FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What did passengers say about last year's cruise?

Dear Friends at Templeton Tours,

Thank you so very much for handling all the arrangements for the “Singing At Sea” Cruise we recently took. This was our first cruise and we are so glad we chose “ Singing At Sea.” It was absolutely wonderful!

You took care of everything and that made it easy for us. Everything was in order when we boarded the ship. We were well pleased with our cabin and our dinner table assignment. We had delightful dinner table partners.

We thoroughly enjoyed each Southern Gospel singing group, the Bible studies, new friends we met, and of course the food. The water was breathtakingly beautiful and relaxing. We were so blessed on this cruise!

Many thanks again for taking care of us!

Sincerely,

Diann
New Hebron, MS

Our doctors are independent contractors.

Medications?
Please carry your required medication in your pocket or purse so that it will be available when needed. Checked luggage may not be accessible at all times. If you're using any prescription drugs, vitamins or other medication on a regular basis, you should bring an adequate supply with you since these may not be readily available either aboard ship or in our ports of call. Commonly used medications may be purchased at the office of the ship's doctor.

What About Electrical Appliances?
Bring them with you by all means. Aboard all the "Fun Ships" the current in the staterooms is 110 volts AC and is capable of handling all normal appliances such as electric razors, hair dryers and hot curlers. However, some appliances may require use of an adapter.
