112 over). We do not have lifeguards on duty; all children under 12 must have adult supervision. For safety reasons children must not be left unattended on board when going ashore. WHAT ABOUT GUESTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS? We welcome guests with special needs. Guests who have mobility impairments should travel with someone who will take responsibility for any assistance needed during the cruise and in the event of an emergency. We have a number of staterooms per ship that are wheelchair accessible with grab rails in the bathrooms, lower sinks and toilets, shower seats, raised beds, adjustable hanging rods in wardrobes, tilting mirrors and extra wide doors for easy access. If you do use a wheelchair, you must bring your own and it must be collapsible. If you do not wish to bring your own wheelchair on board, please contact our U.S.-based supplier Special Needs at Sea on 001 954 585 0575 to arrange delivery of one to the ship. All wheelchairs and scooters must be stored in your stateroom; they cannot be left in the hallway or any other public area. All guests who require medical equipment to be brought on board must advise Norwegian Cruise Line before sailing. Failure to do so may result in equipment not being cleared before departure. To ensure the safety of our guests and crew, wheelchairs may not be used to transfer from the ship to a tender. Guests in wheelchairs may consequently not be able to participate in certain activities or shore excursions in tender ports. For hearing-impaired guests, we have staterooms with vibrating alarm clocks and a flashing light system alerting guests to fire alarms. For the vision-impaired, we allow registered guide dogs on all Norwegian Cruise Line ships (airline and international quarantine restrictions may apply and should be checked before booking your cruise). Guests who need oxygen or require oxygen therapy are welcome on all Norwegian Cruise Line ships; however, you must supply your own oxygen. U.S.-based Special Needs at Sea is the only company allowed to deliver and supply oxygen to Norwegian Cruise Line ships. Let us know at the time of booking that you'll be bringing oxygen on board, then contact Special Needs at Sea at 001 954 585 0575 to arrange delivery to the ship. Any physical challenge or medical condition that requires special treatment or attention must be reported to Norwegian Cruise Line at the time of booking. For certain conditions we ask for medical declaration and liability forms. Due to unpredictable circumstances at sea, Norwegian Cruise Line must reserve the right to refuse or revoke passage to anyone who, based upon objective standards, is in a physical or mental condition that jeopardises the safe operation of the vessel, who poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others or who may require care beyond that which Norwegian Cruise Line can provide. For guests with diabetes, refrigerators suitable for storing insulin are available in all staterooms except Studios (category T1).

Gluten-free, lactose-free, sodium-free, Kosher and dairy-free diets can also be catered for and must be requested at least two months before your cruise. For further information see www.no.ncl.eu. WHAT IF I'M PREGNANT? Norwegian Cruise Line will make every effort to accommodate you. However, to ensure your medical safety you must complete all travel before the 24th week of pregnancy.

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. Please make sure to arrive at the selected time.

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?
