Norwegian Cruise Line is NCL's new app where guests can access an array of information, pre-cruise and during the cruise.
The Norwegian Cruise Line app offers the ability to:
- Complete online check-in & upload documents
- Make onboard reservations
- Book shore excursions
- View your itinerary
- See payments, credits, and purchases all in one place
- View reservation & stateroom number
- + more!
This new app is free to download and no Wi-Fi minutes are required to use while sailing! For more info, visit Norwegian's Mobile Apps page.
We'll provide a full copy of the schedule in your stateroom on embark 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!

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.
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 they will ensure your beds are arranged to your preference before evening turn down.
I'm on board, now what?
Cabins
Cabins Will Be Ready by 2:00pm
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
Prefer to Use Cash for Onboard Purchases?
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.

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!) approximately 7-10* days after debarkation.
*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 7, AFT) 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 bags
Ditch those heavy 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
Breeze through 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 any costume 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 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.
*If you have purchased the Unlimited Open Bar Package, you will not be charged the corkage fee. You will still be required to check your wine at the terminal prior to boarding.
