YOU MUST HAVE A PASSPORT!!!!!!!!

Reservations will be made through the Furry Cruise Coordinator. He will be working directly with Norwegian Cruise Lines to book all attendees.

Please call to book or email your personal information but for security we request all payments be made by phone.

First (Yes some of this is a repeat from above)
Make sure you have a valid passport.

We normally recommend that participants of the Furry Cruise be a minimum of 18 years of age. Due to the nature of suiting on a cruise ship being in suit may become overwhelming to younger or inexperienced people. You must be at least 21 years of age to book a cabin. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by someone 21 years of age or older. If you have special circumstances, please call or email us and we will advise you on how to proceed.

Next, please find a roommate to book with. (The Furry Cruise will not find roommates for you. We say this as you will best know who you get along with, especially for extended times.) Cabin prices are based on having two people per room so if you travel alone you will essentially pay for two people.

Reservations are made through the Furry Cruise, (any bookings made by other means will not be included in the group). The Furry Cruise works directly with Norwegian Cruise Lines, and their travel agency booking system to book all attendees and secure the best promotions and room locations (when available).

Now that you have your roommate and required ID, please review the Code of Conduct. (By placing a deposit and joining us on the cruise, you agree to follow these general guidelines for behavior.) We reserve the right to modify these guidelines at any time as required by ship staff or the Furry Cruise On-Ship Coordinator to keep the event safe and pleasant for both our attendees and the other passengers of the cruise ship.

To secure your room we require the personal information listed below for all people traveling in a cabin and the payment of the required deposit. We normally recommend emailing the personal information to help avoid any errors.

Payment for the deposit as well as final payments are by major credit/debit card and will be processed directly through NCL. We recommend for security that all payments be made by phone.

Please call or email us with any questions you may have.

Code of Conduct

The Furry Cruise by nature is a public furry / fursuiting event held onboard one of many cruise ships each year since 2005. Unlike any other con we are only a small number of people on a very large moving hotel and in so much we represent the furry community as a whole and should place our best foot forward. General behavior and rules are first and foremost dictated by the ship’s code of conduct; please review this information on the appropriate cruise line’s web page.

Above and beyond that, we ask that any attendee, whether it be in costume or not, should maintain a proper, respectful attitude to all members of not only the group but other guests onboard the ship.

We also request common sense be used in both talking about the event and the furry / fursuiting community in general. If you are in doubt please refer questions to the Furry Cruise Coordinator for direction or to handle any unique questions other passengers or ship staff may have.

Unfortunately, we CAN NOT allow any copyrighted characters for suits onboard the ship, for legal reasons.

Unfortunately, we CAN NOT allow any excessively provocative characters for suits onboard the ship, for legal/event contract reasons.

We request that once on board on the first day of the cruise, please allow time for the Furry Cruise Coordinator to approach the ship staff and secure proper permission and give the group an ‘all clear’ before any suiting activities begin. We request and very much recommend that you not fursuit without there being at least two of our group present and preferably one person who is not in a suit (handler). Traversing the ship and operating doors, buttons, elevators and other obstacles can prove to be more difficult than normal on a cruise ship due to limited space and close quarters. In addition, we have always attracted a lot of attention and the small walkways can easily become extremely crowded.

Dealing with the public on board requires a level of tact and patience; unlike other events, suiters are not to approach people unless invited to do so by those people. We are not to solicit or demand attention but rather welcome it only when given freely. The Furry Cruise is a PG-rated event and all activities, actions, and appearances should remain as such. Please be mindful, in everything you do, that a large portion of the ship’s two to three thousand other guests are families including every age imaginable. We have put smiles on the faces of everyone from children to the elderly and we want to continue doing so. Use common sense, and when in doubt, ask the Furry Cruise Coordinator.

Fursuiting has been cleared ONBOARD SHIP ONLY due to uncertainty regarding local laws and customs; it is neither in NCL’s or the Furry Cruise Coordinator ability, nor responsibility to confirm or deny whether fursuiting at any port of call is permissible or legal. Please keep this in mind ESPECIALLY in the port areas, even if a member of ship’s staff says “you may step off in suit” at a port. Even if it is in the USA or Canada, the “port itself” may be under stricter regulations (Think TSA/Homeland Security/Customs). These agencies may not be as forgiving. If you still decide to suit in a port of call (not recommended) we recommend carrying off the suit until clear of any secure location before putting any portion on.

Attendees are expected to drink responsibly when in fursuit. Though we respect the fact that this is a vacation for everyone as much as an event, we do request you are extra mindful about drinking alcohol in suit and enjoy yourself well within your personal tolerances. When in suit, you represent not only yourself but the group as a whole to other staff and passengers. Should any handler or the Furry Cruise Coordinator deem you to be acting in an excessively impaired way you will be requested to de-suit and continue to enjoy your evening out of suit. This is for both your safety and the safety of the guests around you.

Please ensure that your fursuit is fresh and clean, observe general etiquette for public fursuit performance. We also ask that the suit/behavior/dress/accessories are age/setting appropriate when traveling with us. Most of all, relax and enjoy the cruise.

If in doubt contact a member of the Furry Cruise Staff.

Failure to abide by Furry Cruise Policy may result in a requirement to discontinue suiting or being uninvited to future events.

Failure to abide by Cruise Line policy may result in disembarkation from the ship at the next port of call.
