110 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. All guests please visit www.no.ncl.eu for further details, related forms and internet links. BEFORE YOU CRUISE WHAT DO I HAVE TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A TRAVEL DATE AND STATEROOM? When deciding on your travel date, you should take into account any circumstances or events that may have an influence on your cruise experience, for example school holidays, spring break, local public holidays, special sports events etc. When choosing your stateroom please consider whether you'd like to have for example an oceanview, open balcony or enclosed balcony. Also please consider that some staterooms - especially those on lower decks - may be slightly noisier than others due to the operation of the engines. The same applies to staterooms close to nightclubs, lifts or staircases, kitchen galleys, fitness centre, kids and teens facilities and when tender boats are in operation (see online deck plans for details). WHAT IS A GUARANTEE STATEROOM? A Guarantee stateroom (GTY) is one where there is no stateroom number assigned at the time of booking. A stateroom may be assigned any time after final payment has been received, up to the day of sailing. A Guarantee stateroom guarantees you a stateroom in the category you have paid for (Inside, Oceanview etc.). It does not guarantee deck, location or specific bed arrangements. WHAT IS A BACK-TO-BACK (COMBINED ITINERARY)? When you take more than one cruise in consecutive order, it is called a back-to-back cruise. The cruises can be on the same ship or different ships. There can be no more than a one-day lapse between cruises for it to be considered a back-to-back cruise. Depending on the port and customs regulations, you may be required to disembark and re-embark between sailings, and may be required to complete a Customs Declaration Form after WWW.NO.NCL.EU each cruise. If you disembark while customs is inspecting the ship, you will need to wait until customs has finished before re-embarking. Some entertainment options and dining room menus may be duplicated during the second cruise. WHAT SHALL I PACK? Freestyle Cruising is neither too dressy, nor too casual. In fact, you'll find that there are really only two types of attire you'll need. The atmosphere in the mid-ship dining room, the buffet and most of our speciality restaurants is contemporary, so cruise casual attire is perfect. If you choose the more sophisticated atmosphere of the main dining room or select speciality restaurants, we ask you to wear smart casual attire. Our newest event, Norwegian's Night Out, is the perfect opportunity to get dressed up for an evening of cocktails, fine dining and great entertainment. You may also want to pack allwhite for our iconic White Hot Party or H2GLOW Party. And we recommend packing a sweater/pashmina too as some guests find the air conditioning a bit chilly. As all your suitcases are collected the night before we return home, don't forget to bring an overnight bag for prescriptions and need-to-have items. HOW MANY SUITCASES CAN I TAKE? Each guest is allowed up to two pieces of checked luggage, each with a 22 kg maximum. If travelling by air, remember that airlines do have their own checked baggage and hand luggage restrictions, so please check these before travel. Airlines and Norwegian Cruise Line have limited liability loss, so be sure all baggage and personal belongings are properly insured. Suitcases should be tagged. Medicines in their original containers, jewellery, fragile items, valuables and important documents should be carried in your hand luggage. If you are bringing your wheelchair, check with your airline for any restrictions they may have. WHICH ITEMS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON BOARD? Guests are not allowed to bring any intoxicating liquors/beverages, travel irons, firearms, weapons of any kind, ammunition, explosive substances or any goods of a dangerous nature on board. Animals of any kind are not allowed on board, except service or guide animals, provided the guest notifies Norwegian Cruise Line prior to the cruise of his intention to bring such an animal. Such guests must also agree to take sole responsibility for any expense, damage, injuries or losses associated with or caused by such an animal. WHAT ARE PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS? Guests are responsible for ensuring they fulfil all passport and visa requirements for all countries visited during the cruise and when travelling to and from the port of embarkation/disembarkation. EU citizens need a full e-passport which must be valid for a minimum of six months beyond their return (also applicable for children of any age). A passport is also required for all European sailings (exception: citizens of Schengen States cruising on itineraries that do not leave EU territory). For further information please visit www.no.ncl.eu/visa-requirements. In order to enter the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Programme, each traveller (including children) must present a machine-readable passport (additionally European e-passports issued after October 26, 2006 need to include a chip for biometrical data). Travellers with non-compliant passports must have a visa to travel to the United States. Should you need to obtain a visa, please be sure to apply for a multiple entry visa. The Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) is effective for citizens and eligible nationals of Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) countries to apply for advance authorisation to travel to the United States under the VWP. ESTA stipulates that all Visa Waiver Programme travellers are required to obtain via the internet (https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov) an electronic travel authorisation prior to boarding a carrier to travel by air or sea to the U.S. under the VWP. Countries currently enrolled in the VWP include the UK, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden, among others. ESTA authorisations are valid for multiple entries within two years (or less if the passport expires during this period).
