From chennai, ships start it's journey only on sunday & tuesday. For whole year this timetable is fixed or there is any change in schedule during winter/monsoon/summer seasons. What is dinner/ lunch facility in ship. What is food rate ? During ship journey , is there any health issues. What I read is that there is severe vomiting sensation during journey. In AC cabs, how vomiting occurs ?How tickets can be booked. We are 2 couples+ 4 children. Fare for children having age group 6-10 yrs. The fare of 1st AC cab is rs 6100. How many persons accommodated in 1 cab ? This rs 6100 fare is per head or per cabin. Please simplify.
