| Smoking Policy:
To safeguard the health of
our passengers, smoking is not allowed at any
time in any interior areas of the ship,
including the Dining Room, Observation Lounge, or
passenger cabins. Smoking is permitted only on the
outer decks. Snorkeling
Equipment: Snorkels, masks
and fins are available to passengers free of charge
on appropriate itineraries.
Special Needs:
Facilities may not be available for the disabled
traveler. If you have special needs, please contact
the Clipper home office. There is no elevator on the
ship.
Telephone Service:
A telephone, located in the Promenade
Deck passageway, is available for use both at sea
and in port, 24 hours a day, for outgoing calls.
Most major credit cards are accepted.
Tipping:
The question of tipping aboard the ship often
arises. We believe this is an individual decision.
When such gratuities are extended, the amount should
be based on the quality and manner of service. Tips
to personnel are handled at the end of the cruise on
a pooled basis. We suggest $10 per day per
passenger. Gratuities may be extended with cash,
traveler’s checks or personal checks. |
