How to Find Us: Look for the representative holding a personalized paging board with your Primary Booker's Name clearly printed on it.

Important Port Procedure: Depending on where your cruise ship docks within the port, you may need to take the free, mandatory port shuttle bus from your ship’s gangway to the main Passenger Terminal/Exit Gate. Please take this shuttle, and we will be waiting for you right where you step off.

What We Need From You (Upon Booking):
To ensure flawless coordination, please message us with your:

Cruise Line & Ship Name (e.g., Celebrity, Oceania, Mein Schiff)

Scheduled Arrival (Docking) Time

Ship's Scheduled Departure (All-Aboard) Time
