Tips for the Terminal

Passport/Edocs

Passport/Edocs

To check in at the Port of Barcelona and board the ship, you must have proper documentation.  Do not place it in your checked bag, keep it on you to take into the cruise terminal to present at the check in counter. You will not be allowed to board the ship without proper documentation.

If you were unable to print your Edocs prior to embarkation day (August 8), then please proceed to the port with proper documentation.

Check your bags

Check your bags

Lighten your load! Check your bags with a porter before you enter the cruise terminal for easy boarding.

Bags will be delivered to your room by 8:00pm ET so be sure to keep anything you might need in your carry on bag (passport, medicine, etc.).

 *Please note that curbside porters are not employees of Norwegian and it’s customary to tip them $1 per bag

Security

Security

You can keep your shoes on but belts and laptops will need to go into a bin for screening. Also, wine and champagne need be taken out. Just like at the airport, throw away open drink containers, and empty your pockets.

Bringing Wine?

Bringing Wine?

If you brought wine or champagne, stop at the table immediately after security to pay the corkage fee of $15.00 each for a 750 ml Bottle or $30.00 each for a 1,500 ml Magnum. Yes, you still have to pay the corkage fee if it's a twist off bottle of wine.

Onboard Spending

Onboard Spending

All purchases on the ship are made with your Norwegian keycard. As you complete check in at the Port of Barcelona, you will be asked to put down a method of payment for all your onboard purchases. All purchases you make on the ship will be tied to this method of payment. If you're setting up a cash account, you will do that on the ship but for credit cards, you will set that up in the cruise terminal.

High Five

High Five

Did you know that we high five every single guest as they board the ship? Your Cruise Warrior, Sixthman Jess, will be standing at the top of the gangway with her high five hand ready to welcome you. It’s one of our favorite Sixthman traditions and our way of letting you know that your vacation has officially begun!

The ship's crew will make an announcement over the loudspeaker when all cabins are ready and that happens around 2:00pm.

Remember, should you choose to check your bags outside the cruise terminal, know that they may be delivered as late as 8:00pm, so keep items you’ll need until then in a carry-on.

No problem! Visit Norwegian Guest Services in the Atrium (Deck 7, MID). They're open 24 hours and can replace your keycard.

Pro-tip: Norwegian's guest services team can also let you know your onboard spending balance at any time.

Use decks 7 and 12—you can walk all the way from the front to the back of the ship on these decks. Then take the FWD (front), MID, or AFT (back) elevators or stairs up or down.

Tradewinds boutiques are located on Deck 7, FWD. They're stocked with lots of the amenities you just can't live without.

Ring your stateroom steward at "00", and he or she will ensure your beds are arranged to your preference before evening turn down.
