Updates re: Nubian Dreams Cruise I


We are getting close to the first Nubian Dreams Cruise Event and there are a few questions that we are getting frequently so we thought we would address some of them here.

Q: Can I use my cellphone on the ship?
A: Once we depart the New York City port. TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF!!!. Once we hit international waters you will be charged most likely for every call, voicemail and text that comes in if your phone is on. Take it from us, we learned the hard way. You should check with your cell phone provider to see if you are covered in San Juan and St. Thomas. Most likely you are. Better be safe than sorry.

Q: Are there theme parties on the ship?
A: Carnival prohibits theme parties since there are children and others on the ship. There are two formal nights where people are asked to dress up for the formal dinners. If you don't have a tux and don't want to buy one you can rent it on the ship. If you prefer to wear a nice suit or a dress you won't be put out.

Q: Is there a charge for the Bon Vonage Party on Oct. 7th in NYC and what are the drink prices?
A: No the party is free to everyone over 21 years old and we will be inviting non- Nubian Dreams guests as well. The prices vary on the drink, however, there will be a vodka drink special for the first hour.

Q: Is it too late to order an official t-shirt?
A: No, you still have a few days to place your order. Pre-orders are $15.00 per shirt but they will be more on the ship. Limited sizes will be available on ship at a price of $20.00

Q: What time should I arrive at the ship?
A: We were told that they will start boarding at 12:30pm. That is subject to change like everything else. Please be on board in time for the Nubian Dreams orientation at 2:30pm. The ship is schedule to depart NYC at 4PM.

Q: I am coming in from the Philadelphia, PA area. Is there any special transportation available.
A: Yes, promoter partner Khris McCants is arranging transportation for his guests from Philly to the ship on the day of departure. Email Khris or call him at 215-313-0814 if you are looking for a ride.

Q: Where do I pick up my Nubian Dreams Sun Pass?
A: Once you board the ship go directly to the City Room to pick up your SunPass, Event Guide and gift bag courtesy of Bleu Magazine.

Q: What if I want to book excursions at the ports, when do I book them and with who?
A: We have planned our events in St. Thomas and San Juan so as to allow time to do other excursions if you wish. Our tour operators in the aforementioned companies have offerings as do Carnival. Consult your schedule and decide where you want to go.

Q: When will I get my ticket to board the ship?
A: Everyone was sent an email two weeks ago with their booking number and cabin number as well as instructions on how to complete their boarding information. If you have not completed the online registration on Carnival.com please contact James Saunders at 917-816-3577 immediately.

Q: Will non-Nubian Dreams guests be able to purchase a "Sun Pass" on the ship?
A: Sorry...Sold out but tickets are available for the Sunset at Soleil Event in San Juan and for the Island Beach Party in St. Thomas.

Q: Is the food free on the ship?
A: Yes food is free except for the "Supper Club" on the ship. Carnival dictates the specialty restaurants not Nubian Dreams. Reservations are required and a fee is charged.

Q: How soon can I reserve my space on the Nubian Dreams Cruise II?
A: Visit the www.nubiandreams.com website and it the cruise tab and fill out the reservation form for NDCII.
