Preparing For Your Cruise
Before you even leave home to travel to your departure port, there are steps you can take to help ensure your embarkation day is a breeze. Learn what travel documents are required for your cruise — doing so as early as possible is best to give yourself time to replace any missing required documents. Unsure if you packed correctly for your vacation? No problem. Remember that checked bags will appear later in the day outside your stateroom, so please pack a carry-on bag with anything you might need before your luggage is delivered.
 

For the smoothest boarding process, Norwegian strongly recommends online check in through your My NCL account before arriving at the pier. Downloading Norwegian’s mobile app is also a must before you board! With the app, you can prebook your onboard activities, dining reservations, shore excursions, and entertainment. Then once onboard, you can use the communications feature to chat with other guests onboard, see daily schedules for what’s happening on the ship, view your account, and much more.
 

Security & Check In
Upon entering the terminal, follow the signs and employees’ directions to proceed through security and check in. After going through security (similar to airport security), you will then go to the check-in counter, regardless of whether or not you already checked in online. However, checking in ahead of time will greatly reduce the amount of time spent at the counter.
 

You’ll need to have your confirmation printout, personal identification, and travel documents ready to show security and check-in counter workers. They will then give you a stateroom keycard, which will be your charge card for onboard purchases. At this time you’ll be required to establish a payment method to set up your onboard account. Then it’s time to board!
