    TODAY, Cruise Weeklys guest expert, Adam

    Armstrong from Royal Caribbean answers

    some of your cruising-related queries.

    If you have a queson youd like answered,

    send it to [email protected] and

    some of Adams responses will be exclusively

    published in CWover the next three weeks.Will there be a coke freestyle machine on

    Rhapsody of the Seas by the end of the year?

    We are currently rolling out Coke Freestyle

    machines on six of our ships based in Florida

    and New Jersey, USA (Majesty, Explorer,

    Freedom, Oasis, Allure and Enchantment of

    the Seas). Unfortunately we dont currently

    have plans to add the machines onboard

    our ships in Australia - but well certainly be

    monitoring how they perform.

    With the new gratuies policy, are we

    able to remove the gratuies and pay sta

    individually in cash at the end of the cruise?In a word - yes. We oer three ways of

    paying gratuies. Firstly, many of our guests

    pre-pay them when they book their cruise -

    its a convenient and stress-free way to do it

    and we ensure that all gratuies are shared

    amongst the great crew members onboard

    Secondly, you can pay for them with your

    onboard account. We recommend a daily

    amount per guest - and you can adjust the

    amount as you wish. Finally, if you prefer,

    you can request to have all charges removed

    from your onboard account and pay your

    waiters and cabin aendant in cash. Thechoice is yours.

    I am taking a Royal Caribbean cruise in

    March. I have been told you may bring

    two 750ml boles of wine or champagne

    onboard with you on embarkaon day

    and this should be packed in your carry-on

    luggage, but can only consumed in your

    cabin. Is this informaon true?

    Yes, thats right - weve just changed our

    policy and you are allowed to bring personal

    wine or champagne onboard on embarkaon.

    You can consume them in a public area,

    subject to a corkage fee of US$25.00 perbole. Any addional boles of wine or any

    alcoholic beverages purchased in ports-of-

    call or from shops on board will be stored by

    the ship and delivered to your stateroom on

    the last day of the cruise.

    Couple overboard a wake-up callThe two Carnival Spirit

    passengers lost at sea were

    not the rst Australians to go

    overboard.ThE tragedy of the young couple who went

    overboard while cruising near NSW last week

    has highlighted the importance of safety and

    ecurity on cruise ships in local waters.

    Although the majority of man overboard

    ncidents involve Americans in the US, Mexico,Bahamas and Caribbean, there have been

    everal other cases in the South Pacic.

    According to Ann Sherry, two passengers

    have previously disappeared overboard from

    ruise ships in the region in the six years that

    he has been CEO of Carnival Australia.

    In 2005, a man also died aer jumping from

    P&Os Pacic Skysailing near Caloundra,

    Queensland.

    On two other South Pacic cruises,

    passengers who jumped were rescued.

    Last year, a man was also saved aer jumping

    rom Carnival Spiriton the way to Hawaii,according to a report by NBC in the US.

    A spokesperson for Carnival Cruise Lines said

    ast weeks shocking incident was the rst such

    ase for the Spiritin Australia.

    The safety and security of our guests and

    rew is the number one priority at Carnival

    Cruise Lines, CCL Australias director, Jennifer

    Vandekreeke, told Cruise Weekly.

    All of our ships meet or exceed Internaonal

    Marime standards, parcularly with regards

    to items crical to guest safety such as balcony

    railings.

    The Spirithas more than 20 security sta,

    although only four people are monitoring the

    600 CCTV cameras, Sherry told the media last

    week.

    In mandatory safety briengs, passengers are

    also urged to immediately report to crew any

    cases of people falling or jumping overboard.Only a few hours before the young couple

    were discovered to be missing last week, CCL

    had announced the deployment of a second

    ship to Sydney.

    Carnival Legendis now scheduled to join

    Spiritnext year for a series of cruises to New

    Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji, commencing 24

    September 2014.

    The 2,124-passenger ship will be withdrawn

    from Europe, along with Carnival Sunshine (to

    be based in New Orleans), leaving no Carnival

    ships in Europe in 2014.

    The company revealed last week that it waspulling out of the European market due to

    US clients reluctance to pay for expensive

    transatlanc ights.

    No further details have since been disclosed

    about local plans for Carnival Legend.

    Hapag-Lloyd takes the wraps o the new Europa 2AT 225.3 metres in length and 42,830 tonnes, she is far from the longest and

    a long way o the largest cruise ship operang in European waters, however it

    s the inside of Hapag-Lloyds new MS Europa 2 that gets the tongues wagging.

    Ocially christened in a ceremony in the German port of Hamburg late

    ast week, Europa 2 launches another salvo in the never ending bale for

    upremacy in the onboard luxury stakes.

    In all, 251 suites are divided up by categories ranging from Owners Suites

    down to Verandah Suites - thats right, every single cabin has a private balcony

    with expansive ocean views.

    The vessel will be operang mostly 7-14 day cruises in the east and westMediterranean before heading for the Arabian Peninsula and into Asia towards

    he end of this year and early next.

    Aer its Hamburg christening last Friday, Europa 2 is currently operang its

    maiden voyage, which departed from the German city on Saturday, bound for

    Lisbon in Portugal, via Amsterdam, Belgium, France and Spain before heading

    around the western

    coast of Portugal and arriving in Lisbon on Saturday 25 May, with journeys between ports

    clearly labelled as Relaxaon at Sea, highlighng the serene nature observed onboard.

    State of the art technology has been installed around a stylish interior, with the

    company claiming that cruise rituals take a back seat to lifestyle and an informal onboard

    standard, with marime tradions such as the Captains Dinner done away with.

    Individual wellness and tness opons & variaons in entertainment to suit all tastes

    are among the highlights of the new company agship, which also boasts a wide varietyof culinary oerings across eight restaurants and six bars to keep fussy diners sased.

    Crew numbers easily surpass one for every two passengers, ensuring high standards of

    aenveness and service are maintained throughout the voyage.

    IMAGINE this...youre on a cruise ship in

    the middle of the ocean, surrounded le

    and right...by lawyers.

    Well, unless youre also a lawyer, you need

    not worry as you wont be there, but the

    worlds largest law rm - in terms of revenue

    and the number of lawyers on the books -

    DLA Piper - will soon create exactly that.The company has chartered Royal

    Caribbeans Liberty of the Seas for a private

    sailing from Barcelona to Nice for its four-

    night partner excursion later this month.

    It is expected to cost the company

    US$3.1m, not including alcohol, but DLA

    Piper said the prospect was much more

    appealing than hunkering down in a

    Marrio conference room for the weekend.

    Meengs, focus groups and social events

    will be held over the duraon of the cruise,

    which is also aimed at building business

    relaonships.

    Grandeurto base in Maryland

    ROYAL Caribbean Internaonal has deployedits newly revitalised Grandeur of the Seas liner

    to again be based in Balmore, Maryland.

    Following a top-to-toe renovaon and

    upgrade, Grandeurwill resume operang 6-10

    night Bermuda & Bahamas cruises from the

    east-coast port, replacing Enchantment of the

    Seas, who lled the gap in the interim.

    Grandeur of the Seas was based in Balmore

    from 2004 to 2009 before its upgrade.

    River cruises remain popularAVALON Waterways managing director

    Patrick Clark had echoed comments by Viking

    hairman Torstein Hagen earlier this year,

    aying the boom currently being enjoyed by

    iver cruising is showing no signs of slowing.

    The enre river cruise market to Europe

    s 500,000 people (a year) as opposed to 15

    million taking ocean cruises, and there is a

    high level of interest from that 15 million in

    iver cruises, Clark told USA Today last week.

    Clark said at last weeks christening of

    Avalon Expression (CWThu), that the market

    had plenty of room to grow, was capable of

    ustaining more ships and added that markets

    uch as Australia, USA and Canada had more

    han 100m that t key demographics.
