Gratis internetfaciliteter er tilgængelige, og Wi-Fi er tilgængeligt overalt på skibet til dine personlige elektroniske enheder.

Du må medbringe den receptpligtige medicin, du har brug for, og vi anbefaler, at du pakker en tilstrækkelig mængde, der dækker hele din cruise- eller turets varighed. På grund af strenge narkotikalove i visse lande skal medicinen medbringes i sin originale emballage med receptetiketten tydeligt markeret. Når du rejser gennem lufthavne eller grænseovergange, anbefaler vi, at du opbevarer medicinen i dit håndbagage, klar til inspektion.
