Today’s cruises filled with entertainment

From page 28

Do Lhave to participate in the ac- tivities?

On a cruise vacation passengers do what they want to do. They can do everything or nothing. Its their vacation.

Is there anything for children to to?

if children enjoy swimming, sports, deck games, movies and the adventure of seeing new and exatic places, they'll love cruising. Children adapt to shipboard life with ease, and during the summer and holidays many cruise lines of- fer supervised children’s programs.

Do you have to pay to see the entertainment?

On a cruise vacation the enter- tainment is on the house. There’s no cover, no minimum and no charge for an admission ticket. The shows are live and the movies are generally recent titles.

Will I need a tuxedo?

If you have one and feel com- fortable wearing it, bring it along. But don’t go out and buy one for the trip. For every occasion requir- ing a coat and tie, there's an acca- sion for shirt sleeves.

Can I bring an electric hair dryer ors shaver?

Certainly. Most cruise ships of- fer convenient 110-volt outlets in the staterooms.

What does ‘‘different sittings’’ for meals mean?

Some ships have one main sit- ting that accommodates all the passengers in the dining room at the same time. Most ships have two sittings which differ only as to time schedule.

Can special arrangements be made for special occasions? Absolutely. Most

cruise lines

For a birthday or anniversary, arrangements cen be made for

champagne, flowers, canapes, wine or cheese. Are there board? Every cruise ship has a fully- equipped medical facility and staff
