This fare allows you the flexibility to extend your cruise holiday and visit friends and relatives, or to experience new places. To join the 11 night Caribbean cruises you may fly to either Ft Lauderdale or Miami. One stop only is permitted in Los Angeles either going to or returning from the cruise. When travelling to the 17 night line voyages to and from the Caribbean, passengers are allowed stopovers in North America, Europe (including London) and Asia. If
