I understand – not everyone finds my writing entertaining, but I AM BEGGING YOU …

Trip insurance - Due to the unique nature of our event, we have a very strict
cancellation policy. We HIGHLY recommend that passengers consider purchasing
travel insurance. Until August 1, 2015, any person cancelling their cabin will receive a 50% refund of
whatever money they have paid to that point. AS OF 8:00 AM (EASTERN TIME) ON AUGUST 1ST,
THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON. NAHA/RLC does not have the ability to sell travel
insurance. You are welcome to contact any insurance company of your choosing or, for more
information go to http://www.squaremouth.com/21434 – Travel Insurance where you can compare
hundreds of travel insurance plans from the top providers and buy immediately or use their
comprehensive research features. Every major travel insurance provider in the USA is represented for
comparison and review.
Flying in and out of Ft. Lauderdale
o You will want to be in Ft. Lauderdale by about 1:00 pm on the 21st. The airport is about 10-20
minutes from the port. PASSENGER boarding is between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm. Don’t forget –
you MUST be on the ship by 4:00 pm so plan your flights accordingly.
o PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY AS THIS INTERFERS WITH SET UP – WHICH
RESULTS IN A DELAYED KICK OFF. We appreciate you are excited to get on board and get
started, BUT it causes problems for everyone if you arrive and try to board early. It could also
result in you having to hang out in a “holding area” at the pier which is NOT where you want to
spend your time! So, on the day of boarding – PLEASE sleep late, have breakfast, have lunch,

enjoy some adult beverages, enjoy the scenery and THEN come down to the pier (AFTER 1 PM)
ready to rock! We would REALLY appreciate everyone’s cooperation with this!!!!!
o We dock Monday morning, the 25th, around 7:00 am. HOWEVER, please do not book any
flights prior to noon as it can take quite a bit of time to get off the ship and get through customs.
We don’t want anyone missing their flight!
o We do strongly recommend you arrive the day before we sail – especially if you are coming
from a “temperamental weather” area. Unfortunately, we have had passengers miss the ship
because of delayed flights the day of sailing!
Hotels – we are finalizing a list of hotels that will offer special rates to our passengers. It should be
available in the next week or so. You will find the list at www.rocklegendscruise.com (on the left hand
side there is a column of tabs, one of them will say HOTELS.
Shuttles – if you are staying at a local hotel, they may (or may not) provide shuttle service for you. This
information will be included with the hotel rates. For passengers arriving the day of the cruise (January
21, 2015), there are a couple of shuttle options to/from both Ft. Lauderdale airport and Miami airport.
o GO Airport shuttle – book by going to www.floridalimo.com
o Ace Tours Inc – book by calling 888-641-4389 or 954-791-6575 or by email:
[email protected] or online at acetoursinc.com.
Passports – are not REQUIRED to board the ship, but are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. If you
would have to fly out of a foreign country for any reason – it becomes very complicated without a
passport. There is plenty of time to get one and you can always use it for all future RLCs! 
Medical Marijuana – We've had a couple of folks asking about bringing medical marijuana on board so
we wanted to get the official answer to make sure everyone has the right information. Per Royal
Caribbean, the information from both the cruise line's medical side and legal side is that while medical
marijuana is legal in some states, it is still illegal in Florida and anyone in possession of an illegal
substance is at risk of possible arrest, even with a prescription. It is therefore NOT recommended that
any cruise passengers bring any form of marijuana (medical or otherwise) or other illegal substances on
the charter.
You will not be allowed to bring ANY beverages – alcoholic or otherwise – on board in your luggage.
If alcohol – in particular – is found in your luggage, at the very least it will be confiscated and disposed
of. HOWEVER, the port authority has the discretion to deny boarding to passengers found with alcohol.
Do you want to be left on the dock watching us sail away for a $20 bottle of liquor?
This is a very casual cruise. There is no need to dress up – unless you wish to do so. There are no
formal dining nights. There are no assigned dining times. We will publish a schedule of when all
dining establishments will be open (as well as if there are any additional fees – such as for the
steakhouse) once we get closer to the cruise date.
Handicap Accessibility – if you require the use of a wheelchair or scooter on board, please note that
such items DO NOT FIT into a standard cabin – only the Handicap Accessible cabins. You MAY NOT
leave your wheelchair or scooter out in the hallway – this is considered a safety issue on board and the
item will be removed by ship staff. If you need a wheelchair on board and are in a standard cabin, make
sure the wheelchair folds!!!!!
Wheelchairs – if you need assistance to board the ship, Royal Caribbean staff will be available with
wheelchairs to assist you. However, there are no wheelchairs on board for passenger use. If you believe
you may need use of a wheelchair, you must either bring your own or contact a vendor who will rent
you a wheelchair, powered wheelchair or scooter for the duration of your voyage. The vendors will
deliver the chosen item to the ship and pick it up at the end of the trip. The following vendors have
security clearance to get on and off the ship:
o Care Vacations: 877-478-7827 / website: carevacations.com
o Special Needs at Sea: 800-513-4515 / website: specialneedsatsea.com
Oxygen – Guests who are dependent on oxygen must supply their own oxygen and need to indicate that
they will be bringing oxygen aboard in the special requests/needs section of their booking. Royal
Caribbean currently works with the following two companies from which guests can rent oxygen and
have it delivered to the ship:
o Care Vacations: 877-478-7827 / website: carevacations.com
o Special Needs at Sea: 800-513-4515 / website: specialneedsatsea.com
The lineup is complete, BUT
there is still more good stuff to come so stay tuned!
Meet and greets!
Artist interviews!
Rock memorabilia auctions!
A full day of fun at Grand Turk!
We are leaving no rock unrolled
to ensure that this is the BEST RLC YET!!!!!
