Every guest needs to have proper documentation to board the ship.

The Port of Miami Terminal Address is:

We'll tell you exactly which terminal to go to on embarkation morning!

Please note that with the exception of wine and champagne, all guests are prohibited from bringing alcohol on board our ships.

The following corkage fees apply, per bottle, for any wine or champagne brought on board. 

750 ml Bottle: $15.00 USD

1,000 ml Bottle: $20.00 USD

1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00 USD

To speed up the process of checking your wine or champagne at the port, print out this form and bring it with you.

Smoking is prohibited indoors, in staterooms and balconies, as well as outdoor dining areas, and other various outdoor areas on the ship. This includes regular cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars or pipes.

Smoking is only permitted on the Port side of the Pool Deck (Decks 12 and 13), in the casino (limited to those engaged in active game play during gaming hours), and on the Port Side of Deck 7.

Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 USD cleaning charge added to your onboard account.

Check out our helpful packing list here to make sure you're all set!

Don't forget to bring your laminate and Deck Wars lanyard that we mailed to the lead passenger of your cabin. The pouch on your lanyard is the perfect place to store your keycard and schedule!

Review what to leave behind while you're packing your suitcase.

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. 

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
