Purchases and taxes
Anything brought into the United States that you did not have when you left must be reported or “declared” to the United States government, and a tax, or duty, is charged for each item. This includes anything you may purchase on board or ashore.
Customs allowances may vary depending on the itinerary and whether you’re returning from an EU or non-EU country. For the latest allowances, check with your travel agent or with HM Revenue & Customs. Go to their website at
www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs for more information.
You can also find out more at the Cruise Director’s disembarkation briefing. Check your on board Freestyle Daily for the time and place.
Don’t forget that you are not permitted to carry fresh fruits, meat products, fresh milk products, plants or tortoiseshell products into the U.S.
On board visitors
We’d love to have you show off our ships to your friends, but for security reasons, only ticketed guests can gain entry to our ships.
Refrigerators
Every suite and nearly all staterooms have refrigerators for your convenience (except for Norwegian Spirit, where they are in the suites only, and Norwegian Epic, where they are everywhere but the studios).
Cocktails and cigarettes Drinking
Any guests aged 21 years or older are welcome to purchase and consume any alcoholic beverage on board. With parental consent, those 18 to 20 years old can purchase and consume beer or wine when the ship is in international waters, three miles out of U.S. territorial waters. Parental consent for alcohol consumption can only be given on board, with the accompanying parent or legal guardian present to fill out the form at the Guest Services Desk. Parental consent or any other document filled out prior to the cruise will not be accepted.
Please remember 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. The Freestyle Daily newsletter will list the location and time for pickup. Though we have a great selection of wines available, you are allowed to bring your own wine onboard for a corkage fee.
Smoking
Cigarettes can be smoked inside your stateroom, on your balcony or in the casino. Cigar and pipe smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony is prohibited. Cigarettes, cigars and pipes can be smoked in enclosed cigar bars where available. Smoking is prohibited in all other public interior venues, including all bars, restaurants, conference rooms, corridors, restrooms, staircases and landings. Smoking cigarettes, cigars and pipes is permitted on the open decks as long as it is away from venues serving food, the jogging track, in immediate range of the outdoor sporting venues and the children’s pool areas.
