IAM Cruise 2024

 

Greetings IAM Pageant Powerhouse Family!

 
Join us on The Annual IAM International Cruise to Mexico with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line! Calling all former and current members of the NAMily and the IJM Dynasty – this includes America’s Junior Miss Queens, NAM National Queens, IJM International Queens, NAM and IJM State Queens, as well as NAM and IJM State Contestants. A group block has been set up exclusively for The IAM Pageant Powerhouse. 
 
You don’t want to miss The Annual IAM International Cruise aboard the Mariner of the Seas! Not only will you be able to enjoy a relaxing vacation while sailing the beautiful waters of the Puerto Costa Maya and Cozumel, you will also be able to hang out with several of the reigning royalty and alumni from The IAM Pageant Powerhouse and enjoy exclusive photo opportunities for The IAM social media and promotions.
 
 
The amped up Mariner of the Seas is packed with more ways to play on the most maxed-out short getaway ever. Hang ten on the added FlowRider surf simulator or race down The Perfect Storm waterslides. Bond over family-style Tuscan eats at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, or kick off date night at The Bamboo Room.

$90.00

As of November 11, 2023*, the automatic service gratuity of $18.00 USD per person, per day for guests in non-suites staterooms and Junior Suite,

The gratuity applies to individual guests of all ages and stateroom categories. As a way to reward our crew members for their outstanding service, gratuities are shared among dining, bar & culinary services staff, stateroom attendants and other hotel services teams who work behind the scenes to enhance the cruise experience.

In the unlikely event that a guest onboard being charged the daily automatic gratuity does not receive satisfactory service, the guest may request to modify the daily amount at their discretion by visiting Guest Services onboard and will be able to do so until the morning of their departure. Guests who have pre-paid their gratuity will not see a daily charge during their cruise.

The automatic daily gratuity is based on customary industry standards. Applying this charge automatically helps streamline the recognition process for the crew members who work to enhance your cruise. We hope you find the gratuity to be an accurate reflection of your satisfaction and thank you for your generous recognition of our staff.

A 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverages and mini bar items.

A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all spa & salon purchases.

 

If gratuities are not pre-paid prior to sailing, they will be automatically added to the guests’ folios once onboard. Pre-paid gratuities can be added to an individual reservation at any time outside of 48 hours of the sail date.
