Travelling with minors

Adults who are not the parent or legal guardian of any child travelling with them will be required to present the child’s valid passport and any applicable visas and an original, legally affirmed or notarised letter signed by at least one of the child’s parents/legal guardians.
The letter must authorise the travelling adult to take the child on the specific cruise and must authorise the travelling adult to supervise the child, sign applicable sports waivers and permit any medical treatment that must be administered to the child, which in the opinion of the treating doctor needs to be carried out without delay.
A letter can be legally affirmed or notarised by a practicing solicitor, notary or commissioner of oaths, who may charge a fee for this service. A form should be completed for this purpose and obtained from our office. If such evidence is not produced, the minor(s) concerned will not be permitted to board the ship and undertake the cruise.

General Money Matters

When you check in at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, you will receive your Sea Pass card. This is the key to your cabin and is also your charge card to use for all ship purchases once on board. Drinks, shore excursions, onboard shopping, medical centre and even charges at the casino are charged back to your cabin account via your Sea Pass card. At check in, your credit card will be swiped by the check in staff (as it would at a hotel). However, if you do not have a credit card, you will need to arrange to leave cash as a security against possible on board expenses.
You may pay in  cash but will be charged at the prevailing onboard rate. You can obtain an itemized cabin statement at any time from Guest Services. A credit card is the easiest way to pay for your on board account at the end of the cruise. You don’t even need to line up to pay for this at the end of the cruise as a copy of your account will be delivered to your cabin and your credit card will be charged automatically. If you have a disputed charge, you can check it with Guest Services.
Celebrity Cruises recommends that you do not use a debit card as your payment method. If you do wish to use a debit card, daily holds of your onboard purchases will be placed on your debit card account. Once you have settled your account at the end of the cruise, the daily amounts held can remain on your account for up to 30 days after the cruise ends. Please ensure that you have enough funds available to avoid fees from your bank.

ATMs are also available onboard. Additional charges do apply for making withdrawals from the ATM plus your banks charges.

 

Laundry

Laundry, dry-cleaning and pressing services are available onboard Silhouette. There is NO self-serve laundry. Due to ship safety regulations, you are NOT permitted to bring travel irons on-board.

Compass Daily Newsletter

Each evening in your cabin you will receive a copy of COMPASS, your official guide to what is happening on board Celebrity Silhouette for the following day. Please take the time to read this each day as it will contain vital information on all BRAVO events as well as other on board activities.

Internet

Information on pre-paid packages are available in detail on-board including wireless capabilities.

Adaptors

Duty Free Shopping on board

There is excellent duty free shopping on board, however please note standard Customs regulations apply to alcohol & tobacco purchases. When these items are purchased, they will be stored on the ship for you and delivered to your stateroom on the last night. Duty free items cannot be consumed onboard. All duty free shopping is charged to your Sea Pass card.

Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance is strongly recommended. If you haven’t already taken this out, your travel agent will be able to assist.

Entertainment

CRUISE N GROOVE has arranged for both International artists plus the cream of Australian stars for you to enjoy whilst on board Radiance of the Seas. The actual times for each performance will appear in your daily Compass newsletter, delivered to your stateroom each evening and highlighting the following day’s activities. To allow all passengers a chance to see each performance, once on board you will receive a coloured ticket which allows you entry to see each of the main headliner acts appearing in the Aurora Theatre.
The seating times for these performances are related to your dining times.

Cruise Itinerary

You will visit 2 ports of call – Mare & Noumea (New Caledonia). The ship may change course at any time without notice if their intended course could in any way endanger passengers.

Shore Excursions

Shore excursions will be offered and can be booked on board at the Explorations Desk once on board.

Disembarkation Procedures

Full disembarkation instructions will be placed in your cabin by staff on the last day at sea. You will be given a colour coded ship identity tag to place on your bags and suitcases and be asked to place your packed suitcase outside your cabin door on the last evening. You will therefore need to keep essential items in your hand luggage (toiletries, clothes) for the following morning, as well as your passports and any documentation required for disembarkation. Disembarkation is staggered and will usually commence an hour or so after the ship docks.
