All genitalia must be covered where food is served, interior of the ship and when the ship is in port at the pool area.
That depends on the port. When other ships are docked nearby, guests must remain covered while on the pool deck and when walking through port areas.

Always check the daily program for specific guidelines during your sailing.

X-rated PDAs are only allowed in the playrooms and your cabin.
Smoking is allowed in designated areas only.
Some playrooms on Bliss Cruise are couples-only, while others welcome unescorted women and men. Communication and mutual consent are essential in all areas.

Castaways strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance to protect the value of your vacation. Unforeseen events such as flight delays or cancellations, medical issues, accidents, injury, death, family emergencies, job loss, or even illness before sailing can cause you to miss or cut short your cruise. Travel protection insurance can help cover these unexpected situations.
Coverage ranges from standard cancellation and medical protection to more flexible options, including “cancel for any reason” plans. Costs vary depending on your state of residence, date of birth, and level of coverage selected.
For U.S. residents, Castaways Travel offers policies through Allianz Insurance. If you live outside the U.S., please secure coverage locally. Do not take a chance on missing your well-earned vacation—travel insurance provides peace of mind when you need it most. Ask your Castaways Travel Advisor for a quote and an explanation of available plans or send us a email request for an insurance quote, or call (281) 465-4960.
