Terms & Conditions

Your ticket is your Cruise contract. You may view a copy of the terms and conditions here or you may request a copy from the company. Carefully read the Cruise Ticket Contract as it as important information and regulations that govern your cruise. All guests must sign this contract at the time of check-in.

Check-In

Passenger check-in begins at 11:00 AM and boarding begins around 12:00 PM. Please do not arrive at the terminal prior to the specified times as the ship will not be ready to board guests.

Embarkation

The Grand Celebration / Grand Classica is scheduled to leave at 5:30 pm out of the Port of Palm Beach. Guests are required to be on-board the ship at least 90 minutes (by 4:00 pm) prior to departure.

Effective for all sailings departing from the Port of Palm Beach, the Palm Beach Port Authority has enacted a $1 per passenger Cruise Terminal Infrastructure Fee. This fee will be charged on your on board folio and paid to the Port of Palm Beach.

Disembarkation

When the ship returns to the Port of Palm Beach, please allow 1-2 hours for disembarkation as you must be cleared by customs and Immigration. For passengers departing from local airports, we recommend scheduling flights after 12:00 noon to allow sufficient time to clear customs.

Passenger Protection

You may purchase our Passenger Cancellation Protection Plan at a cost of $15 pp for one-way cruises, $20 pp for two-night cruises and $49 pp for cruise & stay packages. All persons on the reservation must select the same option. The Passengers Cancellation Protection Plan will provide the purchaser with a future credit for the amount you are penalized (less the cost of the Protection Plan. In the event that your traveling companion still sails in the stateroom then the single supplement will also be deducted from the benefit). The Plan allows you to cancel for any reason as long as we are notified immediately upon the knowledge of the cancellation and prior to the scheduled departure date. The credit will be valid up to one year from the date of your scheduled cruise.
