Once everyone in your cabin has completed online check-in with Norwegian, you can print out your eDocs.

This option is available on Norwegian's website up to 72 hours prior to sailing.

You are not required to purchase a beverage package - they're totally optional! However, if you're interested in any of the available packagesyou can save as much as 25% off the onboard price if you purchase prior to sailing! Packages can be purchased through your Sixthman account.

Tips for the Terminal

Passport/Edocs

Passport/Edocs

To check in at the Port of Miami and board the ship, you must have proper documentation. Do not place it in your checked bag. Take it with you into the cruise terminal as you'll need to present it at the check in counter. You will not be allowed to board the ship without proper documentation.

If you printed out your eDocs, have them handy when you arrive at the port. It will help speed up the check in process!

If you were unable to print your eDocs prior to embarkation day (November 4th), please proceed to the port with proper documentation. You will still be able to board the ship even if you don't have your eDocs. 

Check your bags

Check your bags

Lighten your load! Check your bags with a porter before you enter the cruise terminal for easy boarding.

Bags will be delivered to your room by 8:00pm ET so be sure to keep anything you might need in your carry on bag (passport, medicine, etc.).

 *Please note that curbside porters are not employees of Norwegian and it’s customary to tip them $1 per bag

Security

Security

You can keep your shoes on but belts and laptops will need to go into a bin for screening. Also, wine and champagne need be taken out. Just like at the airport, throw away open drink containers, and empty your pockets.

For your theme night attire, please keep in mind that anything that may look like a weapon may be seized by security agents so it's better to leave those items safely at home.

Bringing Wine?

Bringing Wine?

If you brought wine or champagne, stop at the table immediately after security to pay the corkage fee of $15.00 each for a 750 ml Bottle or $30.00 each for a 1,500 ml Magnum. Yes, you still have to pay the corkage fee if it's a twist off bottle of wine.

Onboard Spending

Onboard Spending

All purchases on the ship are made with your Norwegian keycard. As you complete check in at the Port of Miami, you will be asked to put down a method of payment for all your onboard purchases. All purchases you make on the ship will be tied to this method of payment. If you're setting up a cash account, you will do that on the ship but for credit cards, you will set that up in the cruise terminal.

Read up on all the details here.

I'm on board, now what?

High Five

High Five

Nothing says your vacation has officially started like a high five from our Sixthman team! Your cruise Warrior, Sixthman Carlee, will be standing at the top of the gangway waiting to high five each and every one of you as you board the ship!

Cabins

Cabins

The ship's crew will make an announcement over the loudspeaker when all cabins are ready and that happens around 2:00pm.

Remember, should you choose to check your bags outside the cruise terminal, know that they may be delivered as late as 8:00pm, so keep items you’ll need until then in a carry-on.

Cash Accounts

If you choose to settle your account with cash, a minimum deposit of $150.00 USD will be required. To set up your cash account, please visit Norwegian Guest Services (located in the Atrium, Deck 7, MID) as soon as you board the ship.

No, all concerts on the cruise are general admission. You're free to come and go as you please!

No problem! Visit Norwegian Guest Services in the Atrium (Deck 7, MID). They're open 24 hours and can replace your keycard.

Pro-tip: Norwegian's guest services team can also let you know your onboard spending balance at any time.

Use decks 7 and 12—you can walk all the way from the front to the back of the ship on these decks. Then take the FWD (front), MID, or AFT (back) elevators or stairs up or down.

Tradewinds boutiques are located on Deck 7, FWD. They're stocked with lots of the amenities you just can't live without.

Ring your stateroom steward at "00", and he or she will ensure your beds are arranged to your preference before evening turn down.
