authorises the minor’s travel and further authorises medical treatment in case of an emergency. This must be given to a Norwegian Cruise Line representative at the pier and failure to do so may result in boarding being denied, with no refund of the cruise fare.


Please note: Two people under the age of 21 may travel together in the same stateroom without someone over the age of 21 in the same stateroom if they purchased inter-connecting staterooms and have at least one person who is 21 years or older in the connecting stateroom. The age limit will be waived for married couples less than 21 years of age provided proof of marriage is presented to a Norwegian Cruise Line representative at the pier.


With the exception of Alaska and Hawai‘i itineraries, (where you must be 21 years of age to consume or purchase alcohol of any kind) Norwegian Cruise Line permits guests between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty (20) to purchase and personally consume wine and beer while on Norwegian Cruise Line ships with the consent of an accompanying parent or legal guardian on the same sailing once the vessel is outside the U.S. state territorial waters (3 miles out). Complete details and special consent form are only available on board at the Reception Desk.


Embarkaton Day When can I get on board?


We recommend that you arrive at the cruise terminal no earlier than one hour before the scheduled embarkation time printed on your cruise documents. Because of security regulations, guests may not be allowed to enter the cruise terminal before the scheduled embarkation time.


To make check-in as quick and easy as possible, we strongly recommend that you complete the Online Check-In at least 14 days prior to departure and no later than 1 day before sailing. If you do this, you will be able to complete check-in procedures at the terminal up to one hour before sailing. If you don’t complete the Online Check-In Form at least 2 weeks before sailing, you must complete check-in procedures at the terminal at least two hours before sailing.


Please note guests will not be allowed to board after check-in has been closed. Late arriving guests may join the ship at an approved port of call in the scheduled cruise itinerary. Travel to that subsequent port of call will be at the guests’ expense.


Will someone help me with my luggage?


Yes, porters are available at the pier during embarkation and disembarkation hours. The customary tip for porters is U.S.$2.00 per bag in New York (subject to change) and U.S.$1.00 (or the equivalent in local currency) per bag in all other ports.


How do my bags get on board?


We’ll take care of that and your luggage will be delivered direct to your stateroom. Just one thing, make sure you put your Norwegian Cruise Line luggage labels on your bags at the port.


How do I pay for my extras?


Easy! When you check-in you open a shipboard account by registering a major credit, debit or charge card - VISA® Express®


, MasterCard® or American


. If you prefer to pay by cash or travellers cheques, you’ll need to lodge a deposit of U.S.$100 per person per day (subject to change) at check-in. To make things even easier, if you haven’t paid the service charge in advance this will also be charged to your on-board account. On the last morning of your cruise you can settle your account in cash (U.S.$ only), or if you have registered a card, the total amount will be

automatically charged to that card. You may also use your debit card; however, please be advised that Norwegian Cruise Line obtains pre- authorisation which some banks may hold for up to 30 days.


What about currency?


You may cash traveller’s cheques at the Reception Desk. Currency exchange, at prevailing rates, is available on some cruises. Traveller’s cheques and most major credit cards are accepted in the ports we visit. Proper ID is required when cashing traveller’s cheques. We recommend you carry a small amount of local currency when visiting foreign ports, although credit cards are commonly accepted in shops and restaurants. Sorry but personal cheques and £ sterling are not accepted on board. Cash machines, dispensing U.S.$ are available 24 hours a day with a fee of U.S.$5.50 for each transaction (subject to change).


I’ve received an on-board credit – how can I spend it?


If you received your on-board credit through a promotion or group booking, it will be automatically added to your shipboard account and can be used towards personal on-board expenses (except the service charge and in the casino). But remember, if you don’t spend the full amount, we are unable to refund the balance.


What about tipping?


That’s easy too. You will have either prepaid the service charge on your holiday invoice or it will be charged to your on-board account. In addition, a suggested gratuity of 15% on drink bills and 18% on spa and salon bills will be added automatically and charged to your on-board account. You can find out more on page 108.
