That’s why we’re pulling out all the stops to make sure our RockStar Sailors have everything they’ll need (and a few extra things, on us).

Bar Tab is called Sailor Loot (AKA onboard credit) that’s pre-purchased during the booking process to spend on premium beverages all around our lady ships and at The Beach Club at Bimini (if on your itinerary).
The best part? For every Bar Tab purchased, you get an extra amount added, on us. So, get some cocktails on the house or in this case, ship.
Like most of our Sailor Loot, unused Bar Tab credit is not refundable at the end of a voyage, so drink up or feel free to share with a friend – or two!
Absolutely! There’s a fantastic gym on each vessel on deck 15. In addition, HIIT, barre, yoga, spin, bungee, and more, you’ll always have a way to sweat it out on board.
