What to Pack

 
The first thing to remember is that you're on vacation and you are aboard one of our "Fun Ships" to have a good time. The second thing to remember is to travel light. If you keep those two things in mind, you should do just fine.

Casual attire and resort wear is the order of the day both on board and in port. Shorts, slacks, sundresses, blouses, etc., are in line for women. Clothing for men is just as casual. You should bring a pair of rubber-soled sandals or sneakers to wear on deck and a pair of good walking shoes. You might also want to consider bringing along a sweater or jacket for cool evenings and inexpensive rain gear in case of a sudden shower. Women may want to bring along a hat or scarf. You'll have a chance to dress up on two nights during 7 day or longer cruises (one night on shorter cruises) for the Captain's Cocktail Party and the Gala Farewell Dinner. On the other evenings you can dress casually for dinner (no shorts or tank tops).

For those not wanting to dress up, the Lido Restaurants are open nightly and have a casual dress code. Formal Wear: tuxedo; suit and tie; sport coat, tie and slacks; evening gown; cocktail dress; pantsuit Casual Resort Wear: sport shirts and slacks; dresses; skirts; pantsuit; Capri pants NOTE: Shorts, t-shirts, tank tops and bathing attire are not permitted in the Dining Room during dinner.


 

 

 

  

 

 

Children and Youth

Camp Carnival is a year-round, fleet wide program that provides daily fun-filled and age appropriate activities for children and teenagers between the ages of 2 and 14 years old. In addition, there is supervised "free play" and babysitting service. Scheduled activities are planned for the following age groups:  

  • Toddlers 2 - 5 years old
  • Juniors 6 - 8 years old
  • Intermediates 9 - 11 years old
  • Teens 12 - 14 years old

Camp Carnival is not a "Day-Care". The program is designed so that families are able to enjoy "quality family time" together, and yet also have the choice of being with peers of their own age, whenever desired.

 

 

 

  

 

 

Laundry

Self-Service Launderettes

Each ship has at least 2 self-service launderettes located on the stateroom decks.    

There are two or three washers and dryers, and one iron and ironing board in each launderette. The cost is $2.00 per washer load and $2.00 per dryer load. Vending machines dispense small boxes of detergent and water softener at $1.00 per box.

Note: Due to local environmental requirements, the washing machines in the guest' launderette will be closed in port, per each ports specific requirements; the dryers and irons will be available for guest use.

When should I schedule my flights?

 

It is mandatory that all cruisers arrive no later than October 14th, the day before the ship departs in Seattle, WA at the Seattle Airport. This is due to the fact that many unforeseen travel and weather occurrences could hinder your ability to arrival in a timely manner, preventing you to be able to sail with us the next day.

 
Our group hotel is the Sea-Tac Airport Marriott. Special discounted rates are available for all that register with the Alpha and Omega group by making your reservations through Sovereign Cruises.
 
When making your return flight arrangements, make sure that your flight leaves AFTER 12:00 Noon from the Seattle Airport.
