It ’s all in the planning What shall I pack?
To give you an idea of what to toss into your suitcase, we’ve got answers to some of your questions like:
• Can I wear something casual to dinner? • Do people dress up at night? • Can I wear my swimsuit day and night?
The answer to all the above is “yes” - with Freestyle Cruising, you’re pretty much welcome to wear whatever, whenever. Our philosophy is “resort casual” and with the widest range of dining venues, tons of entertainment options and bars and lounges, you’ll find there are places for your style all over our ships, day and night.
Daytime, it’s basically all fine since we know you’re probably headed to the pool or out for a fun Shore Excursion. Casual shorts, jeans, tops and sundresses are welcome everywhere. You can even wear your swimsuit to the poolside grill or the buffet.
Resort casual dress gets you into every venue at night too. Some people like to add a jacket, or when celebrating a special occasion, get all decked out. This too is welcome everywhere. And if you’re tired from a long fun day and just want to wear shorts - our buffet is the place for a casual dinner. Some people prefer nice jeans. They’re welcome in many of our restaurants as well, but not in all. It’s your vacation on Norwegian Cruise Line so dress comfortably, and you’ll find a venue that suits your style.
Since all suitcases are collected the night before we return to port, don’t forget to bring an overnight bag packed with a change of clothes, prescriptions and need-to-have items. Thanks to Freestyle Disembarkation, you’ll have time on your final morning on board for breakfast and some last minute sunbathing or even a workout.
What’s Included?
Your cruise fare entitles you to accommodation, meals and entertainment aboard ship.

If you are bringing your golf clubs or a wheelchair, they are permitted on board ship, but do check with your airline for any restrictions they may have.

What are Norwegian Cruise Line’s age requirements?
Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied in the same or connecting stateroom by a guest 21 years or older who agrees to be responsible for the younger guest throughout the cruise. This includes preventing under-age buying or drinking of alcohol, preventing under-age gambling and ensuring they don’t break any of the ship’s rules. Just one thing to remember – if you’re not the parent or legal guardian of the child or children travelling with you, you must obtain a Parent/Guardian Consent & Release Form that
Can you accommodate a special diet?
We’ll certainly do our best, see page 109 for more details.
Are Norwegian Cruise Line cruises suitable for families?
Absolutely perfect! We have fantastic children’s and teen’s activity programmes and lots of family friendly accommodation from interconnecting staterooms to Suites and Villas. Check out pages 86-87 for all the details. Just a couple of things to note for babies: We can provide cots for babies but to qualify for the Infant Fare they must be under the age of two on the day of sailing. And, sorry, we do not accept infants under the age of six months at the time of sailing.
Please note – according to United States Public Health (U.S.P.H) regulations, no nappies of any kind are permitted in the swimming pools or hot tubs, including nappies marketed as “swimmers”.
Guests under 21 years may not occupy their own stateroom, but once again our family friendly accommodation provides lots of sharing options.
And just one more thing, children are not allowed in the on-board bars after 11pm and are not permitted in the bowling alley after 9pm aboard Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Gem or Norwegian Pearl. So check them into the children’s group babysitting programme - it’s open from 10pm to 1am and they’ll have much more fun.
a medical or physical condition that may require special attention or treatment, you must advise our Reservations Department at the time of booking.
For their own comfort and safety, pregnant women must complete all travel by the 24th of pregnancy.
