The preference sheet is how the Captain will know who he has coming aboard, and how the Chef will know what to buy for your trip, so it is very important! Here you will not only discuss your culinary tastes and expectations, but also outline how you intend to spend your time – whether reading, swimming, scuba diving, hiking, shopping, exploring, etc. The best way to make sure that everyone in your group will have their favorites, is to go through this form as a group, so no one’s favorite desert/meal/drink is left out. Here, you can also stipulate how much of your APA is to be spent on provisions.
