Welcome to the Cruise

You Hit Submit. Good. Don’t Stop Now. 🛳️

Your form is in. I got you. But before you go celebrate like you’re already on the ship — read this page. All of it. Yes, all of it.

What Happens Next

Step 1 — Go Check Your Email

📧 Within a few hours, your personalized quote will be sitting in your inbox. Can’t find it? Before you ask me where it is — check your spam folder or search “JaQuay” in your email search bar. I sent it. I promise.

Step 2 — Read Your Quote

✅ Not skim. READ. Check your cabin type, dates, guest info, and protection plan. Every detail. If something is wrong, now is the time to say something. Not later. Now. Reply “I Am Ready!” I will send an authorization form.

Step 3 — Authorize That Deposit

💳 See the deposit amount on your quote? Click. Authorize. Done. That’s the only thing between you and a confirmed cabin. I’ll handle everything else — that’s literally my job.

⚠️ Your cabin is not real until that deposit is authorized. I don’t hold spots on vibes. Cabins go fast and I will not be held responsible for you waiting too long. 😌

Let’s Talk Documents 📄

Because Showing Up Wrong Is Not the Vibe

Here’s the thing about cruises — a passport is NOT required. But let me explain why you might want one anyway before you get too excited.

Do You NEED a Passport? No. Should You Have One? Honestly… Yes.

A passport is not required to board your cruise. BUT — and this is a big but —

✅ Shorter check-in lines — passport holders move faster at the port. Just saying.
🚨 Emergency situations — if something happens while the ship is docked in another country and you need to fly home, a birth certificate won’t get you on that international flight. A passport will. Think about it.

It’s not mandatory. It IS smart. I’m just the messenger. 😌

What IS Required to Board — No Exceptions 🪪

Don’t show up to that port without these two things or you will be watching the ship leave without you. I am not being dramatic.

Original Birth Certificate — not a copy, not a photo on your phone. The real one. If yours is old, damaged, or missing — order a new one from Vital Statistics in your state. Do it now. Not the week before the trip. Now.
Valid State-Issued ID — driver’s license or state ID. It must be current. Expired IDs will not work. Check the expiration date on yours today.

Both. You need both. One without the other won’t get you on that ship.

What’s Included On the Ship 🍽️

No need to stress about going broke at the buffet. Here’s what’s covered once you’re aboard:

🍳 All main meals — breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night snacks. The food is included and there is a lot of it. Pace yourself. (Some restaurants are extra)
🥤 Non-alcoholic drinks — water, lemonade, iced tea, juices, coffee, hot tea. Covered.

What’s NOT included:

🍹 Alcoholic beverages — those are extra. Drink packages are available and can be added to your booking. Ask me about it!
🥤 Specialty coffees and premium drinks — also extra.
🍽️ Specialty dining restaurants — some ships have upcharge restaurants outside of the main dining room.
Softdrinks

Bottom line — you will not go hungry or thirsty on this ship. But if you want the fancy stuff, budget accordingly. 😂
