Let Norwegian Cruise Line book your flight for you. The agents working for the cruise line can get you deeply discounted rates on your flight that you won't find on the internet. When you land, a representative from the cruise ship will be there to take you to the ship or a nearby hotel, if your cruise starts the next day. You will then be transferred to the ship for embarkation. Once the representative has your luggage, you will not have to worry about them again, and they will be waiting for you in your cabin on the ship.
Check-in online and print your travel documents. This will save you a lot of time at the port. You will be able to print all of your necessary documents, known as eDocs. When you get to the counter, simply present your passport and eDocs to the gate agent and you will be processed quickly. You will be handed your key card, which you will need to get into your room and back onto the ship after a shore excursion. It is your payment card for all on-board shopping and activities not included in your package.
Book your shore excursion in advance. The most popular shore excursions get sold out very quickly.
Book a cruise on a newer ship. Norwegian has 11 ships, but the newest ships have the most space, the latest technology and the best amenities, restaurants and special experiences.
