If you follow any cruise message boards or forums, you are bound to see someone asking if they can bury or spread their deceased loved one’s ashes at sea while they are on their cruise. One of the best ways to arrange a cremation is through Neptune Society. The simplified answer to this question is yes. Most cruise lines will allow you to bring the ashes on board and will even block off an area at the back of the ship, for a short time, in order to allow you and your family time to prepare and to say a few words and then spread the ashes out over the sea. Different cruise lines may have different ways of setting up a burial at sea, but most are very similar with the requirements for this to take place. If your loved one was someone who loved being at sea, then this could be the perfect place to bury them. Some cruise lines even give you a keepsake map or document with the exact location of where you spread the ashes, marked on it, including latitude and longitude, that you can take home with you and frame or place in a scrapbook. You will need to check with your chosen cruise in advance, to make sure they allow it. Once you have your loved one’s ashes and are ready to book your cruise, call the cruise line and make sure a burial Can you still bury a person at sea? at sea can take place. Most cruise lines do allow this, but it’s better to check first. It is required that you have to be at least twelve nautical miles from land and from any restricted areas before the ceremony and burial at sea can take place. Once you are on board, go to guest services where Guest Services Officers and the Environmental & Occupational Safety Officer will coordinate the burial at sea. Once everything is <strong>final</strong>ized, you will be notified of the time and date for your service to take place. On most lines, when the time arrives, you will be escorted to the appointed area by an officer or security guard. The area will be cordoned off in order to allow the family the privacy for the ceremony and time for the burial at sea to take place. You may toss flowers overboard along with the ashes, but they must be real flowers and should be ordered from the cruise line in advance. You will not be allowed balloons or anything plastic or that could harm the sea and the sea life.

Caribbean’s 6,000 passenger Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas are currently based at Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades. The plans which were revealed detail a facility that will be called Terminal A and would be operational in 2018. Royal Caribbean’s contract at Port Everglades expires in 2018. “Its not that we are leaving Port Everglades,” Adam Goldenstein, RCL’s chief operating officer told county commissioners Wednesday. “But the majority of our business will shift here to PortMiami for the foreseeable future.” Miami-Dade Commissioners will vote on the agreement with Royal Caribbean that could last as long as 60 years. Royal Caribbean is headquartered in Miami. The investment in Terminal A is predicted to double Royal Caribbean’s passenger volume to an estimated 1.5 million a year. The Port- Miami would be paid $9.5 million in rent by the cruise ship giant. 4 >> Travel Trade OUTBOUND - Scandinavia
