CANCELLATION POLICY OTHER THAN CANCELLED BY PASSENGER:
Should Sundancer Cruises cancel this sailing, where the passenger is not at fault and has not cancelled in violation
of the terms and conditions set forth above, all sums paid to Sundancer Cruises will be promptly paid to the
passenger, unless the passenger advises Sundancer Cruises in writing after cancellation. This provision does not
apply where Sundancer Cruises has remitted payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier,
without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon service. I n
this situation, Sundancer Cruises must provide the passenger with a written statement accompanied by bank
records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel proof of
current registration of that wholesaler.
NOTE:: It is very rare that the Cruise Line cancels cruises. In the event that the Cruise Line should cancel a cruise
due to unforeseen circumstances, they will notify you immediately. Since every situation is different, Cruise Line’s
upper management will assess the severity of the situation when it happens and act accordingly. In the event of
strikes, lockouts, riots, weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, or for any other reason, the Cruise Line has the
right to cancel, advance, postpone, or deviate from any scheduled sailing or port of call without prior notice. In this
situation the Cruise Line may substitute another ship or port of call. However the Cruise Line is not legally liable for
any loss to guests by reason of the cancellation, advancement, postponement, deviation, or substitution. In addition,
while the Cruise Line attempts to follow our published schedules as closely as possible, the Cruise Line is not
responsible if they cannot adhere exactly to the published times at any of their ports of call. However, they will
attempt to keep all passengers informed of any changes. We recommend that all guests purchase a Vacation
Protection Plan for their peace of mind.
VACATION PROTECTION PLAN:
Cruise Line Vacation Protection Plan is $89.00 each for adults for Inside and Oceanview cabins and $99.00 each
for adults for Balcony cabins. Full coverage details will be sent with your final documents. Click here for more
information. Pricing is different for 14 night sailing.
PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS
As early as Summer 2008, the U.S. government will require all of our guests to be in possession of a valid passport
when sailing on any NCL cruise. Because passport regulations are subject to change, we encourage you to visit
www.travel.state.gov for the latest requirements and overseas information before you sail.
What kind of travel documents, visa or passport do I need? The following regulations are currently in effect.
CRUISING - FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN CITIZENS:
Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Alaska, Mexican Riviera, Or Canada & New England Cruises
You only need proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo I.D. or a valid driver's license with a photo. Proof

recently expired passport, certificate of naturalization, certificate of citizenship, or a report of your birth abroad.
NCL strongly recommends that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. If you miss your ship at its
scheduled U.S. departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to meet your ship, or should you unexpectedly
need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of sailing, a passport would be required to leave or re-
enter the U.S. by air.
AIR TRAVEL - FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN CITIZENS:
For all air travel into the U.S. from Canada or any other international location, you'll need a valid passport.
AIR AND CRUISE TRAVEL - FOR ALL CITIZENS OTHER THAN U.S. OR CANADIAN:
All guests must carry a valid passport (valid at least 6 months from the departure date from the U.S.), and if
necessary, a multiple entry visa is required for entry into the United States (B-2 Visitors Visa), or a visa waiver.
Please be sure to check with the proper agencies and authorities (such as your local immigration office) before you
sail because we can't board you without the proper documents.
FOR ALL NCL GUESTS:
U.S. regulations pertaining to required travel documents are updated frequently. The information provided here is
meant to offer some guidelines for travel, but please note that these details may not be complete. To be sure you
have the latest information, check with your travel professional or the proper authorities (such as your local
immigration office) before your cruise to make sure you have the proper documentation. Cruise refunds may not be
issued if you're denied boarding due to lack of proper documents.

WHAT IS FREESTYLE CRUSING?
You keep seeing Freestyle Cruising and you don't know exactly what it is, right? That's because we're the only
cruise line that offers anything like it. Let's start with the fact that there are no fixed dining times. And you never
have to eat in the same restaurant twice. Really. We won't ask you to sit with strangers like on other cruise lines.
And, you only have to dress up if you want to. We've created that kind of freedom throughout the ship with a ton of
fun things to do, or not do. It's NCL's Freestyle Cruising. Where you're free to whatever.
FREESTYLE DINING:
No other cruise line offers 13 different restaurants on board a single ship. Heck, no other cruise line even comes
close. Steak, sushi, Teppanyaki, tapas, French, Mediterranean, Asian Fusion, Italian, Tex-Mex, buffets, pizza. Your
choices are endless.
DINE WHERE YOU WANT
With up to 13 restaurants, you'll find what you're in the mood for. We apologize for the "What do you feel like for
dinner?" conversation ahead of time. If you just can't decide, there's also 24-hour room service.
DINE WHEN YOU WANT
Our restaurants are open for dinner from 5:30pm to midnight with seating until 10:00pm. Do your thing and catch
dinner when you're hungry, not when the dinner bell rings. It's totally up to you.
DINE WITH WHOMEVER YOU WANT
Not everyone wants to eat dinner with people they don't know. We say you're welcome to enjoy dinner with the
people you came on vacation with. Or, if you'd like to meet new people, we'll gladly
What time is dinner? What time would you like it to be? NCL's exclusive Freestyle Cruising lets you choose. We
offer open-seating dining in a variety of restaurants and cafés with individual menus, so it's your choice. You can
have lunch or dinner with friends in one of the elegantly appointed restaurants or reserve a table for two in an
intimate bistro.
Sundancer will be providing details on dining with our group for those interested as we get closer to sailing.
Order an omelette prepared just the way you like it from the breakfast-buffet chef. Indulge yourself with delectable
selections from the Chocoholic Buffet." There are special menus for youngsters and special entrées from Cooking
Light®. Special meals are available including low-calorie, vegetarian, no MSG, low/no sodium and low/no cholesterol
meals, as well as sugar-free and fat-free desserts. All of our restaurants are non-smoking. Most specialty
restaurants require a per person cover charge or offer a` la carte pricing. Reservations are recommended and can
be made on board.
FREESTYLE ACCOMMODATIONS
It's your first anniversary. It's a vacation with your best friends. Or a big family reunion. Well, it's all good because
we've created the most flexible staterooms and suites on the high seas. Huge 3-bedroom rooftop Garden Villas.
Cozy Inside Staterooms. Expandable Family Suites. And everything in between.
FREESTYLE ACTIVITIES
Looking for fun? On board, you can go bowling or to the spa. Try out the bungee trampoline or yoga. Karaoke or
kick-boxing. Or go swimming, spinning, shopping or jogging. Off the ship, try our hiking, biking, diving, snorkeling,
surfing, golfing, touring and partying Shore Excursions.
FREESTYLE DISEMBARKATION
With traditional cruising, getting off the ship can be a lot of "hurry up and wait." Not with NCL. We thought that
maybe sleeping in and having a quiet breakfast or a quick workout might be a better alternative. So we say, relax
any way you like, until it's really time to go.
SPA & FITNESS
How about a mid-morning run 10 stories above the ocean? We built our ships with jogging and walking tracks, great
spas for the perfect massage, basketball courts and fitness centers open 24 hours with televisions, treadmills, and
ellipticals, free weights, special classes, and more. Here a just a few of our treatments that will make you ooh and
aah.

CASINO AT SEA
Nowhere on earth can you get the kind of gaming rewards we give, with the added bonus of Freestyle Cruising at
the same time. With NCL's Casinos at Sea Players Club*, you earn reward points, called Seabucks, based on your
level of play. And those Seabucks can be used while you're on your current cruise for anything from spa treatments
to dinners to simply dollars off your final bill or a future cruise. While you're in the casino, enjoy all the gaming tables
you're used to, aboard the only cruise line that has certified slots. And when you're not in the casino, you're free to
dine when you want, where you want and do what you want. Basically, you're free to whatever. To find out more, call
1.877.PLAY.NCL or click here. And be prepared to reward yourself.
GOLF
After playing 18 holes in paradise, it's tough finding accommodations to match. Unless, of course, you're on
Norwegian Cruise Line. As the newest partner of the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour we give you golf like no one
else. Relax and enjoy your golf getaway to premiere courses like Mauna Lani in Hawaii and Port Royal in Bermuda.
In fact, there's a new course and new experience waiting in every port. And NCL makes it really easy. So, whether
it's hitting a bucket of balls at sunrise or playing till you can't swing anymore. When it's Freestyle Cruising®, you're
free to whatever.
INTERNET CAFÉ
Be sure to give your friends and family back home email address or you can give them your personalized Cruise-

GUESTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:
NCL strongly believes that guests with special needs should have the amenities they need to enjoy their cruise. As
such, each ship offers designated staterooms with wider doorways and bathrooms that will accommodate
wheelchairs and staterooms with lights and under-pillow vibrating alarms for guests with hearing impairments. Guide
dogs are permitted on all NCL ships. Many staterooms have refrigerators that can be used to store medications that
must be kept cold.
Any physical disability or request requiring special treatment or attention should be reported to NCL's Group Event
Coordinator Department when the reservation is made, so that appropriate accommodations can be provided. NCL
reserves the right to refuse or to revoke passage to anyone in such physical or mental condition as to be unfit for
travel or who, in the judgment of the carrier, may be a danger to themselves or others.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What does my cruise fare include?
Your cruise fare entitles you to accommodations, meals and entertainment aboard ship. Certain specialty
restaurants are available with either nominal cover charges or fixed price menus and à la carte pricing in addition to
the standard dining program. Items of a personal nature are not included, such as alcoholic beverages and soft
drinks, spa treatments, indoor pool relaxation areas, certain specialty exercise classes, laundry, photographs,
casino, ship-to-shore phone, email, Internet, fax and Shore Excursions (including all Dive In" programs).

How do I pay for onboard expenses?
For your convenience, all shipboard expenses are charged to NCL's special onboard credit program. Sign up on the
first day of your cruise, by establishing your method of payment with Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®,
Discover®, Diners Club®, travelers checks or cash. If you choose to settle your account with cash, a deposit will be

You may cash travelers checks at the Reception Desk. Currency exchange, at prevailing rates, is available on some
cruises. Travelers checks and most major credit cards are accepted in the ports we visit. Proper ID is required when
cashing travelers checks. We recommend you carry a small amount of local currency when visiting foreign ports,
although credit cards are commonly accepted in shops and restaurants.
How many suitcases can I bring?
Each person is allowed up to 200 pounds of personal luggage on board. However, if you are traveling by air, ask
the airline if it has different restrictions. Airlines and NCL have limited liability for loss, so be sure all baggage and
personal belongings are properly insured. Suitcases should be securely locked and tagged. You should hand-carry
medication, jewelry or other valuables and important documents. Many airlines are not charging a fee for a second
checked piece of luggage.
What about smoking, drinking and gambling on the ship?
We want you to be comfortable on board, so public areas throughout all NCL ships are smoke free. If you smoke
cigarettes, you can do so in your stateroom, on your balcony, in the casino or Cigar Bar (where available). If you
prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Also, you can smoke
cigarettes, pipes and cigars outside on open decks (just not around food venues, sport decks, kids' pool areas and
other designated non-smoking areas).
NCL permits guests between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty (20) to purchase and personally consume wine
and beer while on NCL ships with the consent of an accompanying parent or legal guardian on the same sailing
once the vessel is outside the US state territorial waters (3 miles out). Complete details and special consent form
are only available onboard at the Reception Desk. *If you want to gamble in our casinos, you must have a valid ID
showing you are 18 years or older. If a guest under the age of 18 wins in the casino and can not provide proof of
age, he or she will not be paid the winnings. There are no casinos on our ships in Hawaii.
* NCL encourages the responsible use of alcohol and accordingly reserves the right to permanently or temporarily
revoke the drinking privileges of any guest who violates NCL's Guest Code of Conduct or who is deemed a danger
to himself, herself or others by vessel management. Continued abuse of alcohol while sailing and/or violation of
NCL's alcohol policy may result in immediate disembarkation.
Will I need an electrical converter?
The current on board is 110 volts AC. However, some high-voltage hair dryers, electric rollers and electric razors
may require a converter.
Are there any pool regulations?
According to United States Public Health (U.S.P.H.) regulations, no diapers of any kind are permitted in the
swimming pools or jacuzzis, including those marketed as "swimmers."
What if I'm pregnant?
NCL will make every effort to accommodate you, providing you have not entered the 24th week of pregnancy when
the cruise ends. Please include your cruise details in an email to the Access Desk with a medical certificate
establishing your due date prior to your cruise.

Norwegian's excursions can be viewed on line. An updated listing of Shore Excursions are available approximately 3
months prior to the first sailing of each cruise destination season. If you are booked on a cruise, a Shore Excursions

What about Tipping?
Gratuities
Guests should not feel obliged to offer a gratuity for good service. However, all of our staff are encouraged to "go
the extra mile," and so they are permitted to accept cash gratuities entirely at the discretion of our guests who wish
to acknowledge particular staff members for exceptional or outstanding service. In other words, there is genuinely
no need to tip but you should feel free to do so if you have a desire to acknowledge particular individuals. Also,
certain staff positions provide service on an individual basis to only some guests. We encourage those guests to
acknowledge good service from these staff members with appropriate gratuities. For example, for guests purchasing
bar drinks the recommended gratuity is 15 percent. For guests purchasing spa treatments the recommended
gratuity is 18 percent. Similarly, for guests using concierge and butler services, we recommend they consider
offering a gratuity commensurate with services rendered.
Where can I keep my valuables?
Security envelopes and/or safe deposit boxes are available from the ship's purser at no charge. Most staterooms
and suites have mini-safes. Please note, however, that NCL is not responsible for valuables left in staterooms or
elsewhere on board.
Are visitors allowed on board?
Due to security reasons, unfortunately, no.
What is the Latitudes® program?

What Should I Pack?
To give you an idea of what to toss into your suitcase, we've got answers to some of your questions like:
Can I wear something casual to dinner?
Do people dress up at night?
Can I wear my swimsuit day and night?
The answer to all the above is "yes" - with Freestyle Cruising, you're pretty much welcome to wear whatever,
whenever. Our philosophy is "resort casual" and with the widest range of dining venues, tons of entertainment
options and bars & lounges, you'll find there are places for your style all over our ships, day and night.
Daytime, it's basically all fine since we know you're probably headed to the pool or out for a fun Shore Excursion.
Casual shorts, jeans, tops and sundresses are welcome everywhere. You can even wear your swimsuit to the
poolside grill or the buffet.
Resort casual dress gets you into every venue at night too. Some people like to add a jacket, or when celebrating a
special occasion, get all decked out. This too is welcome everywhere. And if you're tired from a long fun day and
just want to wear shorts; our buffet is the place for a casual dinner. Some people prefer nice jeans. They're welcome
in many of our restaurants as well, but not in all. It's your vacation on NCL so dress comfortably, and you'll find a
venue that suits your style.
Sundancer will have two formal social dances for those that want to get decked out for dancing and dinner.
Sundancer will also advise as to any theme dances as we get closer to the sailing.
Since all suitcases are collected the night before we return home, don't forget to bring an overnight bag packed with
a change of clothes, prescriptions and need-to-have items. Thanks to Freestyle Disembarkation, you'll have time on
your final morning on board for breakfast and some last minute sunbathing or even a workout.
What can't I bring onboard?
Passenger is not allowed to bring on board the vessel without the previous written permission of the Carrier any
intoxicating liquors, or beverages, firearms, weapons of any kind, ammunition, explosive substances or any goods of
a dangerous nature, nor animals of any kind, except service or guide animals, provided the passenger notifies
Carrier prior to the cruise of his intention to bring such animal and agrees to take sole responsibility for any
expense, damage, injuries or losses associated with or caused by such animal.
What time do I board the ship on embarkation day and in ports of call?
Arrival at the Cruise Terminal:
For your comfort and convenience, we recommend that guests arrive at the cruise terminal no earlier than one (1)
hour prior to the scheduled embarkation time printed on your cruise documents. Because of security regulations,
guests may not be allowed to enter the cruise terminal prior to the scheduled embarkation time and may want to
avoid waiting in potentially inclement weather as the waiting area outside and inside the cruise terminal may be
limited.
Final Boarding Time:
In order to facilitate the embarkation process, guests are requested to complete the online Advance Guest
Registration form at least four (4) days prior to sailing. To comply with new government regulations governing
departure manifests, all guests who have completed their online Advance Guest Registration at least four (4) days
prior to sailing must complete check-in at the cruise terminal and be onboard the ship no later than one (1) hour
prior to the departure time noted on their cruise documents or they will not be permitted to sail. Guests who have
not completed their online Advance Guest Registration form at least four (4) days prior to sailing will be required to
complete check-in at the cruise terminal at least two (2) hours prior and be onboard the ship no later than one (1)
hour prior to the departure time noted on their cruise documents or they will not be permitted to sail. Any late
arriving guests may join the ship at an approved port of call in the scheduled cruise 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 onboard the ship no later than one (1) 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 is the Fuel Supplement?
You probably know how much fuel prices have fluctuated in recent years. Because of this price volatility, a Fuel
Supplement of up to $7 for the first two guests and $3 for each additional guest per cruise day, based on the
NYMEX futures prices for crude oil, is added as part of the Advertised Cruise Fare Price. The Fuel Supplement is
determined as follows:
NYMEX Price Tiers Fuel Supplement (1st 2 guests per cabin)
$75 to $100 per barrel $7 per pax per cruise day
Over $60 to $75 per barrel $6 per pax per cruise day
$50 to $60 per barrel $5 per pax per cruise day

What is the Cancellation Procedure?
To protect you, we require that you cancel in writing. Please include the following:
• The name of the event you are cancelling
• Your Address
• Your Date of Birth
• Your confirmation number
CANCELLATION POLICY OTHER THAN CANCELLED BY PASSENGER:
Should Sundancer Cruises cancel this sailing, where the passenger is not at fault and has not cancelled in violation
of the terms and conditions set forth above, all sums paid to Sundancer Cruises will be promptly paid to the
passenger, unless the passenger advises Sundancer Cruises in writing after cancellation. This provision does not
apply where Sundancer Cruises has remitted payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier,
without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon service. I n
this situation, Sundancer Cruises must provide the passenger with a written statement accompanied by bank
records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel proof of
current registration of that wholesaler.
NOTE:: It is very rare that the Cruise Line cancels cruises. In the event that the Cruise Line should cancel a cruise
due to unforeseen circumstances, they will notify you immediately. Since every situation is different, Cruise Line’s
upper management will assess the severity of the situation when it happens and act accordingly. In the event of
strikes, lockouts, riots, weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, or for any other reason, the Cruise Line has the
right to cancel, advance, postpone, or deviate from any scheduled sailing or port of call without prior notice. In this
situation the Cruise Line may substitute another ship or port of call. However the Cruise Line is not legally liable for
any loss to guests by reason of the cancellation, advancement, postponement, deviation, or substitution. In addition,
while the Cruise Line attempts to follow our published schedules as closely as possible, the Cruise Line is not
responsible if they cannot adhere exactly to the published times at any of their ports of call. However, they will
attempt to keep all passengers informed of any changes. We recommend that all guests purchase a Vacation
Protection Plan for their peace of mind.
VACATION PROTECTION PLAN:
Cruise Line Vacation Protection Plan is $89.00 each for adults for Inside and Oceanview cabins and $99.00 each
for adults for Balcony cabins. Full coverage details will be sent with your final documents. Click here for more
information. Pricing is different for 14 night sailing.
PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS
As early as Summer 2008, the U.S. government will require all of our guests to be in possession of a valid passport
when sailing on any NCL cruise. Because passport regulations are subject to change, we encourage you to visit
www.travel.state.gov for the latest requirements and overseas information before you sail.
What kind of travel documents, visa or passport do I need? The following regulations are currently in effect.
CRUISING - FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN CITIZENS:
Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Alaska, Mexican Riviera, Or Canada & New England Cruises
You only need proof of citizenship and a government-issued photo I.D. or a valid driver's license with a photo. Proof
of Citizenship examples include: an original or state certified copy of a U.S. or Canadian birth certificate, a valid or
recently expired passport, certificate of naturalization, certificate of citizenship, or a report of your birth abroad.
NCL strongly recommends that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. If you miss your ship at its
scheduled U.S. departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to meet your ship, or should you unexpectedly
need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of sailing, a passport would be required to leave or re-
enter the U.S. by air.
AIR TRAVEL - FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN CITIZENS:
For all air travel into the U.S. from Canada or any other international location, you'll need a valid passport.
AIR AND CRUISE TRAVEL - FOR ALL CITIZENS OTHER THAN U.S. OR CANADIAN:
All guests must carry a valid passport (valid at least 6 months from the departure date from the U.S.), and if
necessary, a multiple entry visa is required for entry into the United States (B-2 Visitors Visa), or a visa waiver.
Please be sure to check with the proper agencies and authorities (such as your local immigration office) before you
sail because we can't board you without the proper documents.
FOR ALL NCL GUESTS:
U.S. regulations pertaining to required travel documents are updated frequently. The information provided here is
meant to offer some guidelines for travel, but please note that these details may not be complete. To be sure you
have the latest information, check with your travel professional or the proper authorities (such as your local
immigration office) before your cruise to make sure you have the proper documentation. Cruise refunds may not be
issued if you're denied boarding due to lack of proper documents.
Please cut and paste the websites below to visit the following State Department web pages to become fully prepared
to communicate the new requirements:

WHAT IS FREESTYLE CRUSING?
You keep seeing Freestyle Cruising and you don't know exactly what it is, right? That's because we're the only
cruise line that offers anything like it. Let's start with the fact that there are no fixed dining times. And you never
have to eat in the same restaurant twice. Really. We won't ask you to sit with strangers like on other cruise lines.
And, you only have to dress up if you want to. We've created that kind of freedom throughout the ship with a ton of
fun things to do, or not do. It's NCL's Freestyle Cruising. Where you're free to whatever.
FREESTYLE DINING:
No other cruise line offers 13 different restaurants on board a single ship. Heck, no other cruise line even comes
close. Steak, sushi, Teppanyaki, tapas, French, Mediterranean, Asian Fusion, Italian, Tex-Mex, buffets, pizza. Your
choices are endless.
DINE WHERE YOU WANT
With up to 13 restaurants, you'll find what you're in the mood for. We apologize for the "What do you feel like for
dinner?" conversation ahead of time. If you just can't decide, there's also 24-hour room service.
DINE WHEN YOU WANT
Our restaurants are open for dinner from 5:30pm to midnight with seating until 10:00pm. Do your thing and catch
dinner when you're hungry, not when the dinner bell rings. It's totally up to you.
DINE WITH WHOMEVER YOU WANT
Not everyone wants to eat dinner with people they don't know. We say you're welcome to enjoy dinner with the
people you came on vacation with. Or, if you'd like to meet new people, we'll gladly
What time is dinner? What time would you like it to be? NCL's exclusive Freestyle Cruising lets you choose. We
offer open-seating dining in a variety of restaurants and cafés with individual menus, so it's your choice. You can
have lunch or dinner with friends in one of the elegantly appointed restaurants or reserve a table for two in an
intimate bistro.
Sundancer will be providing details on dining with our group for those interested as we get closer to sailing.
Order an omelette prepared just the way you like it from the breakfast-buffet chef. Indulge yourself with delectable
selections from the Chocoholic Buffet." There are special menus for youngsters and special entrées from Cooking
Light®. Special meals are available including low-calorie, vegetarian, no MSG, low/no sodium and low/no cholesterol
meals, as well as sugar-free and fat-free desserts. All of our restaurants are non-smoking. Most specialty
restaurants require a per person cover charge or offer a` la carte pricing. Reservations are recommended and can
be made on board.
FREESTYLE ACCOMMODATIONS
It's your first anniversary. It's a vacation with your best friends. Or a big family reunion. Well, it's all good because
we've created the most flexible staterooms and suites on the high seas. Huge 3-bedroom rooftop Garden Villas.
Cozy Inside Staterooms. Expandable Family Suites. And everything in between.
FREESTYLE ACTIVITIES
Looking for fun? On board, you can go bowling or to the spa. Try out the bungee trampoline or yoga. Karaoke or
kick-boxing. Or go swimming, spinning, shopping or jogging. Off the ship, try our hiking, biking, diving, snorkeling,
surfing, golfing, touring and partying Shore Excursions.
FREESTYLE DISEMBARKATION
With traditional cruising, getting off the ship can be a lot of "hurry up and wait." Not with NCL. We thought that
maybe sleeping in and having a quiet breakfast or a quick workout might be a better alternative. So we say, relax
any way you like, until it's really time to go.
SPA & FITNESS
How about a mid-morning run 10 stories above the ocean? We built our ships with jogging and walking tracks, great
spas for the perfect massage, basketball courts and fitness centers open 24 hours with televisions, treadmills, and
ellipticals, free weights, special classes, and more. Here a just a few of our treatments that will make you ooh and
aah.

CASINO AT SEA
Nowhere on earth can you get the kind of gaming rewards we give, with the added bonus of Freestyle Cruising at
the same time. With NCL's Casinos at Sea Players Club*, you earn reward points, called Seabucks, based on your
level of play. And those Seabucks can be used while you're on your current cruise for anything from spa treatments
to dinners to simply dollars off your final bill or a future cruise. While you're in the casino, enjoy all the gaming tables
you're used to, aboard the only cruise line that has certified slots. And when you're not in the casino, you're free to
dine when you want, where you want and do what you want. Basically, you're free to whatever. To find out more, call
1.877.PLAY.NCL or click here. And be prepared to reward yourself.
GOLF
After playing 18 holes in paradise, it's tough finding accommodations to match. Unless, of course, you're on
Norwegian Cruise Line. As the newest partner of the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour we give you golf like no one
else. Relax and enjoy your golf getaway to premiere courses like Mauna Lani in Hawaii and Port Royal in Bermuda.
In fact, there's a new course and new experience waiting in every port. And NCL makes it really easy. So, whether
it's hitting a bucket of balls at sunrise or playing till you can't swing anymore. When it's Freestyle Cruising®, you're
free to whatever.
INTERNET CAFÉ
Be sure to give your friends and family back home email address or you can give them your personalized Cruise-

GUESTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:
NCL strongly believes that guests with special needs should have the amenities they need to enjoy their cruise. As
such, each ship offers designated staterooms with wider doorways and bathrooms that will accommodate
wheelchairs and staterooms with lights and under-pillow vibrating alarms for guests with hearing impairments. Guide
dogs are permitted on all NCL ships. Many staterooms have refrigerators that can be used to store medications that
must be kept cold.
Any physical disability or request requiring special treatment or attention should be reported to NCL's Group Event
Coordinator Department when the reservation is made, so that appropriate accommodations can be provided. NCL
reserves the right to refuse or to revoke passage to anyone in such physical or mental condition as to be unfit for
travel or who, in the judgment of the carrier, may be a danger to themselves or others.
Diabetes
Refrigerators are available in many staterooms for storing insulin.
Diet
NCL offers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that include low-calorie, haute cuisine recipes from Cooking Light
magazine. Our top-rated chefs can also prepare vegetarian entrees (nutrition information provided), as well as
low/no sodium and low/no cholesterol entrees. Sugar-free and fat-free desserts are also available.
Hearing Impairments
Select staterooms are available on most ships for guests with hearing disabilities. Among the adaptive devices to
make their cruise more enjoyable are in-stateroom lights and vibrating alarms that fit under a pillow and alert the
guest to a doorbell, phone or emergency situation.
Medical Care for Minors Traveling Alone
All guests 18 years or younger must have a least one guest 21 years or older traveling with them in the same
stateroom. A minor not traveling with a parent or guardian must produce a notarized parental or guardian consent
letter authorizing medical treatment in case of an emergency. This letter must be presented to an NCL
representative at the pier. Failure to produce the letter at embarkation may result in boarding being denied. There
are no refunds in the event of denied boarding.
Onboard Medical Care
Guests are entitled to free medication for seasickness. Customary charges may be made for all other services.
Commonly used medications are kept on board and may be purchased at the office of the ship's doctor.
Dramamine, Meclazine, Alka-Seltzer and aspirin are available free at the Purser's Desk.
Oxygen Users
As of 9/1/07, NCL has signed an exclusivity contract with Care Vacations to be the sole supplier for oxygen and
mobility services. They will be the only company allowed to deliver and supply all mobility aid equipment including
standard (non-motorized) wheelchairs and electric equipment (scooters), oxygen equipment for use during the
cruise or tour to those guests who pre-arrange the service with Care Vacations. Please note, liquid oxygen is not
permitted on any NCL or NCLA vessel nor will be supplied by the vendor under any circumstance. Please have our
guests contact Care Vacations at 1-877-478-7827 to make arrangements.
The only exception to the above is guests who require dialysis equipment and supplies. These guests can contact
Baxter Health Care at 1-800-422-9837 to make arrangements.
Pregnancy
NCL will not accept guests who will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy by the time their travel with NCL
concludes. A statement from the expectant mother's doctor, stating her due date and fitness to travel must be sent
to NCL's Group Event Coordinator Department. NCL will not be responsible or liable for any complications of
pregnancy which arise or occur during the cruise.
Wheelchair Users Sailing In Disabled Cabins
Guests that require fulltime use of a wheelchair must provide their own. Motorized wheelchairs and Scooters are
welcome as well; however, they must be powered by gel-cell batteries. Due to safety regulations, NCL will not accept
any wet-cell or acid battery-powered wheelchairs on board the ships. The wheelchair battery charger must be
adaptable to 110 voltages.
Wheelchair Users Not-Sailing in Disabled Cabins
Guests that require fulltime use of a wheelchair must provide their own. Wheelchairs are welcome; however, they
must be collapsible if the guest is not booked in a disabled cabin.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What does my cruise fare include?
Your cruise fare entitles you to accommodations, meals and entertainment aboard ship. Certain specialty
restaurants are available with either nominal cover charges or fixed price menus and à la carte pricing in addition to
the standard dining program. Items of a personal nature are not included, such as alcoholic beverages and soft
drinks, spa treatments, indoor pool relaxation areas, certain specialty exercise classes, laundry, photographs,
casino, ship-to-shore phone, email, Internet, fax and Shore Excursions (including all Dive In" programs).
Government taxes and fees are also not included. All of Sundancer’s private social dance parties and private
workshops are included in your price.
How do I pay for onboard expenses?
For your convenience, all shipboard expenses are charged to NCL's special onboard credit program. Sign up on the
first day of your cruise, by establishing your method of payment with Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®,
Discover®, Diners Club®, travelers checks or cash. If you choose to settle your account with cash, a deposit will be
required in advance. The amount required for your onboard credit program is $100 per day per person. For the 9
night cruise the deposit would be $900.00. For the 14 night cruise the deposit would be $1,400. You may also use
your debit card; however, please be advised that NCL obtains pre-authorization which some banks may hold for up
to 30 days.
What about currency?
You may cash travelers checks at the Reception Desk. Currency exchange, at prevailing rates, is available on some
cruises. Travelers checks and most major credit cards are accepted in the ports we visit. Proper ID is required when
cashing travelers checks. We recommend you carry a small amount of local currency when visiting foreign ports,
although credit cards are commonly accepted in shops and restaurants.
How many suitcases can I bring?
Each person is allowed up to 200 pounds of personal luggage on board. However, if you are traveling by air, ask
the airline if it has different restrictions. Airlines and NCL have limited liability for loss, so be sure all baggage and
personal belongings are properly insured. Suitcases should be securely locked and tagged. You should hand-carry
medication, jewelry or other valuables and important documents. Many airlines are not charging a fee for a second
checked piece of luggage.
What about smoking, drinking and gambling on the ship?
We want you to be comfortable on board, so public areas throughout all NCL ships are smoke free. If you smoke
cigarettes, you can do so in your stateroom, on your balcony, in the casino or Cigar Bar (where available). If you
prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Also, you can smoke
cigarettes, pipes and cigars outside on open decks (just not around food venues, sport decks, kids' pool areas and
other designated non-smoking areas).
NCL permits guests between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty (20) to purchase and personally consume wine
and beer while on NCL ships with the consent of an accompanying parent or legal guardian on the same sailing
once the vessel is outside the US state territorial waters (3 miles out). Complete details and special consent form
are only available onboard at the Reception Desk. *If you want to gamble in our casinos, you must have a valid ID
showing you are 18 years or older. If a guest under the age of 18 wins in the casino and can not provide proof of
age, he or she will not be paid the winnings. There are no casinos on our ships in Hawaii.
* NCL encourages the responsible use of alcohol and accordingly reserves the right to permanently or temporarily
revoke the drinking privileges of any guest who violates NCL's Guest Code of Conduct or who is deemed a danger
to himself, herself or others by vessel management. Continued abuse of alcohol while sailing and/or violation of
NCL's alcohol policy may result in immediate disembarkation.
Will I need an electrical converter?
The current on board is 110 volts AC. However, some high-voltage hair dryers, electric rollers and electric razors
may require a converter.
Are there any pool regulations?
According to United States Public Health (U.S.P.H.) regulations, no diapers of any kind are permitted in the
swimming pools or jacuzzis, including those marketed as "swimmers."
What if I'm pregnant?
NCL will make every effort to accommodate you, providing you have not entered the 24th week of pregnancy when
the cruise ends. Please include your cruise details in an email to the Access Desk with a medical certificate
establishing your due date prior to your cruise.
What about Shore Excursions?
Norwegian's excursions can be viewed on line. An updated listing of Shore Excursions are available approximately 3
months prior to the first sailing of each cruise destination season. If you are booked on a cruise, a Shore Excursions
brochure and pre-request form will be mailed to you with your cruise documents. Some tours are available to pre-
request online, or you may fax the completed pre-request form to 1.305.436.4110. Once onboard, Shore Excursions
can also be purchased at the ship's Shore Excursion Desk. Sundancer cruises is also checking into organizing
some private group excursions just for our group. Details will follow.
How can we celebrate a special occasion?
You may purchase wine, or bon voyage gifts, such as fruit baskets, champagne, birthday cakes, canapés, flowers
or other gifts for your stateroom. Please let us know at least three weeks before sailing. Click here for more
information.
What if I need to stay in touch while away?
All of our ships have computer terminals you can rent by the hour at the Internet Café. You can also telephone,
telex, radiogram or fax to anywhere in the world and be billed* at applicable ship-to-shore rates.
NCL guests can also be contacted on our ships by calling 1.888.NCSHIPS (1.888.627.4477) from the USA. For the
rest of the world please dial 1.732.335.3280. When guests are contacted with the ship via satellite, they can be
reached directly, if they are in their stateroom. If not, a message about the incoming call will be delivered to their
stateroom and then they can call back* the shore via satellite.
NCL Ship Telephone & Fax Numbers
When calling from the United States:
Dial 1.888.NC SHIPS (627.4477), select the ship, and enter your credit card information.

What about Tipping?
Gratuities
Guests should not feel obliged to offer a gratuity for good service. However, all of our staff are encouraged to "go
the extra mile," and so they are permitted to accept cash gratuities entirely at the discretion of our guests who wish
to acknowledge particular staff members for exceptional or outstanding service. In other words, there is genuinely
no need to tip but you should feel free to do so if you have a desire to acknowledge particular individuals. Also,
certain staff positions provide service on an individual basis to only some guests. We encourage those guests to
acknowledge good service from these staff members with appropriate gratuities. For example, for guests purchasing
bar drinks the recommended gratuity is 15 percent. For guests purchasing spa treatments the recommended
gratuity is 18 percent. Similarly, for guests using concierge and butler services, we recommend they consider
offering a gratuity commensurate with services rendered.
Where can I keep my valuables?
Security envelopes and/or safe deposit boxes are available from the ship's purser at no charge. Most staterooms
and suites have mini-safes. Please note, however, that NCL is not responsible for valuables left in staterooms or
elsewhere on board.
Are visitors allowed on board?
Due to security reasons, unfortunately, no.

What Should I Pack?
To give you an idea of what to toss into your suitcase, we've got answers to some of your questions like:
Can I wear something casual to dinner?
Do people dress up at night?
Can I wear my swimsuit day and night?
The answer to all the above is "yes" - with Freestyle Cruising, you're pretty much welcome to wear whatever,
whenever. Our philosophy is "resort casual" and with the widest range of dining venues, tons of entertainment
options and bars & lounges, you'll find there are places for your style all over our ships, day and night.
Daytime, it's basically all fine since we know you're probably headed to the pool or out for a fun Shore Excursion.
Casual shorts, jeans, tops and sundresses are welcome everywhere. You can even wear your swimsuit to the
poolside grill or the buffet.
Resort casual dress gets you into every venue at night too. Some people like to add a jacket, or when celebrating a
special occasion, get all decked out. This too is welcome everywhere. And if you're tired from a long fun day and
just want to wear shorts; our buffet is the place for a casual dinner. Some people prefer nice jeans. They're welcome
in many of our restaurants as well, but not in all. It's your vacation on NCL so dress comfortably, and you'll find a
venue that suits your style.
Sundancer will have two formal social dances for those that want to get decked out for dancing and dinner.
Sundancer will also advise as to any theme dances as we get closer to the sailing.
Since all suitcases are collected the night before we return home, don't forget to bring an overnight bag packed with
a change of clothes, prescriptions and need-to-have items. Thanks to Freestyle Disembarkation, you'll have time on
your final morning on board for breakfast and some last minute sunbathing or even a workout.
What can't I bring onboard?
Passenger is not allowed to bring on board the vessel without the previous written permission of the Carrier any
intoxicating liquors, or beverages, firearms, weapons of any kind, ammunition, explosive substances or any goods of
a dangerous nature, nor animals of any kind, except service or guide animals, provided the passenger notifies
Carrier prior to the cruise of his intention to bring such animal and agrees to take sole responsibility for any
expense, damage, injuries or losses associated with or caused by such animal.
What time do I board the ship on embarkation day and in ports of call?
Arrival at the Cruise Terminal:
For your comfort and convenience, we recommend that guests arrive at the cruise terminal no earlier than one (1)
hour prior to the scheduled embarkation time printed on your cruise documents. Because of security regulations,
guests may not be allowed to enter the cruise terminal prior to the scheduled embarkation time and may want to
avoid waiting in potentially inclement weather as the waiting area outside and inside the cruise terminal may be
limited.
Final Boarding Time:
In order to facilitate the embarkation process, guests are requested to complete the online Advance Guest
Registration form at least four (4) days prior to sailing. To comply with new government regulations governing
departure manifests, all guests who have completed their online Advance Guest Registration at least four (4) days
prior to sailing must complete check-in at the cruise terminal and be onboard the ship no later than one (1) hour
prior to the departure time noted on their cruise documents or they will not be permitted to sail. Guests who have
not completed their online Advance Guest Registration form at least four (4) days prior to sailing will be required to
complete check-in at the cruise terminal at least two (2) hours prior and be onboard the ship no later than one (1)
hour prior to the departure time noted on their cruise documents or they will not be permitted to sail. Any late
arriving guests may join the ship at an approved port of call in the scheduled cruise 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 onboard the ship no later than one (1) 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 is the Fuel Supplement?
You probably know how much fuel prices have fluctuated in recent years. Because of this price volatility, a Fuel
Supplement of up to $7 for the first two guests and $3 for each additional guest per cruise day, based on the
NYMEX futures prices for crude oil, is added as part of the Advertised Cruise Fare Price. The Fuel Supplement is
determined as follows:
NYMEX Price Tiers Fuel Supplement (1st 2 guests per cabin)
$75 to $100 per barrel $7 per pax per cruise day
Over $60 to $75 per barrel $6 per pax per cruise day
$50 to $60 per barrel $5 per pax per cruise day
