    anyone have an estimate on the total fees and tip requirements?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Great question, pamela! I found this in the FAQ section if helpful 💞 – Offer does not include taxes, fees or port expenses up to $137.06 per person due at the time of booking.
      Here’s what I found on tipping – For your convenience, gratuities* are charged to your onboard account at $18.00 per person per night* for interior and ocean view staterooms and $22.00 per person per night* for suites. Other staff members may be tipped as services are rendered. As a standard in the cruise industry, please note an 18% service charge will be included on all bar, drink packages, specialty dining, and St. Somewhere Spa & Salon tabs. All gratuities are included for resort stays under our Cruise & Stay programs.

    Does this also include retired Firefighters?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there, Pam! When checking the qualification details it does list Firefighters with a retired status as eligible! Hope this is helpful! ❤️

    Can teachers sign up through Govx or ShopVCS? What platform should teachers use?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      When going through the link above, it seems that teachers can also verify through GovX! 🙌💖

  4. Maria Vinalon

    Does this inside nurses?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      I did find this if helpful! ❤️ – You are eligible if you are working on the front-lines of the emergency medical field.

      Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
      Paramedics
      Registered Nurses (RNs)
      Trauma Nurses
      Nurse Practitioners
      Hospital Physicians, PAs, Technicians and other staff

        Thanks!

        • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

          You’re welcome! ❣️

  5. Natasha

    Does this include school administrators?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Good question!, Natasha! I’m not seeing any mention of school administrators. This is what is listed under Education – K-12 and University teachers.
      You might try reaching out to support through the link above to see if they can help! 🤞❤️

    I wish there were some Mexican cruises that were free like this. It would cost me way too much to fly to FL to take part in a free cruise!
