My high school senior class wants to go on a cruise for our senior class trip so I was just wondering what the rules are about chaperones. Also how many do rooms on cruises usually go for? Any cruises that you recomend that are not to pricey and lots of fun? Thanks for the help.
Answer
The current rules for booking a stateroom on a cruise is that everyone in the room must be over 21 or if there are younger passengers then one person in the cabin must be over 25. The person over 25 would have to have a document provided by the cruise line that makes the adult the legal guardian for the cruise. This form must me signed by one of the minor's parents or their legal guardian.
In general the staterooms are set up in one of three arangements, a double, a triple or a quad. (2, 3, or 4 people)
The triples and quads are not all together so the group would be spread over the ship where there were rooms set up as triple and quads. This prevents clustering and has been done to ease the load on the cabin stewards in the areas.
Separating the large capacity rooms has also made taking large groups of minors on cruises more difficult. You didn't mention the size of your senior class. It would be difficult for the cruise line to accomodate a group of 600 or more passengers without significant planning.
As far as cost, the best rates normally are obtained by getting advanced group tickets about a year before the cruise departs, Carnival cruises normally would have the best large group rate. If a class were large enough say 2500-3000 students, arrangements might be made to book an entire cruise ship, but that would take a great amount of advanced planning, probably in excess of a year as we are currently booking passengers on cruises through mid 2009.
Also the cruise lines have broad discretionary powers and if people were found to be acting in a manner which was not conducive to the good order and sailing of the ship, they can put them off at any port to be flown home. Also note that since almost all cruises leave the country, currently by Summer 2008 all passengers will have to have passports. If before the passport date a passenger traveling on other documents had to be put off the ship for reasons of order or medical issues, they could not be flown back to the US without a passport.
As a final note, now with security regulations, all bags may be searched, and if any alcohol is brought on board it will be confiscated and thrown away. Persons under 21 are not allowed to drink and the cruise lines will card everyone under 30 y/o.
All the complications make a cruise for a senior class trip extremely difficult, and if you are graduating next spring you will need to start planning now, and find a travel agent immediately.

What does it cost to get a private pilot's license?

I know there's ground school and I heard around 70 hours of flying. Can you tell me how much all this would cost for a small airplane like a Cessna 150?
Answer
The cost depends HEAVILY on the time you actually take to finish and the hourly costs for the aircraft and instructor. A Cessna 152 can rent from $59/hr at a flying club to over $70/hr at a pricey flight school.

Many schools advertise a price for the PPL, but that only cover the 40 hour student. If they go over that, then it costs more. Some areas of the country or certain airport have very pricey rental rates. Shop around before you commit. Check into any flying clubs in your area as they are often less expensive as they have no staff or overhead to pay for.
