114 BOOKING CONDITIONS These Booking Conditions should be read carefully prior to booking. They prescribe the basis on which any NCL (Bahamas) Ltd. booking may be accepted and constitute the Contract of Carriage. With your booking and the announcement of these contract terms, they will become part of the contract. In addition, scheduled flights with international airlines are subject to the airlines' conditions of carriage, which will be available upon request from your travel agent or on our website. Please also refer to the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of this brochure or on our website where you will find all essential information about your holiday. 1 TRAVEL CONFIRMATION The travel confirmation of NCL (Bahamas) Ltd., trading as Norwegian Cruise Line (hereafter Norwegian), is the acceptance of your booking request. Your booking request is based on the information and the "Frequently Asked Questions" section contained in this brochure, respectively on our website. Accepting the booking request results in a travel contract between yourself as well as all other participants who are mentioned on the confirmation and Norwegian. The travel confirmation contains the significant details of your booked services. Should the services in the travel confirmation differ from those in the booking request then a new offer is being presented by Norwegian. In this case you have 7 days in which to accept the new offer. During this period the offer remains legally binding for Norwegian. Should you accept the new offer in writing, via website, e-mail or any external booking system within 7 days or make a payment or begin your travel then the travel contract will be completed on this basis. 2 PAYMENT 2.1 Please observe the dates of payment on Norwegian's confirmation/invoice. A delayed payment may result in the cancellation of your holiday. 2.2 A security note is included within the confirmation/invoice which shows that Norwegian is insured against the risk of insolvency with Reise Garant GmbH. This security note certifies the right to claim directly from the insurer in case of insolvency or bankruptcy of Norwegian. 2.3 Upon delivery of the security note, the following deposit immediately becomes payable per person. 1- to 5-night cruise 20 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person; 20 % for children up to 17 years of age. 6-night cruise and longer 10 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person; 10 % for children up to 17 years of age. 2.4 For Garden Villas (category H1/S1) and upper suite staterooms (categories H2-H9, SA and SB) different payment conditions apply. The following deposit immediately becomes payable per person: Category H1/S1: 20 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; Categories H2-H9, SA and SB: 20 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants. 2.5 Full payment must be credited on mentioned Norwegian account no later than 30 days before the date of travel without further prompting by Norwegian. If a reservation is made within 30 days of the commencement of the holiday, full payment will be immediately due after receipt of the confirmation, provided the security note has been delivered. For Garden Villas (category H1/S1) and upper suite staterooms (categories H2H9, SA and SB) full payment is due 90 days before the date of travel. Delivery by Norwegian of the complete and specified travel documents is concurrent with payment in full. For bookings made less than 14 days prior to sail date, only credit card payments will be accepted by Norwegian. 3 TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Travel documents will be delivered once payment is complete. If the balance due is not transferred to Norwegian's account before the date of travel (payments to the travel agency you booked with have the effect of discharging the debt) the passenger will not be authorized to travel, instead Norwegian may charge a cancellation fee as compensation according to point 6.1. You are free to prove that no costs or considerably lower costs were incurred. Norwegian shall not accept a passenger if the balance payment has not been made before the date of travel, even if the security note has been delivered. Travel documents are WWW.NO.NCL.EU made available in the form of eDocs. For specially requested paper tickets a service and postage fee of EUR 20 per person will apply. Thus, Norwegian expressly reserves the right for price adjustments for these reasons. 4 Under certain lawful circumstances, Norwegian reserves the right to pass on any increases in the costs of transportation, taxes, accommodation and exchange rates, provided passenger's date of travel is more than four months after completion of contract. This is applicable exclusively for fare changes where cost factors were subject to unforeseeable changes after the conclusion of the contract. Significant and unpredictable reasons for a price increase: examples include, but are not limited to, the increase in public taxes or dues, the increase in value-added tax, changes in the world oil prices, changes in airport tax or harbour dues, or, in particular cases, a more than 20 % increase in the EURO vs. U.S.-Dollar exchange rate. To the same extent an adjustment of the agreed travel fare is permitted should there be a change in the official transport rates. As proof of the legitimacy of a price change Norwegian will provide the passenger certification of each cost and rate increase. In case of alterations of prices or services, Norwegian will contact you immediately but no later than 21 days prior to the scheduled sailing date. Increases after that date are not allowed. In the instance of any increase in price equivalent to 5 % or more of the original travel fare, Norwegian offers guests the right to either withdraw from the contract free of charge or to request the participation in an alternative cruise, provided Norwegian is able to offer such travel out of its cruise programme without additional expenses. Passengers have to assert their rights against Norwegian immediately after Norwegian has informed the passenger about price alterations. SERVICES AND PRICES The scope of contractual services to be offered to the passenger corresponds to the description in the brochure and on our website www.no.ncl.eu as well as the stipulated details in the travel confirmation. The same applies to the travel costs to be paid by the passenger. All cruise prices stated in this brochure are based on valid rates at time of printing (September 2016) and represent the lowest available price per person in double occupancy (Studios (category T1) in single occupancy) for the stateroom category specified (Inside, Oceanview, Balcony etc.). For the available price of your desired stateroom category and travel date at the time of your booking please contact your travel agency or the Norwegian reservations team or visit www.no.ncl. eu/prices. All declarations stated in the booking confirmation are binding for Norwegian. Alterations and subsidiary (alterations, special requests, additions) agreements to the contractual services require specific, written confirmation by Norwegian. 5 SERVICE & FARE CHANGES 5.1 Service Changes 5.1.1 Service Changes before conclusion of contract Norwegian reserves the right, for justifiable reasons, to make changes to the brochure details or the holiday advertisement prior to the agreement being concluded. Norwegian would inform the passenger of these changes prior to booking. In the case of cancellation of a scheduled flight by the airline or, for example, in a case of non-compliance with the flight schedule of the airline, a change of airline, aircraft or of the arrival and departure airport may be necessary. Norwegian reserves the right to make such changes and alterations. According to the EU regulation on informing air transport guests of the identity of the operating air carrier, Norwegian is bound to inform the customer about the identity of the operating air carrier and all performances of services within the booked holiday immediately at time of booking. Alterations to the cruise itineraries are possible, e.g. due to official regulations, particular shipping conditions, medical emergencies, or when, due to adverse weather conditions or in the interest of the safety of the guests, the captain decides to alter the route. The captain makes the decisions on necessary itinerary changes and/or travel times. 5.1.2 Service Changes after conclusion of contract Individual service changes and deviations from the contractual contents of the travel contract, which become necessary after conclusion of contract and which were brought about contrary to good faith on behalf of Norwegian are permitted so far as the changes and deviations are not considerable and do not impair the overall form of the holiday. The overall form of the holiday is considered impaired if its value or quality as implied by the customary use or the use as stipulated by the contract is made void or to a substantial degree diminished. This is determined taking into account the price, duration and date of travel. Norwegian is obliged to inform passengers of possible changes. The changed services replace the original contractual obligation. Eventual warranty claims will remain unaffected if the service replacement is inadequate. Should such service changes make the overall form of the cruise holiday unacceptable, Norwegian offers the passenger the right to either change the booking or withdraw from the contract free of charge. Passengers also have the right to request an equivalent alternative Norwegian cruise holiday, provided Norwegian is able to offer such a cruise holiday without additional expenses. Passengers must assert their rights arising from contract changes or cancellations in writing and immediately following Norwegian's declaration of the changes. 5.2 Fare Changes 5.2.1 Fare Changes before conclusion of the contract The fares listed are correct at the time of printing (September 2016). They are binding for Norwegian. Norwegian can declare alterations of the travel fares different from the brochure prior to conclusion of the contract. A price adjustment is permissible especially for the following reasons: 1. An increase in the costs of transportation, charges for specific services such as harbour dues or airport taxes, or a change in the exchange rates affecting the holidays in question after publication of the brochures; 2. If, after the publication of the Norwegian brochure, the cruise and/or travel package and/or hotel programme advertised in the relevant Norwegian brochure and which you wish to book is only available upon the purchase of additional places. 5.2.2 Fare Changes following conclusion of the contract 6 CANCELLATION, BOOKING CHANGES, REPLACEMENTS, NAME CHANGES AND PROCESSING FEES 6.1 Cancellation by the passenger Passengers can cancel their contract at any time before the date of travel. As means of proof, cancellations should be made in writing. The cancellation notice is effective upon the date of receipt by Norwegian or by your travel agent. Should the passenger cancel their booking or not commence the holiday, Norwegian reserves the right to levy charges for made travel provisions and expenses incurred. When calculating the cancellation, Norwegian takes into account the services saved and the possible other use of the services. Norwegian may claim cancellation fees expressed as a percentage of the travel fare according to the amount of notice given between cancellation date and departure date, as listed below. Passengers are free to prove to Norwegian that Norwegian has suffered no loss or a considerably slighter loss than what they are claiming for. 6.1.1 Cancellation fees per person: 1- to 5-night cruise Up to 31 days before departure: 20 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 30-22 days before departure: 35 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 21-15 days before departure: 50 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 14-8 days before departure: 75 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 7 days and less before departure: 95 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants. 6-night cruise and longer Up to 31 days before departure: 10 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 30-22 days before departure: 35 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 21-15 days before departure: 50 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 14-8 days before departure: 75 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 7 days and less before departure: 95 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants. 6.1.2 For Garden Villas (category H1/S1) and upper suite cabins (categories H2-H9, SA and SB) different cancellation fees per person apply: Up to 91 days before departure: 20 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 90-30 days before departure: 45 % of the travel fare for 1st to 8th person, children and infants; 29-15 days before departure: 65 % of the travel fare for 1st to http://www.no.ncl.eu http://www.no.ncl.eu/prices http://www.no.ncl.eu/prices http://WWW.NO.NCL.EU
