How it's going to work
Let's break down the event!
We have all 4 conference rooms for all 4 nights for various events and meetings. Including a Thirst room, and an Art room.
For the Thirst room, there will be displays, posters, and soft lighting to give that intimate and ethereal feeling that is perfect for a Thirst room.
For the Art room, we will display Art from ARMY artists around the world for our own mini ARMY Museum.
We are hosting cocktail parties, a pool party (or two ;)), game nights, karaoke, private parties/events for each specific event type listed below, and a Festa conference with classes focusing on the BTS ideals of loving yourself, connection, living your dreams, and mental health, just to name a few.
And then, there's the swag bag! This isn't just a small swag bag to tick a box. This is a FULL swag bag that includes a lot of goodies, merch, and some swag from Army shops. This we want to keep a surprise, so trust us that it's going to be AMAZING.
The group events, the swag bags, and so much more, is included in your chosen event package. We want to make sure this isn't just a cruise with ARMY, but a full 4-day event FOR ARMY.

A: YES! There is an option for that when you register
Q: Can I choose my own roommate?
A: Yes! Just specify with us when you register for the cruise who you want to be your roommate and we'll get that taken care of!
Q: What's included in the events packages?
A: It depends on the package you choose, so let's start at the top!
-
We have the HYYH package. This package gets you into all the full group events, all 4 days, and the HYYH Swag bag.
-
We have the Love Yourself package, which includes everything from the HYYH package with an extra Love Yourself private event, and a Love Yourself Swag bag.

-
Other than what is listed, there is more being provided with each package that is a surprise for everyone!
Q: Why is the cruise with your event more expensive than what I can find on Royal Caribbean's site?
A: This is a bit more complicated of a question, but ultimately, it's not. After gratuities, taxes, and fees, our group rate for a full balcony room is less than what you can find on RCI. When you are working with our group rate, you are paying for everything needed for your stay on the ship (other than add-ons). When you book through RCI with the same criteria, it comes out higher and without gratuities.
Q: Do I need a passport?
A: If you are a US citizen, no, you do not need a passport. You will simply use other means of identification. If you are not a US citizen, you will need a passport to fly into the United States.
Q: Are there any payment plans available?
A: Yes! We only require a 25% deposit to register for the event. After that, the event will need to be paid in full by March 1st, 2023.
Q: How old do I need to be to register for the cruise?
A: In order to book the event and cruise, the lead registrant MUST be 21 years of age. After that, anyone registering with you can be under that age of 21. But the lead registrant MUST be 21.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Full refund before Dec 7th, 2022
-
75% before Feb 15th, 2023
-
50% before April 3rd, 2023
