You'll get a Boarding Day Schedule in the terminal, and then we'll provide a full copy of the schedule in your stateroom on boarding day.
The schedule will be perforated, where you can tear it off and carry it in your lanyard so you'll never miss a minute of the action. You can also check out the schedule here!
Any schedule updates and announcements will be posted on sixthman.net/today and you can access this website for free when connected to the ship's Wi-Fi.
QR codes will also be posted throughout the ship which can be scanned to direct you straight to the updated festival schedule on your phone!
How to get onto the ship's free Wi-Fi to use this resource:
Step 1: In Settings, put your mobile device in AIRPLANE MODE.
Step 2: Connect to the ship's free Wi-Fi (NCLWiFi)
This will bring up the NCL Wi-Fi page. If it does not automatically pull up, navigate to www.nclwifi.com on your internet browser.
Step 3: Click "Login to the NCL App" at the VERY bottom of the screen. This will prompt a green "Device Online" at the top.

Merch
Merch Store Location
Visit our official The Rock Boat Merch Store is located on Deck 6, MID.
Ship Tips
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.
Gift Shops are located on Deck 7, FWD. They're stocked with lots of the amenities you just can't live without.
When completing your online check in, you'll be prompted to pick a terminal arrival time. Please note: this is NOT your boarding time. After checking in at the terminal you'll find a seat and wait until boarding begins, generally after 11:30am ET.
The terminal does NOT have vending machines or any other place to purchase food or beverages. Please plan to grab breakfast before arriving, as boarding will not begin until after 11:30am ET.
I'm on board, now what?
Explore the Ship
Garden Cafe (Deck 12, MID) - Buffet
Great Outdoors (Deck 12, AFT) - Buffet
O'Sheehans (Deck 8, MID) - Pub Fare
Cagney's ($) & Summer Palace hours will be shared closer to sailing.
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.
Cabins
You will not be permitted to enter your cabin if you arrive at the ship before they have completed the cabin housekeeping services. The ship's crew will announce over the loudspeaker when all cabins are ready, and this should happen around 2:30 pm.
Remember, should you choose to check your bags outside the cruise terminal, know that they may be delivered outside of your cabin as late as 8:00 pm, so keep items you’ll need until then in a carry-on.
Ring your stateroom steward at "00", and they will ensure your beds are arranged to your preference before evening turn down.
Cash Accounts
Food
Specialty Dining Options
Eat at one of these specialty dining restaurants for an additional charge. You can make a reservation on board by visiting the Dinner Reservations Desk (Lotus Garden, Deck 7, MID) on Boarding Day until 3:00 PM or any other day in O'Sheehans (Deck 8, MID).
Don't Forget: All cruisers on Sixthman events have access to 50% off specialty dining! No action required! When you dine at any specialty dining restaurant on the ship, your bill at the end of the meal will reflect 50% the price of the NCL cover charge per restaurant. See more about the cover charges HERE.
Safety Briefing
Mandatory Safety Briefing & Muster Station Check-In
All guests are required to review the NCL Mandatory Safety Briefing video before sailing so they know what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency. This video briefing will be a part of your online check-in through your NCL Account.
Once on board, immediately report to your assigned Assembly Station with your keycard to check in. Norwegian staff and Sixthman Crew will be on hand to direct you to the proper location. Checking in at this location is required so that you know the PHYSICAL location of where you will need to go if an emergency happens while sailing.
Event Photos
Keep an eye out around the ship for our Sixthman photographers! They will be wearing Sixthman CREW shirts and will be snapping pics throughout your vacation. These photos will be available for digital download (for FREE!) after your vacation at www.sixthmanphotos.com.
Our photographers are often sailing on several consecutive events so times for photo uploads may vary. Your patience is appreciated!
You will also see NCL photographers set up in different areas and walking around the ship. They will have on an NCL uniform consisting of a polo and their NCL name tag. These photos are available for purchase in the Photo Gallery (Deck 8, MID) while we are sailing. These are no longer available once we debark the ship so be sure to pick yours up by the final day of sailing!
Tips for the Terminal
Check your Luggage
When boarding, carry-on bags should be no larger than approximately 24 inches tall by 18 inches wide. This is comparable to the luggage size restrictions at US airports.
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.
Once you arrive at Cruise Port of Miami, keep an eye out for TRB banners/flags to make sure your in the right place!
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?
Pay Corkage Fees Prior to Check In
If you brought wine or champagne, stop at the table immediately after security to pay the corkage fee.
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. The corkage fee also applies to twist-off bottles.
General Terminal Reminders
To check in at the Port of Miami and board the ship, you must have proper documentation. Do not place these items 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, 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.
You will not be permitted to enter your cabin if you arrive at the ship before they have completed the cabin housekeeping services. The ship's crew will announce over the loudspeaker when all cabins are ready and this should happen around 2:30pm.
Remember, should you choose to check your bags outside the cruise terminal, know that they may be delivered outside of your cabin as late as 8:00pm, so keep items you’ll need until then in a carry-on.
