Be sure to check with your travel professional or the appropriate authorities before your trip to determine requirements for inoculations, passports, visas and other mandatory documentation. Cruise refunds may not be issued if you are denied boarding due to lack of proper documents. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced an update to passport requirements for U.S. citizens traveling by sea effective June 1, 2009. Since June 1, 2009, the U.S. Government requires the following proof of citizenship for our guests: for sailings that DeParT from and reTurN to the saMe u.s. port: Guests only need proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo ID (a valid driver’s license with a photo). Proof of Citizenship examples include an original or state-certified copy of a birth certificate, a valid passport, a U.S. passport card, enhanced driver’s license, certificate of naturalization, certificate of citizenship, or a report of birth abroad. for open-jaw sailings oNLy (cruises that DeParT from one u.s. port and reTurN to a different u.s. port such as repositioning cruises): Guests are required to carry a valid passport, U.S. passport card or enhanced driver’s license, as well as have in their possession all relative visas that pertain to their travel itinerary.

If a guest either misses the ship at its scheduled U.S. departure port and needs to travel outside the U.S. to meet the ship, or unexpectedly needs to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of the cruise, a passport would be required to leave or re-enter the U.S. by air. Note: baptismal paper and hospital certificates of birth are not acceptable. a voter registration card or social security card are not considered to be proof of citizenship. for u.s. Naturalized citizens, in the absence of a passport, original Naturalization documents plus a valid picture ID issued by a federal, state or local government agency is required. WHaT sHouLD I PaCK? Freestyle Cruising is not too dressy, not too casual. In fact, you’ll find that there are really only two types of attire you’ll need. Dress cruise casual in the mid-ship main dining room, the buffet and in most specialty restaurants. For women, it includes summer and casual dresses, skirts, regular or capri pants, shorts, jeans and tops. Khakis, jeans, shorts and casual shirts are fine for men. Swimwear is acceptable at the buffet and outdoor restaurant, but a shirt or a cover-up and footwear are required. Wear smart casual if you are eating dinner in the Aft Main Dining Room (our more sophisticated Dining Room) and in Le Bistro, on cruises that are more than five days long. For women, it includes slacks or jeans, dresses, skirts and tops. For men, it’s jeans or slacks with a collared shirt and closed-toed shoes. The exception is on embarkation day, where all dining venues are cruise casual. Traditional Bermuda shorts along with long socks, loafers and a blazer are all acceptable during a Bermuda cruise. We want you to be comfortable, but tank tops for men, flip-flops, baseball caps, visors and jeans that are overly faded, with holes or tears and worn below the hips are not permitted in any of our Main Dining Rooms or specialty restaurants. Kids 12 and under are welcome to wear nice shorts in all our restaurants. You may want to pack a sweater, too—air conditioning can be chilly. Since all your suitcases are collected the night before we return home, don’t forget an overnight bag for prescriptions and need-to-have items. HoW MaNy suITCases CaN I brING? Each guest is allowed up to two pieces of personal luggage on board, with each piece weighing a maximum of 50 pounds. However, if you are traveling by air, ask the airline if it has different restrictions. Airlines and Norwegian Cruise Line have limited liability for loss, so be sure all baggage and personal belongings are properly insured. Suitcases should be tagged. You should hand-carry medication, jewelry or other valuables and important documents. 120 http://www.ncl.com http://www.ncl.com/mycruises
