Soulful Golf Cruise

1. After I have paid for my cruise and airfare, what other costs will I incur on this trip:

A. Ship Gratuity- all guests (including children) are expected to pay a shipboard gratuity in the amount of $10.00 per person per day (total $70.00). This amount cover the tips for your cabin steward, your dining room waiter and assistant waiter for the entire cruise. You can choose to pre-pay your gratuity or pay once you board the ship.

B. Golf Gratuity- our group will have the exclusive services of a Carnival golf professional.  A gratuity for our golf professional is customary but not included in the gratuity you will pay on the ship.

C. Alcoholic drinks and soda- neither of these items are free on the cruise ship. Beverages that are free include, orange, apple, and fruit juice at breakfast and iced tea and lemonade at lunch and dinner

D. Tours and excursions- activities off of the ship are not free. You can purchase tours and excursion on the ship, or after docking with vendors off the ship. If you play 5 rounds of golf, you will have little time, if any, for other off-ship activities.

2. What if I have special physical or dietary needs? Please contact your travel professional, Terri Moore at 443-791-1953 immediately if you have specials needs.

3. What will be the golf format? Golfers will be assigned a tee time.

4. I have selected the cruise package with 3 rounds of golf. How do I select the courses I want to play? After reviewing the course descriptions, notify Terri Moore by e-mail or phone to select the 3 courses you want to play.

5. If I have selected the cruise package with 3 rounds of golf, will I be able to play additional courses? Yes- you will be billed for the additional cost.

6. If I have selected the cruise package with 5 rounds of golf, will I be able to play fewer courses? You will be allowed to cancel up to 2 courses with a refund. Refunds will not be issued if you play less than 3 courses (some exceptions apply). Your intent to cancel must be made known prior to the day of play

7. How do I get from the ship to the golf courses? Roundtrip transportation from the ship to the courses is included in your cruise rate.

8. What if I don’t have or don’t want to carry my golf clubs? Golf club and golf shoe rental is available. Please notify Far Moore Travel if you need to rent equipment.

9. Since airlines are now charging for checked baggage, will I have to pay to check my golf clubs? Your golf clubs count as a piece of checked baggage on the flight. Please check with your airline to find out the checked baggage policy.

10. After I finish a course, will I have time to do other things such as take a tour or go shopping? The golf outing will take up most of the time that we will have in each port, There may be a short amount of time to go shopping but you will not have time to take a tour.

11. Who should I contact if I have additional golf related questions? Jandie Smith Turner of Soulful Golf is the golf cruise coordinator. She can be reached by e-mail at Jandie.Turner@acuitysports.com or by phone at 410-365-4816.
