Most cruise lines do allow pregnant guests to sail, however there are strict medical and safety policies regarding how far along a guest may be during the cruise. Because cruise ships have limited medical facilities and no neonatal intensive care units onboard, nearly all major cruise lines restrict travel once a guest reaches a certain week of pregnancy. For the cruise lines we commonly work with: • Carnival Cruise Line does not permit guests to sail if they will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy at any point during the cruise. • Royal Caribbean does not allow guests who will be more than 23 weeks pregnant at any time during the sailing or cruisetour. • Norwegian Cruise Line allows pregnant guests to travel only if they will remain under 24 weeks pregnant for the entire trip. • Many other cruise lines have similar policies that prohibit sailing once a guest reaches the 24th week of pregnancy. Additional important information: • Some cruise lines may require a doctor’s note or medical certificate confirming the guest’s due date and fitness to travel • Guests may be denied boarding at the terminal if they exceed the cruise line’s pregnancy policy, even if they have already booked travel • Policies apply based on how far along the guest will be at any point during the cruise — not just on embarkation day • Policies can vary slightly by cruise line and itinerary, so guests should always verify current rules before booking We strongly recommend that any pregnant guest consult with both their physician and their Travel Coordinator before confirming a cruise reservation.

Alcohol policies vary by cruise line, and some cruise lines may allow limited amounts of wine or champagne while others may prohibit outside alcohol entirely. In many cases: • Hard liquor and beer are typically not permitted to be brought onboard • Some cruise lines may allow a limited quantity of unopened wine or champagne at embarkation • Alcohol purchased in ports of call or onboard shops is often held until the end of the cruise • Additional corkage fees may apply if permitted beverages are consumed in dining venues or public areas For example: • Carnival Cruise Line currently allows guests 21+ to bring one 750ml bottle of wine or champagne per person during embarkation on select sailings, but beer and liquor are prohibited. • Royal Caribbean generally allows guests to bring a limited quantity of wine or champagne at embarkation, subject to current policy restrictions. Because alcohol policies can change and may differ by cruise line, ship, or departure port, we always recommend checking with your Senior Travel Advisor to check your specific cruise line’s current guidelines prior to travel.

Here are a few things to know: • Most ships offer onboard Wi-Fi packages for internet access, messaging apps, social media, email, and browsing • Your regular cellular provider may connect to the ship’s satellite network while at sea, which can result in very high roaming charges if international or cruise coverage is not included in your plan • Many guests place their phones in Airplane Mode while onboard and use the ship’s Wi-Fi instead • Cell service is usually stronger and more affordable while the ship is docked in ports of call • Some cruise lines also offer mobile apps for onboard schedules, dining reservations, messaging, and activities We always recommend contacting your cellular provider before traveling to ask about international cruise or maritime coverage options to help avoid unexpected charges.
