Q:
How do we prepare for the debutantes' ball?
A:
Don't stress. We've been hosting quinceañera cruises for 25 years & we have it down to a science! - We will hold an in-person orientation for all sailings at the beginning of the year of which you are travelling. - During this meeting, you will be given all the important details you need for your cruise as well as the dates for your 3 rehearsals. - These rehearsals with professional choreographers & emcees will be on 3 different weekends about 4-6 weeks prior to your sail date. You will have 1 last rehearsal on the day you board the ship to practice at the actual venue where the ball will be held so make sure you board with the necessary items on-hand. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Q:
What if we don't live in Miami?

Not a problem! All reservations can be done on the phone or electronically. If you are unable to attend the rehearsals, we will send you a video to practice at home and we will catch you up during our last practice onboard!
