or alcoholic beverages, which can be a great way to manage your budget. We often suggest looking at these packages before you sail, as they are usually cheaper when purchased in advance. Here We Go Vacations can compare the different tiers of packages available on your cruise line to see if they make financial sense for your group's habits. If you enjoy a few cocktails by the pool or a specialty latte every morning, these packages often pay for themselves within the first few days of the trip.

What is the dress code on board?

During the day, the vibe is casual—think swimwear (with cover-ups), shorts, and t-shirts. In the evenings, most ships transition to 'resort casual,' which means nice jeans, slacks, or sundresses. many cruises still host one or two optional 'formal nights' for those who love to dress up for photos. You don't need a tuxedo unless you really want one! We’ll let you know exactly what the 'Theme Nights' or formal requirements are for your specific voyage so you can pack efficiently and feel comfortable throughout your trip. The most important thing to pack is a pair of comfortable walking shoes for exploring port cities and a light jacket for the evening breeze on deck.

Cruise FAQs

How does cruise pricing work?

Cruise pricing is generally based on double occupancy, meaning the rate you see is per person for two people sharing a cabin. Prices fluctuate based on the time of year, how far in advance you book, and the type of cabin you choose—ranging from cozy interior rooms to expansive suites with private balconies. Our team at Here We Go Vacations monitors deals and seasonal promotions to ensure you get the best value for your budget. We take the guesswork out of 'hidden fees' by providing a clear breakdown of port taxes and fees upfront so there are no surprises. Booking early is usually the best strategy for snagging the best cabins and rates, especially for high-demand itineraries like Alaska or the Mediterranean.

Do I need a passport to go on a cruise?

For most international sailings, a valid passport is required and highly recommended for all travelers. While some 'closed-loop' cruises (starting and ending at the same U.S. port) may allow a birth certificate and government photo ID, having a passport ensures you can fly home from a foreign port in case of an emergency. Passports can take time to process, so we always advise our clients to check their expiration dates early. Here We Go Vacations provides a checklist of necessary travel documents for your specific itinerary so you can sail with total peace of mind. Rules can vary significantly for different destinations like Europe or the Galapagos, so we double-check the latest requirements for every trip we plan.

Are there separate spaces for kids and adults?

Absolutely! Cruises are designed to give everyone their own version of paradise. Kids clubs offered by lines like Disney or Royal Caribbean provide supervised, age-appropriate fun for toddlers through teens, while adults can enjoy 'hidden' sanctuaries like quiet sun decks, spas, and specialty bars. It’s the perfect balance of family time and 'me' time. Here We Go Vacations specializes in matching families with the ships that have the best-rated kids programs and the most relaxing adult-only retreats to satisfy everyone in your party. While the kids are participating in a science experiment or scavenger hunt, the adults can enjoy a quiet dinner or a professional Broadway-style show.

How safe is it to go on a cruise?

Cruise ships are among the safest forms of travel, governed by strict international maritime laws. Before every ship leaves the port, all passengers must participate in a 'muster drill' to learn safety procedures and where to go in the rare event of an emergency. Onboard security and medical staff are available 24/7 to ensure the well-being of all guests. At Here We Go Vacations, we only partner with reputable cruise lines that prioritize guest safety and health above all else, ensuring your family's vacation is as secure as it is fun. The crew members undergo rigorous training and regular drills to handle complex situations, so you can focus entirely on enjoying your cruise.
