For those who are familiar with our show presentation format, each and every night of the cruise features a major nightly show for each of our dining groups. Starting around 6 pm every night, those who are in 1^st Seating Dining will dine and then will see their major nightly show around 8:30 pm or so. Those in Main Seating Dining will go to their major nightly show which will start around 6 pm as well. The exact show times and dining schedules have not been confirmed, but these times are reasonable approximations at this time. The nightly shows may be the same show twice or different shows. In either event, each show is performed once for 1^st Seating Diners and once for Main Seating Diners, so you will see every show sometime during the cruise.

The major nightly shows of The Soul Train Cruise 2013 will be held in the Vista Lounge. There is ample good seating for every guest.  The rest of the cruise is set up as in a festival style, with numerous shows and activities going on at the same time, where you are welcome to come and go as you wish.

There are three ways to pay for your cabin for The Soul Train Cruise. Payment Plan One is our Standard Payment Plan. We also have two Payment Plans that allow our guests to s-t-r-e-t-c-h out their payments over many months.  Payment Plan Two is our monthly Sail-A-Way plan and Payment Plan Three is our Quarterly Sail-A-Way plan. At the time of your reservation, you may select whichever plan you desire.

You choose the plan that best fits your needs and requirements. Entertainment Cruise Productions is dedicated to making the payments for cabins as guest-friendly as possible.

*All payments are non-refundable

Airfare is not included in the cost of the cruise. However, if notified far enough in advance our Travel Department can assist you with making air reservations. If you elect to use that service, a $25 service fee per ticket will be charged.
