Hi, Is there a dress code?
Hi
I would like to book tickets for my husband and myself and our 5 year old kid.
It’s also my husbands birthday on the day we are planning to be on the cruise – so will it be possible to do anything special for him while we are seated on the cruise – like any birthday speciality, or music or something?
Thanks
Jelena.
Dear Jelena,
we have contacted you via email!
Hope we can welcome you on board!
