What's included in the cruise fare? β€” Your room, poor taxes, and fees are included; that's it.
Do you need a passport or visa? β€” For closed-loop cruises from US ports to the Caribbean, a birth certificate and driver's license may suffice, but a passport is recommended.
What's the dress code? β€” Usually lax, but there are dress-up nights; check the cruise line's specific rules.
How much cash should I bring? β€” Bring about $300 in small bills for tips and port purchases.
