Very excited about this 31 day cruise.  But my question is, do I need a visa for this?  I keep reading yes, and stuff about ETA, but not sure which is the proper way to go and not overspend.  Some places say $20, some say $140.  Not sure what Visa type either.  If anyone can "sesame street" this for me, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I get free drinks at the casino so for me, it's better than the one free drink because there is no service charge.

I am platinum (first time this next cruise) and my wife is gold.  So I have questions that I hope someone can answer.  But first to answer your question, the reason is because I had cruises before I met her 🙂

So obviously, she gets to take advantage of early check-in, boarding with me, and express guest services.  But...

#1 Does she get perks like laundry or is it just me?  If I get 5 bags, does she get 5 bags too, or is it collectively?  If only I get 5, should I be mean and tell her she's not allowed to put laundry in because she's only gold?

#2 The casino $25 fun play for which I now qualify, does she get it as well?

#3 The complimentary beverage at Seaday brunch, what if the cruise has multiple Seaday brunches.  Thinking it's only once, but thought I'd ask if it's every time?

#4 The VIFP party.  Is it a secret I shouldn't tell her?  Do I just say "I'm gong to the casino", and sneak away to the party, or is she allowed to join me?

I joke but I really want to know.  Thanks in advance.
