Insider Tips
Wi-Fi

All Drinks
A small selection of ultra-premium labels (vintage champagnes, fine Bordeaux/Burgundy, aged single-malt whiskies) are NOT included and carry a surcharge.
Port Shuttle
Shuttle availability depends on the port layout and local agreements. Not every port will have shuttle service — check the port guide in advance.
Gratuities
Spa services may carry an additional service charge. Check individual treatment pricing for details.
Room Service
The complimentary minibar includes premium selections, but specific requests outside the standard minibar list may not be available.
Specialty Dining

Booking
Shore excursions ('Destination Experiences') are NOT included in the fare despite the all-inclusive positioning. All port tours are an additional cost.
Dining
