Sit Back, Relax & Enjoy the Ride
With A Princess SeaCoach Cruise
With the airlines becoming an increasing hassle, we are pleased to announce SeaCoach cruises. We have secured deluxe motorcoach transportation from Rochester, NY to the ship and back. This is the perfect opportunity to sit back and relax while you are driven from your home city to your cruise port in comfort. You simply park your car at the pick up point and board the bus with your luggage to start your vacation.
No Driving!
No Long Airport Check-in!
No Security Lines!
No Baggage Fees!
Door to Door Service!
Many airlines now charge for checked luggage, the majority at $25 for the first bag and up to $100 for the 2nd bag. By traveling SeaCoach, you can bring as much luggage as you like without an additional fee and there are no
screening lines or lost luggage. A time study indicates traveling by bus is approximately 1 hour longer than flying to the cruise.
It is recommended you arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes prior to your flight and add to that the time to park your car and take the shuttle
bus to the terminal. The flight is 1+ hours to NY or NJ. After you deplane the aircraft, you still have to wait for the luggage to be sent to the carousels in baggage claim so add at least 1/2 hour. Finding the transfer buses or taxi to take you to the pier is an additional hour at minimum. All in all, a long and stressful start to your vacation.
 Considering driving to NY or NJ? Have you seen the price of gas? With the distance at approximately 350 miles, you would spend at least $70-$90 each direction. The parking at the port ranges from $20-$30 per day. Add to that the tolls which are frequent on that route and you have now spent more that the cost of the SeaCoach with much less comfort.
Experience the door-to-door service of SeaCoach, no dragging luggage down long airport corridors, no waiting in long security screening lines. Experience less stress and arrive at your vacation and back home rested and
relaxed.

1. Bimini Islands, Bahamas - These tiny islands offer a great variety of snorkeling sights, including coral gardens and reef fish. One of the best known sites is the wrecked ship Sapona, here the hull lies partly submerged in 20 ft. of water.
2. Culebra, Puerto Rico - The Playa Flamenco beach is popular for parties and camping, but you can leave everyone behind with a 20-minute walk to Carlos Rosario Beach for one of the greatest snorkeling spots in the Caribbean.
3. Salt Cay, Turks and Caicos - Dive tour operators lead expeditions to forests of elk horn coral with resident nurse sharks and sting rays. Here the British frigate HMS Endymion, wrecked 1790, lies in only 20 ft. of water. Winter offers a bonus, when snorkelers may be able to swim amidst humpback whales.
4. St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands - St. John's coast is rich with protected places to snorkel. Beginners may like Trunk Bay, where signs point out highlights. More experienced divers will want to explore Leinster Bay and Haulover Bay, both accessible from shore. Other sites require a boat.
5. Makaha Beach Park, Hawaii - located on the leeward side of Oahu. Whether snorkeling at the park beach or at some of the outlying reefs, you'll spot plenty of fish, sponges, and corals, with a chance to see spotted eagle rays, green sea turtles (which grow up to 400 pounds), and resident spinner dolphins.
6. Bunaken National Marine Park, Indonesia - Founded in 1991, the park offers unrivaled biodiversity, with huge varieties of corals, invertebrates and over 2,500 species of fish.
7. Rurutu, French Polynesia - As you plunge below the surface, the sounds of whales fill your ears. Every year between August and November, humpbacks migrating north from Antarctica rest in the waters of the Australes Archipelago.
8. Great Barrier Reef, Australia - 12 to 50 miles off the northeastern shore of Australia, 2,500 reefs cover an area as large as California. The shallows are inhabited by spotted eagle rays, manta rays, green sea turtles, sea slugs, plus hundreds of species of corals, fish and mollusks.
9. Fiji - With 330 islands this snorkeler's paradise features "bommies," pillars of coral that rise from the depths to within a few feet of the surface. On the bommie top live giant clams, starfish, urchins, anemones, a variety of fish, manta rays, and reef sharks.
10. Florida Springs Holes - Florida State Parks offer crystal clear spring-fed basins in central Florida. Many have outstanding opportunities to view fish and other creatures, including half-ton manatees and the occasional alligator. One good spot is Silver Glen Springs in Ocala National Forest. Here snorkelers spot sunfish, largemouth bass, tilapia, catfish, and schools of mullet. Another good bet: Blue Spring State Park, where swimming is allowed in the pool and outflowing stream only when manatees aren't present.

Note: Adventures by Disney welcomes children ages 4 and up to discover the stories of the world with Adventures by Disney. However, on some trips, children 6+ benefit most from the exciting activities that Adventures by Disney has planned. Please be aware that younger Junior Adventurers - typically under age 6 - may not be able to participate in some scheduled activities due to height, weight, and other requirements.
1. Give kids a bag of their own. Let them help choose toys or games to bring in their own backpack. The bag can hold a few toys, crayons, and snacks for long flights and down time.
2. Trip research can be a family activity. Let your kids browse through local brochures and suggest places to visit. Additionally, brochures are great for scrapbooks too.
3. Think like a local. Ask desk clerks and locals about fun activities and good restaurants in their area. Don't be shy about asking someone who has kids.
4. Pack for emergencies. Pack carry-on bags with two days of diapers, medications and an extra set of clothes. These come in handy in case your luggage is delayed or someone spits up.
5. Don’t forget the antibacterial wipes, tissues and zip baggies. Stick them in your carry-on, purse, and day pack. Make use of the various sizes for toys, wet swimsuits, travel documents, trash, and more.
6. Everybody loves presents. To keep kids occupied and in good spirits, periodically offer treats or small new toys. Nothing fancy: Plastic cars, rings, or maybe a finger puppet from the dollar store. Avoid toys that make noise.
7. Divide the responsibilities. Plan to have one parent in charge of checking in with IDs and luggage while the other cares for the kids. Likewise, not everyone needs to wait at baggage claim. One parent can grab a cart , the other can take the kids to the bathroom and keep them occupied.
8. Velcro shoes. These days, even children are required to remove their shoes at airport security, plan shoes that are easy to get on and off.
9. Get a comfortable room. Consider upgrading to a room with a patio or balcony. That way, you can step outdoors and enjoy the scenery during nap time. Additionally, in-room kitchenettes are great for families, besides storing snacks and drinks; they are great when it's time to heat milk.
10. Put a night-light in the bathroom. It will make all the difference to kids trying to find their way around a strange place at night.
11. Insta-fridge. Pack a foldable cooler. These work well as regular bags when they're not holding bottles, fruit, and snacks.
12. Souvenirs. Kids love souvenirs. Vacations are a good opportunity to teach children about money and making good choices. Think about giving each child a dollar amount to spend.
13. Give each child a journal and a disposable camera. Encourage your kids to observe the places they visit by photographing, drawing or writing about it.
