Frequently Asked Questions About Norwegian Cruises

  • What kind of trips can I take with you?

    Norwegian Cruise Lines have multiple kinds of trips available for its guests. It all depends on your taste and preference of your destination.

  • How much would a tour cost?

    Norwegian Cruise Lines have so many different cruises and they offer so many different packages that it is very difficult to suggest a number that will reflect the price of the package of your preferred cruise. But if you are still willing to have an idea of what it may cost to go on a cruise then we would like to mention here that the prices for Norwegian cruise per person could be as low as $200 and may go up to $40000. The variation in the price is because of the fact that low budget cruise may only take you to single destination and may last for only a couple of days and the price may only include accommodation and meals but if you want to have a luxury cruise experience on a longer journey with all the amenities included in the package then you might have to pay higher price for that.

Minimum Age Policy on Norwegian Cruises

Infants sailing onboard a Norwegian vessel must be at least six months of age at time of sailing. However, for voyages that have 3 or more consecutive days at sea, the infant must be at least 12 months old at time of sailing. A minor is defined as an individual under 18 years of age at the time of embarkation. A young adult is defined as an individual between the ages of 18 and 20. Company policy dictates that a passenger under 21 years of age must be accompanied in the same or connecting stateroom by a passenger 21 years of age or older at the time of embarkation. For passengers under the age of 18 traveling with an accompanying adult, who is not the minor's parent or legal guardian, a Parent/Guardian Consent Release Form, that authorizes the minor's travel and further authorizes medical treatment in case of an emergency must be delivered to a Norwegian representative at the pier during check-in. Failure to produce this letter at embarkation may result in boarding being denied, with no refund of cruise fare provided. Note: Two people under the age of 21 may travel together in the same stateroom if they are a married couple and provide proof of marriage to a Norwegian representative at the pier before embarkation.

If you’re 18 through 20 years of age and you have the written consent of your parents or guardian (parent or guardian must be on board), you can purchase beer or wine for yourself only when the ship is sailing in international waters (except on Alaska and Hawai‘i cruises where you must be 21 years of age to consume or purchase alcohol of any kind).* If you want to gamble in our casinos, you must have a valid ID showing you are 18 years or older. If a Guest under the age of 18 wins in the casino and cannot provide proof of age, he or she will not be paid the winnings. There is no casino on Pride of America.

 

Travel Protection Options on Norwegian Cruises

NorwegianCare offers coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption, and trip delay. It provides reimbursement for the prepaid, nonrefundable, unused portion of your vacation if you need to cancel or interrupt your trip due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, injury, job loss, or other covered reasons outlined in the plan.

If your cancellation reason isn't eligible for cash reimbursement under the plan, you will receive a 90% NorwegianCare cruise credit for a future cruise.

Dining on Norwegian Cruises

Dine the Way You Want
We believe lunch is when you're hungry. Same goes for breakfast and dinner. You'll never have to drag yourself out of bed for a forced breakfast seating at 7:45 am or interrupt whatever you're doing so you can make it to a dinner seating precisely at 5:45 pm. We also think you should eat with whomever you want so we'll never choose your dining partners for you. Want to meet someone new? We can arrange that, too.

More Restaurants Than Days of the Week
Don't be misled by other cruise lines' dining 'options.' They really come down to some fast-food choices or one big dining hall where you often have to eat with strangers. NCL has a wide variety of actual restaurants with great, new signature dishes in every one. And, with up to 13 different restaurants and dining rooms on board, like Le Bistro, NCL's exclusive French bistro, and Cagney's, NCL's scrumptious steakhouse, you'll find something to satisfy your every craving, every night of your cruise.

Steak and a dry martini after a great day of snorkeling. Sushi to follow lounging by the pool all day. French or Mediterranean after a long day of shopping. Tapas or Tex-Mex before you hit the casino. Pasta and a nice bottle of wine post-sightseeing. Teppanyaki between swimming and checking out the jazz singer. Made-to-order specials at the buffet's action stations when you're finished with your massage. Burgers and pizza to celebrate your youngest's birthday. Or perhaps the most romantic meal of all served in the private seclusion of your balcony. With so many delicious choices, you can certainly eat whatever you want.

Save the Tie for the Boardroom
Freestyle Cruising is not too dressy, not too casual. We call it 'resort casual.' You'll call it being on vacation. By day, almost anything goes. Khakis, skirts, jeans, casual tops, shorts, or whatever are all fine. Casual is perfect in NCL's restaurants too. Even if you've just been at the pool and don't feel like changing, no worries. Swimwear with a cover-up is fine at the buffet and outdoor restaurant. At night, it's relaxed all over the ship. When you're ready for dinner, it's collared shirts and pants or nice jeans for guys. Slacks or jeans, dresses, skirts and tops are perfect for women. Kids 12 and under are welcome to wear nice shorts in NCL's restaurants whenever. If you want to dress up and add a little glamour when you dine out, feel free - we've reserved a restaurant just for that. And remember to pack a sweater - air conditioning can be chilly.

Best 'Buffet' at Sea
Forget about those cafeteria lines. Our buffet has a huge salad bar and 'action stations' where you can get made-to-order specialties. Start your day with freshly squeezed juices, a Bloody Mary or a refreshing Bellini. Have meat carved exactly to your liking or choose your favorites to be thrown on the grill. Enjoy a pasta dish made with all of your favorite ingredients, then try sweet dessert crepes with fillings of your choice. You can even whet your appetite the day you board with a sampling of dishes from all of NCL's great restaurants, and, when you need a little boost or just a place to relax, head to the Java Café for delicious Lavazza coffee drinks and special desserts.

Lobster Galore
Lobster lovers of the world will rejoice because NCL has lobster dishes every single night. And choose one night of your cruise for an absolute lobster feast.

Don't Go Away Hungry
Breakfast doesn't stop being the most important meal of the day just because it's the last day of your trip. So take your time. Relax. Enjoy a delicious breakfast and start your day off right. Leave the waking up super early, waiting in a crowded public area then waiting some more to the other cruise lines. When it's time to go, we'll let you know.

Fuel Surcharge Policy on Norwegian Cruises

Norwegian has the right to impose a fuel supplement without prior notice if the closing price of West Texas Intermediate Fuel exceeds $65.00 USD per barrel on the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange Index). If a fuel supplement is applied, Norwegian will have the sole discretion to apply the charge to both existing and new bookings, even if those bookings have already been paid in full. This supplement is separate from the cruise fare and will not exceed $10.00 USD per passenger, per day.

Tipping Policy on Norwegian Cruises

Unlike most cruise lines, there is no mandatory or recommended tipping for general service on our ships. While gratuities are not required, our staff is encouraged to go above and beyond, and they are welcome to accept cash tips for exceptional service if you choose to offer them. Certain staff members, such as those in concierge, butler, youth programs, and beverage services, provide personalized service to specific guests and do not share in the overall service charge. We encourage guests to show their appreciation for these individual staff members with appropriate tips. Additionally, a 20% gratuity and service charge will be added to all spa and salon services, beverage purchases, and specialty dining or entertainment-based dining.

Name changes or changes to the departure date are treated as cancellations and are subject to the applicable cancellation fees. Refund requests must be submitted in writing, and the necessary documents must be returned before a refund can be processed. For Air/Sea programs, air tickets are refundable only to Norwegian Cruise Line. Group policies may vary.

No refunds will be provided for any missed days of a Land Package. Cancellation fees for air, land, and other add-ons apply even if the reservation is not fully canceled.

The air deposit made under the Interactive Air Program is non-refundable. Any flight cancellations, stopover changes, or class-of-service upgrades will result in the forfeiture of this deposit. Cancellation fees for ground transfers will apply if removed within 21 days of departure.

Changes to gateways, flight dates, or names will be treated as cancellations and subject to air cancellation fees. Name substitutions and changes to departure dates for cruises, land, and other add-ons will also be considered cancellations and will incur cancellation fees. These cancellation fees are applicable once any payment has been made toward the reservation.

Smoking Policy on Norwegian Cruises

The health and safety of our guests and crew are our top priorities. As such, all indoor public areas on our ships, with the exception of the cigar lounges and casino, are smoke-free. Dedicated outdoor areas have been designated for smoking.

Indoor Areas

  • Cigar Lounge: Smoking cigars is allowed in the designated cigar lounge. Smoking of cigarettes, pipes, electronic cigarettes, and vapor devices is not permitted in the cigar lounge. On Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Sun, Norwegian Star, and Pride of America, cigar and pipe smoking is only allowed in designated outdoor areas as these ships do not have a cigar lounge onboard.

  • Casino: On Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Joy, and Norwegian Encore, there is a designated smoking room within the casino. On all other ships, active casino players are permitted to smoke cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and vapor devices in the casino during gaming hours. Cigar and pipe smoking is not allowed in the casino.

  • Staterooms: Smoking of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, electronic cigarettes, and vapor devices is prohibited in staterooms and on balconies. A cleaning fee of $250 USD will be charged to your onboard account if smoking is detected. If cigarette burns are found on furniture, linens, towels, or carpeting, guests will be charged for the damages. Guests in Garden Villas are permitted to smoke in their private garden and on their private sun decks.

Outdoor Areas

Smoking (including cigars, pipes, electronic cigarettes, and vapor devices) is not permitted in or near food venues, jogging tracks, outdoor sports venues, children’s pool areas, Vibe Beach Club, Posh Beach Club, or The Waterfront.

The Haven: On ships with The Haven complex, smoking is not allowed in the Haven courtyard, but it is permitted on the Haven Sun Deck area (forward) on Breakaway Class and Breakaway Plus Class ships.

Ship-Specific Smoking Areas

We have taken several cruises on Norwegian, but this is our first time on one of the new Prima class ships. All I can say is "Wow!". We loved the new design with more intimate spaces for people to gather. The ship seems much less crowded with more spots for people to spread out. Being on this ship will make it difficult to go back to one of the older ships.

We adventured into taking a cruise (Norwegian Sky) in the south China seas touring the eastern islands, an area where we had no experience. The experience was enlightening, felt safe all the way. Only the tour guides we had in Vietnam were disappointing with their weak performance english knowledge, but must give then an 8 out of 10 for their efforts

This Norwegian cruise was an excellent choice if you want to see the major Caribbean islands. Starting at San Juan's port and a 7 day trip to other islands. Well worth the time and money spent.
