Are you looking for a unique and unforgettable experience with your sisters? Look no further. This is an opportunity for mature, like-minded women to get together for fellowship, discovery, and creating lasting memories. This five-day cruise is jam packed with thrilling onboard activities and amenities. In addition, we will have the opportunity to line dance with the Smooth Senior Steppers, classes taught by Sheila. Also, you will get to create a one-of-a-kind canvas art at a paint party with Lisa.

 Travel Notes

Travel Documents for U.S. Citizens

We strongly suggest that you travel on a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. Click here for information to obtain your U.S. Passport. 

If you don’t have a passport, sailing from the U.S. requires a valid driver’s license or a valid Government-issued photo ID, and a certified birth certificate. 

United States Permanent Residents must have a United States Permanent Resident Card. Additionally, a passport from your home country is strongly recommended. Click here for additional information.

Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and is the responsibility of the guest. Please verify that you have the proper travel documentation BEFORE making your reservation. Reservations should be made in your full name as it appears on your travel documents.

No refunds will be given to individuals who fail to bring proper documentation.

Travel Insurance/Travel Protection

Travel insurance is highly recommended to protect your investment.  In case you have to cancel, a full refund may not be available without travel insurance. We recommend that you research and choose a policy carefully that meets your specific needs.  

Consider selecting a plan that provides coverage for Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Medical Expenses, Emergency Medical Evacuation, and more, based on your specific needs. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, we recommend purchasing travel protection at the time of the initial deposit.  

Many travel insurance plans offer medical coverage for emergency medical expenses incurred while traveling.  This is particularly important for international destinations, as standard health insurance plans sometimes won’t cover medical bills from another country. Also, be aware of the plan’s covered and non-covered reasons for cancellation.  

Carnival Cruise Lines offers a travel protection plan, called “Cruise with Confidence”. Click here to review the plan.

You will have an opportunity to add this plan later if you so desire. This plan is underwritten by Nationwide Mutual Insurance. Please contact customer service at 888-227-6482 with specific questions. There are numerous travel insurance plans available. I have listed two options below for your consideration.
