**A WORD ABOUT OUR MEAL POLICY: Having done quite a bit of traveling ourselves, we know that all-inclusive packages sometimes result in customers receiving food they don't necessarily want, leading to food waste and/or unhappy eaters. This is why, other than the included breakfasts and the chuckwagon dinner, our voyagers order and pay only for the food they wish to consume. Don't worry, you wont be left to navigate meal options on your own. For all lunches and dinners, you'll be taken to areas where you have a variety of options to satisfy your wallet and pallet, ordering the amount of food you wish to consume. This helps both your experience and our planet.
