What do I ned to know
about life on board? Can I phone home from the ship?
Of course, you can phone, email or fax anywhere in the world – charges apply. You can also stay connected on the high seas using your own compatible mobile phone with Freestyle Cruising Cellular Service. It’s accessible from most mobile phones and international roaming charges are billed to your home account.
What other services are available?
Beauty parlour and spa services include hair styling, manicures, pedicures, facials and massages in our Mandara Spa Salon.
Gift shops feature duty-free shopping, with fine jewellery, perfumes, clothing, cosmetics and limited drug store items. Laundry & dry-cleaning services, Internet Café, Art auctions and photographs taken throughout the cruise.
Is there a doctor in the house?
A doctor and nurse are on each ship to provide medical care and services at customary charges. Commonly used medications are kept on board and may be prescribed by the ship’s doctor. Please note that medical facilities are designed to provide basic medical care and guests may have to be evacuated at their own expense in the event of serious illness.
What if I’m pregnant?
Norwegian Cruise Line will make every effort to accommodate you, providing you have not entered the 24th
week of pregnancy when the cruise ends.
Can I bring my own alcoholic drinks on board?
Sorry, but we do not allow guests to bring their own alcohol to drink on board. If you purchase alcohol ashore to take home with you, this should be given to the ship’s crew when you get back on board and it will be returned to you at the end of the cruise.
Can I smoke on board?
We want you to be comfortable on board, so most public areas throughout all Norwegian Cruise Line ships are smoke free. If you smoke cigarettes, you can do so in your stateroom, on your balcony, in the casino or designated smoking lounge. If you prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the designated smoking lounge. Also, you can smoke cigarettes, pipes and cigars outside on open decks, (just not around food venues, sport decks, kids’ pool areas and other designated non-smoking areas).
What about gambling on board?
There are casinos with table games and slot machines on board all our ships (except Pride of America). So, if you fancy a flutter, be our guest. Just one thing you have to be 18 or over to gamble. Sorry kids, but that’s the law.
What do I do with valuables on board?
All staterooms and suites have mini-safes. But please note that Norwegian Cruise Line is not and cannot be held responsible for valuables left in staterooms or elsewhere on the vessel.
How do I book shore excursions?
Just go to
www.ncl.co.uk and click on Shore Excursions and you can browse all the exciting choices available in every port of call. Once you’ve chosen the excursions you want to do, it’s a good idea to pre-request them online and you can do this up to five days before sailing. Alternatively, buy them on board at the ship’s Shore Excursion Desk, or just step ashore and do your own thing.
How do I get ashore?
In most ports your ship docks right alongside the quay and you simply walk ashore. At a few ports, shown with an anchor symbol on the itinerary, we drop anchor at sea and you go ashore in the ship’s small boats – called tenders – which offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from the port.
Is there any chance of a rough sailing?
All Norwegian Cruise Line ships are fully stabilised for the smoothest possible cruising and we aim to
plan our itineraries to sail in regions at the times of year when the seas are at their calmest.
Norwegian Cruise Line adheres to the highest standard of shipbuilding in the world. Our Method I construction meets the 1967 Fire Safety Requirements and the 1960 Safety Of Life At Sea Convention regulations. All our ships meet the 2001 SOLAS specifications. Our ships also pass annual inspections by the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Norwegian and Bahamian governments.
Are babysitters available?
Norwegian Cruise Line Kid’s Crew counsellors offer group supervision and activities for children aged 2 to 12 at a nominal cost. Evening hours are 10pm to 1am. In port, the group sitting programme operates from 9am to 5pm. Sorry, but private babysitting is not available.
Can I get my laundry done?
Sure, for a small charge, laundry and dry cleaning services are available on all our ships.
Disembarkaton day – sorry to menton it but all god things mut
come to an end What happens to my luggage?
All suitcases are collected the night before disembarkation and will be waiting for you on the pier, so bring an overnight bag for your essentials.
What happens on the last day of my holiday?
If you have booked cruise only, you will proceed through customs and immigration and continue with your independent arrangements. If your booking is on a Fly-Cruise, we’ll transfer you from your ship to the airport. But if you have a later flight, instead of waiting at the airport, why not book a dayroom or take one of our great shore excursions and see more of the local city and attractions?
