Festival Schedule
Daily Communication
You’ll pick up your Day One paper schedule when you check in at the terminal. Each morning, we’ll deliver a daily newsletter with the current day's schedule, so you’ll always know what’s coming up. If you happen to misplace your schedule, no worries, extra copies will be available at the Sixthman Guest Services desk (Deck 7, MID).
The schedule will be perforated so 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!
Sixthman.net/Today
Schedule Updates & Announcements
Schedule updates and announcements will be posted on sixthman.net/today.
In order to access the sixthman.net/today website without paying for an onboard wifi package, you will need to be connected to the ship’s FREE WiFi Network (NCLWiFi). The user interface for getting connected to this network changes frequently, so we no longer provide screenshots of how it may appear on your device to reduce confusion or sharing outdated information.
When we are able to confirm how it will appear for your sailing, we will share screenshots of how to navigate getting connected to the ship’s FREE WiFi network before we sail or during Embarkation Day.
Miss an overhead announcement? No worries! Your Sixthman Community Experience Specialist will also post all of their announcements in Sixthman.net/today. These can be found under the "News" tab in the menu drop-down.
Important Hours
Where to Find Important Hours
The hours for our Merch Store, Sixthman Guest Services, Friends of Bill W, and more are listed at the bottom of our schedule.
Merch
Merch Store Location
Visit our official Flogging Molly Cruise Merch Store in Azura Dining Room (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.
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 NCL's guest services desk at “00”, or call your room steward directly at the number listed by your cabin phone! They can ensure your beds are arranged to your preference.
I'm on board, now what?
Cabins
Cabins Will Be Ready around 2:30pm
The ship's crew will make an announcement over the loudspeaker when all cabins are ready and that happens 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.
If you'd like to leave your luggage while waiting for your cabin to be ready, please visit Chin Chin Restaurant (Deck 7, MID) to drop it off.
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 disembarkation.
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 disembark the ship, so be sure to pick yours up by the final day of sailing!
Tips for the Terminal
Check your bags
Check those heavy bags!
Lighten your load! Check your bags with a porter before you enter the cruise terminal for easy boarding.
All the luggage for your cabin may not be delivered at the same time. Please visit the Norwegian Guest Services desk if you have not received your luggage by 8:00pm ET. 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.
Terminal + Security
Once you arrive at the Cruise Port, look for and follow the Flogging Molly Cruise banners/flags.
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.
Please keep in mind that anything that may look like a weapon (like a water gun) may be seized by security agents, so it's better to leave those items safely at home.
Once you've made it through the gates of the Security Gods, you'll be directed to complete your IN-PERSON check-in with NCL Port Agents.
Have your travel documents + ID (passport) in your hand when you approach the counter. You'll receive your NCL Keycard during this time.
This keycard will:
- unlock your cabin door
- be used to pay for purchases on the ship (with whatever payment method you've linked to your personal account)
- be coded to show if you've purchased a beverage package
- It will also inform you of your assigned ASSEMBLY (Muster) Station. See: "Safety Briefing" below for more info about Assembly Stations and the Mandatory Safety Briefing.
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
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 if boarding has not yet begun. Boarding generally begins after 11:30am once the ship is given clearance.
Please arrive at your selected time to avoid lines and overcrowding in the terminal.
Some (but not all) terminals have limited vending machines. Plan to grab breakfast before arriving; boarding may not begin until after 11:30AM.
