What to Expect on Board

The CAT features open seating, so please enjoy any available seat. Please do not leave personal items unattended. Our casino opens, movies and scheduled entertainment begin approximately 20 minutes after departure. The casino will close approximately 20 minutes before docking. Movies and entertainment are listed on the marquee signs near each TV-movie lounge entrance. Announcements will be made when movies and entertainment are about to begin.

What to Bring with You

You will be unable to return to your vehicle during the voyage as the Vehicle Decks are secured upon departure. So, please bring with you anything you may need.

We recommend:

• Sweaters or jackets
• Eyeglasses, sunglasses, binoculars and cameras
• Reading materials, computers, games
• Children's playthings and childcare items
• Medications or other necessary items
• Cell phones (signal is typically available near shore, but not during most of the crossing)

A Word About "Sea-Legs"

Some people are more sensitive to motion than others, and while The CAT's T-Foil stabilization system provides a comfortable, smooth ride in most conditions—there may be occasions when some may have trouble getting their "Sea-Legs." Experts advise: do not skip eating, but avoid spicy or greasy foods; sip water or ginger ale; stand and look at a fixed point on the horizon; avoid reading; avoid alcohol and coffee. Over-the-counter medicines for motion sickness can be effective if taken before or at the start of the trip (for your convenience, such medicine is available on board and in the terminal). If you need assistance, ask a cabin attendant.

Arrival Instructions

Approximately 20 minutes before arrival, an announcement will be made, movies and entertainment will be concluded and the casino will close. Passengers should complete their customs declarations and gather personal belongings. An announcement will be made when it is time for passengers to proceed to their vehicles and when walk-on passengers are able to go ashore. Please follow all crew member instructions.
