Before or on the first day of your cruise, you can purchase our Soda, Wine & Beer (Corks & Caps) or Ultimate Beverage Package for unlimited drinks as specified by the package throughout the entire cruise. For further package terms and conditions please check www.ncl.co.uk/already-booked/gifts-and-more. If you have purchased a Fly-Cruise package, economy flights and transfers between the airport, hotel (where applicable) and ship are also included. Check your chosen itinerary for full details. See pages 36-38 or visit www.ncl.co.uk for more information. CAN I PRE-BOOK MY SEAT FOR THE FLIGHTS? Sorry, but due to the nature of the Fly-Cruise booking, seats will only be allocated at check-in, so get there early to ensure you can choose your seat. Only fully fit and able-bodied passengers may occupy exit row seats. These seats may therefore only ever be assigned at the discretion of the airline at check-in. Due to the configuration of the aircraft it may not always be possible to obtain seats together. Norwegian Cruise Line has no control over the allocation of airline seats and cannot guarantee seat requests. ON BOARD WWW.NCL.CO.UK | CALL: 0333 241 2319 WHEN CAN I BOARD THE SHIP? Arrival at the Cruise Terminal: For your comfort and convenience, we recommend that guests do not arrive at the cruise terminal more than one hour prior to the scheduled embarkation time printed on their cruise documents. Due to security regulations, you may not be allowed to enter the cruise terminal before the scheduled embarkation time and may want to avoid waiting in potentially inclement weather as the waiting area outside the cruise terminal may be restricted. Please also note that refreshment facilities and seating at and around the cruise terminal may be limited. During the Online Check-In, you may be asked to select an arrival time at the pier if your booking is Cruise Only. Please make sure to arrive at the selected time. Final Boarding Time: In order to facilitate the embarkation process and the processing of your eDocs, and to comply with government regulations governing departure manifests, all guests are required to complete the Online Check-In at least one day prior to sailing. All guests must complete check-in at the cruise terminal and be on board the ship no later than one hour prior to the departure time noted on their cruise documents or they will not be permitted to sail. Please note that guests who have not filled out their Online Check-In will be required to complete check-in at the cruise terminal at least two hours prior to sailing. Any late arriving guest may join the ship at an approved port of call in the scheduled itinerary. Such guests will be responsible for all applicable fees and travel expenses to that subsequent port of call. Boarding Time in Ports of Call: In all ports of call, it is also the guest's responsibility to be back on board the ship no later than one hour prior to the ship's scheduled departure time. Please be aware that shipboard time may differ from the port of call and it is the guest's responsibility to follow the shipboard time. In the event a guest misses the ship, it will be the guest's responsibility to pay all expenses incurred to rejoin the ship. WHAT ABOUT CURRENCY AND HOW DO I PAY FOR MY EXTRAS ON BOARD? The currency used on board our ships is U.S. $. We've made paying for on-board expenses very easy. When you check in you open a shipboard account by registering a major credit card, Visa® debit or charge card - VISA®, MasterCard®, American Express® or cash passport card*. If you prefer to pay by cash or traveller's cheques, a suggested deposit for a 7-night cruise is $300 per person, $150 per person for cruises up to 6 nights or $450 per person for cruises of 8 nights and more at check-in (subject to change). Then, you simply sign for your personal expenses as you go and they will be charged to your account. *IMPORTANT: Norwegian Cruise Line does not recommend the use of a debit card or cash passport cards as payment for your on-board folio. Please be advised that multiple holds will be placed on your card account based on your on-board purchases. Throughout the voyage incremental holds will be obtained based on your on-board expenditure. This will reduce the amount of available credit on the card or restrict the availability of cash in the checking/ debit account or cash passport card. After settling your on-board folio, these card holds may remain on your account for up to 30 days after the cruise ends. To avoid overdraft charges from your bank, please make sure that you have enough available funds in your account during this hold period. Norwegian will not be responsible for overdraft charges resulting from holds placed on debit card accounts. Authorisation-hold releases are solely within the discretion of your lending institution. This will also apply to cash passports used as a credit card. Personal Cheques or currencies other than the U.S. $ cannot be accepted on board, except on our European cruises where deposits in Euros are accepted. Any excess deposit will be refunded at the end of the cruise in U.S. $. Please note that, should you wish to change this excess deposit to Euros, a foreign exchange fee will apply. Please also keep in mind that it's always worth having a small amount of local currency for immediate expenses on arrival at your destination and for any purchases you make at your ports of call. Traveller's cheques and most major credit cards are accepted in the ports we visit. IS THERE A DOCTOR ON BOARD? A doctor and nurse are on each ship to provide medical care and services at customary charges. Please note that the medical facilities are designed to provide basic medical care and guests may have to be evacuated at their own expense in the event of serious illness. Please be aware that there is no dentist on board. Norwegian Cruise Line does not have the equipment on board to assist guests with any type of dialysis treatment. Please ensure you have the right travel insurance cover. NCLH has its own charging system similar to shoreside facilities in the US and we do follow standard medical care, so please insure you have appropriate travel insurance. CAN I SMOKE ON BOARD? We want you to be comfortable on board, so staterooms and public areas throughout all our ships are smoke-free. If you smoke cigarettes, you can do so in the casino (players only) or in the Cigar Bar (where available). If you prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Also, you can smoke cigarettes, pipes and cigars in outdoor public guest spaces and open decks where designated by the appropriate signage. Please be aware that electronic cigarettes cannot be used in public areas where there is a no smoking policy in force. Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 cleaning charge added to your on-board account. WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND WINE CORKAGE? Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol (terms and conditions may vary on alcoholic beverage packages, please check at the time of booking). With the exception of Alaska and Hawai'i http://www.ncl.co.uk http://www.ncl.co.uk/already-booked/gifts-and-more http://www.ncl.co.uk http://WWW.NCL.CO.UK
