Q: Is there a deadline for deposits?

Q: Tell me about the ship?
A: The cruise is on Holland America’s Eurodam, an 86,000 ton ship built in 2008 and holds 2,104 passengers, perfect for the Country Music Cruise. Eurodam will replace Westerdam for most of Entertainment Cruise Productions impressive portfolio of music cruises beginning in 2014 - including The Jazz Cruise, The Smooth Jazz Cruises and The Soul Train Cruise. Holland America is a premium cruise line known for it’s culinary excellence, larger-than-average staterooms and stellar service.
Q: I'm in a wheelchair ... can I still go on this cruise?
A: Absolutely! Modern cruise ships are handicap-accessible and have cabins designed for those with disabilities. These amenities include wider doors for wheelchair entry to cabins; bathrooms with showers at floor level and big enough for wheelchairs, etc. And access to everything around the ship is within reach ... including the theater where shows will take place. However, guest should remember that these cabins are a premium and need to be booked as quickly as possible. In addition, your condition needs to be verified. As far as wheelchair and oxygen rentals are concerned, there are companies that provide those things that Allure Quest Travel Experience can take care of for you.
Q: What if I make my deposit, and then unforeseen circumstances prevent me from taking the cruise. Do I lose my deposit?
A: Yes, all monies paid are non-refundable. Allure Quest Travel Experience highly recommends travel insurance to protect your investment. Travel insurance protects you for a number of covered reasons. Insurance can be purchased individually or as a group.
Q: Do I need a passport?
A: Yes, yes ... and yes! Actually, you do not need a passport to board the ship, but you will need it to get off the ship at St. Barths. You could stay on the ship at that port, but just make it easy on yourself and get a passport. In fact, Allure Quest Travel Experience and Entertainment Cruise Productions highly recommends passports. If for some reason you have to fly back into the USA (family emergency, illness, etc.) you absolutely will not be allowed back into the country without it. And if you have a passport you should take a photo copy with you.
