If payment in full has not been received by the above deadline, and you do not cure such failure within 5 days after notice by email or phone from CTTE (i.e., if CTTE does not receive your payment in full within such 5-day period), CTTE reserves the right to consider your reservation cancelled and to charge the applicable cancellation penalties. All deposits and payments are non-refundable.

A $50 per person late fee will be applied each time a reservation does not remit payment by the required payment deadline. CTTE reserves the right to cancel your reservation if you have failed to make any payment by its due date and do not cure such failure within 5 days after notice by email or phone message from CTTE (i.e., CTTE must receive your payment within such 5-day period).

Please Note: The Payment Terms described above supersede those made by the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract, as your payment obligation for the Cruise is to CTTE. Please note the payment provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply to the Cruise, regardless of any representations made by NCL or its affiliated entities, whether in the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour terms or elsewhere. The rights granted to passengers in the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract relating to the payment or refund of cruise fare and to cancellations by passengers shall not be operative.

Due to the nature of this event, all deposits and payments for CTTE are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. Therefore, we highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Travel insurance is NOT included in your reservation. The purchase of travel insurance is at the discretion of and the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through CTTE.  It is up to each guest to research and decide whether to purchase travel insurance or not, and to decide on a 3rd party vendor of his or her choice for insurance if they choose to do so. CTTE is not responsible for any losses, medical expenses accrued during travel, and/or any and all deposits, due to lack of travel insurance. Not all travel insurance is the same, and you should carefully investigate to determine what situations are covered, and how they are covered, in each policy you may be offered.  For maximum coverage, we recommend that you consider third party policies with “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage. CTTE makes no representation or warranties as to what travel insurance will or will not cover. Please note that some insurers require that travel insurance policies must be purchased within 14 days of your initial Cruise deposit.

CABIN ASSIGNMENT

Cabins are assigned based upon occupancy and availability at the time of booking by CTTE. Special requests will be accommodated, if possible, as determined by CTTE in its sole discretion. Adding additional guests after your initial reservation may not be permitted depending on cabin availability. CTTE and the Vessel’s Safety Department each reserve the right, but not the obligation, to reassign passengers to another comparable cabin at any time, if necessary or desirable in the sole opinion of CTTE or the Safety Department. Cabin Assignments are subject to the paragraph headed “Roommates” below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all cabins can accommodate 3 and/or 4 guests. Cabins that hold more than two passengers are limited and we cannot guarantee that additional guests can be added to your cabin at a later date. Triple and quad occupancy cabins will only be assigned to those with more than 2 passengers in the cabin at the time of booking. Guests that plan to add additional guests may attempt to do so, but are not guaranteed their stateroom will accommodate the new occupancy after the original booking date. This may require a change of cabin location or an upgrade of category, but this is also subject to availability.

In addition, if a guest is purchasing a VIP Cabin, VIP credentials are capacity controlled and therefore additional guests may not be able to be added to VIP cabins at a later date.

CANCELLATION

Due to the unique nature of our event, we have a very strict “NO REFUND/NO CANCELLATION” policy. No refunds will be issued, unless due primarily to the fault of CTTE. Therefore, as mentioned above, we HIGHLY recommend that passengers consider purchasing travel insurance which is not included in your reservation (see above section “TRAVEL INSURANCE”).

If You Do Not Show Up for the Cruise, or for an event during the Cruise, on Time, or Do Not Otherwise Use Your Ticket, there will be no refunds of any kind given.

If you need to cancel, please follow the steps below:

• Email reservations@cruisetotheedge.com a "Change Request Form" link.
• The Primary passenger on the reservation must fill out, sign, and submit the online form BEFORE the cabin will be canceled.

The date the form is received will be the date of cancellation. No exceptions will be made, and this process must be followed (unless the cancellation is done by CTTE or the Cruise to the Edge Reservations Team for failure to pay or other reason(s) within our discretion).

NO-SHOWS

There will be no refunds given for those who do not show up on time, for unused tickets, or to those seeking refunds after the Cruise has commenced.

Please note the Cancellation and No-Shows provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply to the Cruise, regardless of any representations made by NCL, whether in its passenger contract terms or elsewhere. The rights granted to passengers in the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract relating to the payment or refund of cruise fare and cancellations by passengers are superseded by these Cruise to the Edge Terms & Conditions and shall not be applicable.

RESERVATION CHANGES, TRANSFERS & FEES

The Passenger who places a reservation for a cabin onboard is considered the cabin’s “Primary” or “Main” passenger and is therefore solely responsible for initiating or authorizing all changes to the reservation. Downgrading your cabin to a cabin of lesser value is not allowed. Primary passenger name changes are considered a CABIN TRANSFER and are subject to a transfer fee paid to CTTE of $299 USD. All new passengers are required to complete and agree to the Reservation Terms & Conditions before the change will be accepted.

Not all changes can be accommodated and no transfer or change of a reservation to a NEW passenger shall be made without CTTE’s prior written approval, to be given or withheld in CTTE’s sole discretion. Subject to the preceding sentence, under no circumstances shall a Passenger or any person or entity acting on Passenger’s behalf (i) sell a reservation, cabin, or berth to any other person or entity for more than the price paid by the Passenger, or (ii) offer the reservation, cabin or berth to any other person(s) or entity(s) as a prize or award in a drawing, contest, lottery, sweepstakes, raffle or similar event of any kind; a transfer in violation of this sentence shall not be permitted, and the Primary passenger shall indemnify and hold harmless CTTE from and against any damages, losses and claims suffered by CTTE as a result of a violation by Primary passenger, or any other passenger listed on the reservation, of this paragraph. If a Primary or other passenger wishes to transfer the reservation, cabin or berth to a NEW passenger, the Primary passenger shall send a request in writing using our “Reservation Change Request Form” for approval of this transfer to CTTE, along with (i) the reason for the requested transfer and a statement that the transfer will not violate this paragraph, (ii) the NEW passenger’s name, and (iii) a completed acceptance of and agreement to these Terms and Conditions from the NEW passenger. If the request is approved by CTTE in its sole discretion, the NEW passenger must make a deposit equal to the amount due based on the above due dates and/or full payment of the original amount paid on the reservation, whichever is more. Once that payment has been made, then the applicable amounts paid by the ORIGINAL traveler will be refunded directly to the original traveler. Any NEW passenger sailing with a reservation transferred to him/her in violation of this paragraph may be denied boarding by CTTE or, in CTTE’s sole discretion, removed by CTTE from the Cruise at any port, at such NEW passenger’s sole cost.

CHANGES, TRANSFERS AND FEES:

Through July 29, 2024

Each cabin will be entitled to one (1) complimentary name change (excluding Primary passenger) or passenger addition, for second, third or fourth passengers, upon request in writing to the Cruise to the Edge Reservations Team. Any additional changes through July 29, 2024, will be assessed a $50 fee for each occurrence.

July 30, 2024 – October 27, 2024

Any changes made to a reservation between July 30, 2024 – October 27, 2024, including but not limited to, the addition of any guest not currently listed on the reservation will be assessed a fee of $100 per change.

October 28, 2024 – January 15, 2025

Any changes made to a reservation between October 28, 2024 – January 15, 2025, including but not limited to, the addition of any guest not currently listed on the reservation will be assessed a fee of $150 per change.

January 16, 2025 – March 4, 2025

Any changes made to a reservation between January 16, 2025 – March 4, 2025, including but not limited to, the addition of any guest not currently listed on the reservation will be assessed a fee of $250 per change.

March 5, 2025 – April 5, 2025

No changes will be allowed.

All reservation changes (name changes and transfers) must be submitted in writing by the Primary passenger using our “Reservation Change Request” link. Change links must be submitted by 5:30 pm Eastern Time by the above deadline dates. To request a form, please email the Cruise to the Edge Reservations Team at reservations@cruisetotheedge.com. The date and time the form is received will be the date of the change/cancellation and will determine the applicable change fee/cancellation fees per the above schedule. Once the change has been approved, all applicable fees and Terms and Conditions (if applicable) will be due within 24 hours. Failure to pay within that 24-hour period will result in a denial of the change request. Should the guest wish to reinstate the change or transfer, a $50 fee shall be assessed. No exceptions will be made.

CTTE and/or NCL reserve the right, at any time, to change the Cruise itinerary, including ports of call, duration of stays at ports, departure times, arrival times, embarkation times, and/or disembarkation times, whenever advisable or necessary, within their sole discretion. In such cases, CTTE and/or NCL will NOT be responsible to passengers for any loss or expenses caused by reason of such changes or abandonment. Refunds will NOT be made to passengers who elect not to complete the cruise for any reason or cause whatsoever.

PORTS OF CALL

You assume sole responsibility for your own safety in any port of call. CTTE and the other Released Parties do not guarantee your safety at any time and shall have no responsibility or liability for your safety in any port of call. You may find information about the scheduled ports of call through the U.S. Department of State, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other governmental and tourist organizations. CTTE and the other Released Parties assume no responsibility for gathering and/or disseminating any such information.

You acknowledge that existing or forecast of severe weather conditions, civil unrest, illness, communicable diseases, or other public health conditions on board or at scheduled ports of call or the cruise path, or other factors beyond the control of CTTE and/or NCL may prohibit the ship from docking at scheduled ports of call or may advance or delay the time of arrival at or leaving from scheduled ports of call. In such case, CTTE and/or NCL will NOT be responsible to passengers for any loss or expenses caused by reason of such inability to dock at one or more scheduled ports of call or change in arrival or departure times.

SHORE EXCURSIONS & CRUISE AMENITIES

You acknowledge that all shore excursions and tours, however conducted; airline flights and ground transportation; and any ship physician, nurse, and onboard concessions (including, without limitation to, gift shops, spa, beauty salon, fitness center, golf and art programs, children’s programs, day care, and video/snorkel concession) are operated by independent contractors and not by CTTE. CTTE neither supervises nor controls their actions, nor makes any representation, whether express or implied, as to their suitability. These services are provided only as a convenience for you, and you are free to use or not use them. You agree that each of the Released Parties assumes no responsibility, does not guarantee performance and in no event shall be liable for any negligent or intentional acts or omissions, loss, damage, injury, or delay to you and/or your property in connection with these services. You use them at your own risk.

AGE REQUIREMENTS

Infants must be at least 6 months old at the time of sailing.

Guests under the age of 21 must be traveling with a parent or responsible adult guardian AND must be booked in the same stateroom or a connecting cabin.

Guests under the age of 21, traveling with a guardian 21 years or older, (who is not a parent, grandparent, or court-appointed legal guardian), MUST bring an original signed and notarized letter from the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel with the appointed guardian. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, the  NCL Parent/Guardian Consent & Release Form must be filled out, signed by the parents/legal guardians, and presented at the pier during embarkation with the required identification (a copy of both parents/legal guardians driver’s license or other government issued identification).

Please note that adult guests are responsible for the safety and behavior of their minor guests.

Guest ages will be verified at embarkation. Guests not conforming to the requirements set forth herein will be denied boarding and assessed a 100% cancellation penalty. NO exceptions will be made at embarkation.

PASSPORT & LEGAL DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS

Below are passport guidelines as of April 2024, however they are subject to change. We strongly encourage all guests to visit the Department of Homeland Security website (http://www.dhs.gov) or the Foreign Affairs & International Trade Canada website (http://www.voyage.gc.ca) for the most up-to-date traveler information including passport and visa requirements as well as travel advisories and safety recommendations.

Please Note: Guests who fail to have the required documents as determined by U.S. Customs & Immigration will be denied boarding and such guests shall not be entitled to any refund nor shall CTTE and/or NCL, have any further liability of any kind to such guests.

Recommendation from CTTE, LLC:

Although a passport is not required at this time for U.S. citizens taking "closed loop" cruises, we strongly recommend that all guests travel with a passport (valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel) for the following reasons:

• If you miss your ship at its scheduled U.S. departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to meet your ship, you will need a passport.

• If you unexpectedly need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of a sailing. Should this occur, a passport would be required to leave or re-enter the U.S. by air.

• Additionally, be aware that there may be testing and/or vaccination requirements to enter the U.S. and/or return to your Country of origin. Compliance with these protocols is the responsibility of each guest. Airlines may deny boarding to passengers who do not comply with these protocols. CTTE has no ability to predict what protocols will be in effect at the time of the Cruise and has no responsibility regarding this matter. For more information, visit the  CDC Website.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your name, as listed on your travel documents, must exactly match your name as listed on your Cruise documents.

NON-U.S. CITIZENS

ALL NON-U.S. CITIZENS MUST CARRY A VALID PASSPORT!

This passport must NOT Expire within (6) Months of the Return Date of the Cruise. A tourist visa may be required for entry into certain countries/ports of call. To confirm the specific documents required, please be sure to check with the proper authorities (such as your local immigration office) for each port that you are entering.

U.S. ALIEN RESIDENTS

In addition to a valid passport, U.S. Alien Residents holding an Alien Resident Card (ARC), also known as a “Green Card” must be in possession of the ARC to sail. U.S. Alien Residents who do not have their ARC with them at check in will be denied boarding. In some instances, ARC holders may still be required to have travel permits and/or visas to enter countries visited.

Card renewal is an important matter. ARC holders (United States permanent residents) with expired cards may be considered “out of status” and may be denied entry / reentry into the United States. If your ARC was issued over 10 years ago, you should check the expiration date printed on the front of the card. If your card is expired, or it is about to expire, you should renew your card before you sail.

If you are holding an old edition ARC WITHOUT an expiration date, you may not be prevented from entering the United States, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection highly suggests that you apply for a new card before you sail.

On occasion, non-U.S. citizens and U.S. Alien Residents may be asked to surrender their passport and/or Alien Resident Card at time of embarkation. These documents will be returned upon completion of the Immigration inspection at the time of debarkation.

For additional information, visit:

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/explore-my-options/renew-or-replace-my-green-card.

VISAS

Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine-readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable. Guests are advised to check with their consulate, or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.

VISA WAIVER PROGRAM

All eligible international travelers who wish to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program must apply for authorization. Citizens from the Visa Waiver Program countries seeking to enter the United States will be required to have in their possession a machine readable, biometric passport with a digital photograph valid for the duration of the voyage. Guests without proper identification may be refused boarding or entry into the United States.

A machine-readable passport has an alpha-numeric code like this on the bottom of the picture page:

P<<<<<<<<1234567890M1234567890M1234567890<1234567890

For additional details about ESTA and/or the Visa Waiver Program please visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visa-waiver-program.html#ESTA

For more information, to see if your country qualifies for the Visa Waiver program, and to apply for a travel authorization, see ESTA.

CTTE and the other Released Parties (as herein defined) assume no responsibility for advising you of immigration requirements. Non-U.S. citizens, including resident aliens, must contact the appropriate consulates, embassies and/or immigration office(s) to inquire about necessary documentation for the Cruise’s ports of call.

All guests must present the required documentation at embarkation. Guests without the required documentation will be denied boarding and no refund will be issued. NCL will strictly enforce this requirement to be in compliance with this important U.S. Government mandate.

DOMESTIC AIRLINE TRAVEL ID REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS

Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. REAL ID compliant cards are generally marked with a star located in the upper portion of the card. If you’re not sure, contact your state driver’s license agency on how to obtain a REAL ID compliant card.

For more information on REAL ID and Air Travel, CLICK HERE.

INOCULATION & HEALTH

All guests must ensure that they are medically and physically fit for travel. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) provide guidelines as to which vaccinations are required in each country. In many cases, inoculations are recommended but, in some circumstances, they are required. We recommend that you check with your healthcare professional, or a Travel Medicine Specialist certified by the WHO for guidance. CTTE and NCL shall be entitled to take such health precautions as may be recommended by CDC and/or WHO, such as, for example only, taking your temperature at any time and performing other tests recommended to prevent the s spread of communicable disease. Other informational resources can be accessed at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Traveler’s Health website or toll-free at 1-877-FYI-TRIP, and the World Health Organization website.

COVID-19 Vaccination and testing: It is NOT currently required that you be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to the 2025 Cruise to the Edge OR that you be tested before embarkation, though this is subject to change based on revisions to NCL and/or CDC guidelines. Nevertheless, Cruise to the Edge staff and guests will be required to follow any and all health & safety protocols that have been put in place by NCL, the CDC, and/or state and local governments within our itinerary at the time of our sailing. This applies to COVID-19, other illnesses and diseases, and other events. Guests understand that these protocols are subject to change at any time and all guests must comply or they will be denied boarding. This includes, but is not limited to vaccinations required, testing requirements (as set forth in greater detail below), and masking.

PASSENGERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

By booking the Cruise, you represent and warrant to CTTE and NCL that you, and those traveling with you, are physically fit to travel at the time of embarkation. Neither CTTE nor NCL shall have any liability for damages or losses you suffer because you are not physically fit to travel.

Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who will be up to 23 weeks pregnant by the end of the cruise are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel. NCL cannot, for health and safety reasons, carry passengers who are more than 23 weeks pregnant at the time of embarkation and shall have no responsibility or liability for damages or losses of any kind suffered by such Passengers during the Cruise. NCL reserves the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse passage if NCL and/or the ship’s Master are not satisfied that the Passenger will be safe during the passage.

Boarding will be denied to any person who will enter her twenty-fourth week of pregnancy by the time of the Cruise or during the cruise, and to infants under six months old. You must notify CTTE at the time of booking of any disability or other medical or physical condition that may require special assistance during the Cruise. Your failure to do so will release the Released Parties from any liability for loss, damages or other compensation arising from or related in any way to such disability or condition. CTTE and NCL reserve the right to require that any passenger who is not self-sufficient travel with a companion (at passenger’s cost) who shall take responsibility for any assistance needed during the Cruise and in case of emergency.

MEDICAL CARE

You assume all risks associated with travel and transportation on the Cruise (another reason it is highly recommended that you purchase travel insurance). When looking into travel insurance, it is important to research and understand what is covered under your policy. While at sea or in port, the availability of medical care may be limited and/or delayed. You acknowledge that all or part of the Cruise may be in areas where medical care and/or evacuation may not be available. You agree to indemnify and reimburse CTTE and/or NCL in the event that either party, in its sole discretion, advances to you the cost of emergency medical care, including medical evacuation and/or medical care provided ashore, as well as transportation and/or lodging in connection therewith. Neither CTTE nor NCL shall have any responsibility to advance any such costs.

LUGGAGE/PERSONAL BELONGINGS

NCL and CTTE assume no responsibility for passengers’ luggage or personal belongings. Any luggage or personal belongings left at the pier or on the vessel after final debarkation will be forwarded to guest’s address only at the guest’s expense. Claims for luggage loss or damage must be made in writing to debarkation personnel prior to leaving the pier area. All luggage must be stored in the Passenger’s cabin. Pets, dangerous or illegal items such as weapons, explosives, combustible substances, non-prescription controlled substances, or illegal drugs may not be brought onboard the ship. Any such items shall be surrendered to security at embarkation and may be disposed of at the sole discretion of NCL. All luggage and personal items, both hand-carried and checked, is subject to search.

CTTE and NCL assume no responsibility or liability for loss, including by theft, of your luggage and/or possessions during the Cruise. You are encouraged to NOT bring valuable items on the Cruise.

CABINS

You acknowledge that while all rooms within a cabin category are substantially similar, they may differ in minor ways in terms of size and/or layout. At no time is cabin configuration guaranteed.

ROOMMATES

Your selection of a roommate for the Cruise is at your own risk. If you request CTTE to select or assign a roommate for you, CTTE may do so as an accommodation to you, but you acknowledge that this selection or assignment shall be at your own risk, as (i) CTTE does not “vet” potential roommates in any way or investigate the potential compatibility of roommates, and (ii) CTTE makes no representations or warranties of any kind to you as to the compatibility, suitability, or background of any roommate assigned to you. CTTE and its Released Parties are not responsible nor liable to you in any way for any and all claims or cause of action arising out of or in connection with your selection of a roommate for the Cruise or the assignment of a roommate to you by CTTE, including, without limitation, any claims arising out of injuries or damages suffered by you to your person or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from such request, selection or assignment. For example, CTTE and the Released Parties shall have no responsibility, obligation, or liability to you in the event of fights between roommates, theft, sexual or other harassment by your roommate, or other inconsiderate behavior by your roommate. CTTE shall have no obligation or responsibility of any kind, or for any reason, to separate and move you or your roommate into other accommodations on board.

NO SALE OF MERCHANDISE BY YOU

You may not sell, promote, distribute, or offer for sale any merchandise, goods, souvenirs, or other products on the Cruise without first obtaining CTTE’s written approval. You may not permanently disembark the Cruise ship, or remove any merchandise from it, at any port in the United States, its districts, territories, or possessions, other than at the port of final disembarkation (Miami).

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO

CTTE and/or its promotional partners will have photographers, videographers and the like on the Cruise to film or photograph Passengers, and CTTE and/or its promotional partners shall have the exclusive right to use or include photographic, video and other visual portrayals of Passengers in any medium of any nature whatsoever, worldwide, in perpetuity, for the purpose of trade, advertising, sales, publicity or otherwise, without compensation to Passengers, and all rights, title and interest therein (including all worldwide copyrights therein) shall belong to CTTE and shall be CTTE’s sole property, free from any claims by Passengers or any person deriving any rights or interest from Passenger. A photo and/or video crew will be shooting photographs and footage to be used for the promotion of future CTTE events. When the video team or camera crew is shooting in any particular location/venue on the ship, your presence in said location/venue constitutes your irrevocable permission for your likeness to be used in the video or photograph by CTTE and/or its promotional partners for their future promotional videos or still pictures, worldwide, in perpetuity, in all media. If you do not wish to be filmed, please notify the video or camera crew, and be prepared for them to ask you to exit the location/venue for a short time until taping/shooting is complete.

PHOTO POLICY FOR PASSENGERS; PHOTO EXPERIENCES

Guests may be permitted to take photos onboard the cruise and during performances with small, non-professional digital cameras and cell phones. Out of respect for our performers and your fellow guests, we ask that you please NOT use flash during shows. Professional quality cameras with detachable lenses and video specific cameras are strictly prohibited. In addition, any and all videotaping or audio recording of performances, appearances, Q&As, etc. is prohibited.

The Cruise may include one or more “Photo Experience” scheduled by CTTE where Passengers may have a photograph taken with a musical artist by a photographer provided by CTTE during a scheduled time period. The allotted time period may not allow all interested Passengers to have their picture taken with the artist(s), and Passengers shall respect the time limitations. For each Photo Experience, Passengers agree to abide by the following rules in connection with each Photo Experience:

1. Passengers will line up in orderly fashion to wait to have their photo taken, and will follow the instructions of CTTE staff to facilitate allowing as many Passengers as possible to have their picture taken with the artist(s);
2. Passengers shall only go through the line once, and there shall only be one photograph taken of the Passenger per artist/band;     
3. Passengers will refrain from making small talk with the artist to facilitate moving the line along so others can have their pictures taken;
4. Passengers will not take their own pictures, or have anyone take pictures other than the photographer provided by CTTE, of their Photo Experience (no taking of pictures by personal cameras or phone); 
5. Passengers will not ask artists for autographs during the Photo Experience to facilitate moving the line along so others can have their pictures taken; 
6. To enable as many Passengers as possible to have their picture taken with the artist(s), and to respect the time and privacy of the artist(s), Passengers shall not linger or loiter at the Photo Experience venue before or after their photograph is taken; and 
7. Once the scheduled time period for the Photo Experience has ended, Passengers will disburse in peaceful fashion and leave the Photo Experience venue, even if there was not time to take Passenger’s photograph with the artist(s).

REFUSAL OF PASSAGE

Transportation on the Cruise may be denied to any person who, in CTTE or NCL’s sole discretion: (1) is or becomes in such a condition as to be unfit to travel; (2) is dangerous or obnoxious to others; (3) has a communicable disease or illness that may be harmful to others (including testing positive for COVID-19); or (4) is inadmissible to the country under the laws of any country of debarkation. In addition, CTTE and NCL reserve the right to refuse passage, or to disembark or to confine to a stateroom, any Passenger whose physical or mental condition or behavior they consider, in CTTE and/or NCL’s sole discretion, to constitute a risk to the person’s own well-being or the well-being of any other person, and such person waives all claims relating to such actions by CTTE and/or NCL. CTTE and/or NCL have the right to disallow booking or boarding to any Passenger, who in the opinion of CTTE and/or NCL may impact the cruise, the business or reputation of CTTE and/or NCL, other Passengers, or artists in a negative or disruptive way. CTTE and NCL shall have full discretion and unilateral rights to make any such decisions. The Released Parties shall have no liability to any such person or any third party for damages or claims arising out of any such decisions described in this paragraph. Any costs resulting from CTTE and/or NCL’s decision, including, without limitation, costs of lodging and transportation, shall be the responsibility solely of the Passenger.

PASSENGER DUTY

Passenger, or if a minor, his or her parent or guardian, shall be liable to, and shall reimburse NCL, CTTE, and the other Released Parties for, any damage to the Released Parties’ property, the Vessel, the Transport or any property of NCL or CTTE, or claims or losses suffered by or made against NCL and/or CTTE, caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any willful or negligent act or omission on the part of the Passenger. Additionally, Passenger, or if a minor, his or her parent or guardian, shall further indemnify NCL, CTTE, and the other Released Parties and each and all of their agents and servants against all liability which the Released Parties may incur towards any person or company or government for any personal injury, death or damage to property caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any willful or negligent act or omission on the part of Passenger.

If, during the Cruise, Passenger feels that his/her safety is jeopardized by the act of any person, or if Passenger is injured by the act of any person or in any other incident (collectively referred to as an “Incident”), Passenger shall immediately report this Incident to the CTTE Hospitality Desk onboard the Cruise. In such instance, Passenger shall cooperate with CTTE in any investigation of the Incident that CTTE may conduct, in CTTE’s discretion. Passenger acknowledges that a failure to report any Incident to CTTE during the Cruise will hinder and possibly prevent CTTE’s ability to investigate such Incident, and in the event of such failure to timely report prior to the end of the Cruise (i) CTTE and NCL shall have no liability or responsibility to Passenger or others arising out of the Incident, and (ii) Passenger irrevocably waives the right to make any claim and/or to seek damages of any kind against CTTE, NCL and/or the Released Parties arising out of or relating to the Incident.

Passenger has a duty to exercise reasonable care and prudence in Passenger’s conduct during the Cruise. In the event Passenger fails to exercise such care and prudence and suffers injuries as a result, CTTE and NCL shall have no liability or responsibility to Passenger for such injuries, and Passenger irrevocably waives the right to make any claim and/or to seek damages of any kind against CTTE, NCL, and/or the Released Parties arising out of or relating to such injury.

PASSENGER CONDUCT; RULES

During the Cruise, Passenger shall abide by and conduct him/herself in accordance with all rules, regulations, and directions of CTTE and/or NCL (the “Rules”), including the Rules set forth in these Terms & Conditions and the Rules of which Passenger is made aware during the Cruise (including all COVID-19 safety/health protocols).

Passenger agrees to immediately comply with the requests of security personnel.

Additionally, during the Cruise, including all performances and events, it is forbidden for Passengers to:

In the event of a violation of the Rules or these Terms & Conditions by Passenger during a performance and/or the Cruise, Passenger acknowledges that security personnel will act quickly to protect the artists, other passengers, and cruise and CTTE personnel, and to prevent Passenger from disrupting the performance or creating safety issues for others. Such action may include prohibiting Passenger from attending Cruise performances and events, and/or removal from the Cruise. Passenger hereby irrevocably releases CTTE and/or NCL from any injuries, claims or losses suffered by Passenger as a result of the actions of security or other personnel (including physical acts) or actions of other passengers in the event of Passenger’s violation of these Rules or Terms & Conditions.

Passenger shall not put any person in danger for their safety or well-being or engage in a fight or other altercation with any person, onboard the Cruise.

In the event of a disruption of a performance by Passenger in violation of the Rules, or a fight in which Passenger is a participant, CTTE and/or NCL shall have the right, in its discretion, to remove Passenger from the performance, to bar Passenger from future performances during the Cruise, to remove Passenger from the Cruise at any port (at Passenger’s sole expense), and/or to ban Passenger from attending any future NCL or CTTE cruises and/or events (including a cruise or event run by any companies affiliated with NCL or CTTE). In the event of any other violation of these Standard Terms and Conditions or Passenger Rules by Passenger, CTTE and/or NCL shall have the right, in their discretion, to remove Passenger from the Cruise at any port (at Passenger’s sole expense) and/or to ban Passenger from attending any future NCL or CTTE cruises (including a cruise by any companies affiliated with NCL or CTTE).

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; RELEASE

You acknowledge and understand that producing musical performances/productions and appearances on a cruise ship involves building a stage, installing lighting and sound equipment, and setting up other related equipment, including wiring and electrical equipment. CTTE will use good faith efforts to do this in a safe manner. Nevertheless, you are directed to stay away from and not touch any such materials or equipment, as improper use or interference with such materials or equipment can result in injuries to your person, including, but not limited to falls. In addition, you are solely responsible to avoid any contact whatsoever, whether purposeful, inadvertent, or accidental, with any performance, production, or appearance related materials or equipment that may be present in the general vicinity of the staging areas around the ship. As set forth below, CTTE, NCL, and the Released Parties shall have no responsibility or liability for any injuries you suffer as a result of your purposeful, inadvertent, or accidental contact with such materials or equipment.

By booking the Cruise, you (the Passenger) and all persons booked on your reservation hereby release and hold harmless the Released Parties, from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of or in connection with your travel on and participation in the Cruise, including, but not limited to: (1) injury (which may be physical and/or emotional), illness (including COVID-19 or other communicable disease), death (for any reason, including communicable disease) or delay of Passengers, or loss, damage or delay of or to Passengers’ baggage or other property, which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from participation in the Cruise, including, without limitation, exposure to other Passengers, ship crew, and/or talent, conditions on board the cruise ship, Passenger’s use of or participation in any shore excursion, conditions at any port of call, and/or on board concession or athletic or recreational activity; (2) injury (which may be physical and/or emotional), illness, death or delay of Passengers which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Passenger’s venturing into areas containing equipment relating to performances, Cruise events, and/or celebrity appearances (for example only, if Passenger is injured as a result of tripping over a lighting cord or sound equipment); (3) if Passenger is injured as a result of diminished capacity caused by alcohol or drug intake; (4) your request for or selection of a roommate for the Cruise or the assignment of a roommate to you if no request is made by you; (5) emotional distress, mental suffering or anguish or psychological injury of any kind under any circumstances (except when such damages were caused by the Released Parties’ negligence and resulted from the same Passenger’s sustaining actual physical injury, or having been at risk of actual physical injury, or when such damages are held to have been intentionally inflicted by the Released Parties); (6) any postponement or cancellation of the Cruise (except as otherwise set forth herein); (7) any change in scheduled Cruise events, musical artist appearances, and/or celebrity appearances; (8) violation of the Rules (including COVID-19 safety protocols) by you; or (9) injury, illness, or death caused by other Passengers or your exposure to other Passengers, talent, and/or crew and/or spread of contagions among Passengers, talent, and/or crew; or (10) if NCL exercises its rights set forth herein. You further agree that the Released Parties shall not be held vicariously liable for the intentional or negligent acts of any persons not employed by any of the Released Parties, nor for any intentional or negligent acts of any of the Released Parties’ employees committed while off duty or outside the course and scope of their employment.

CTTE and NCL will use reasonable precautions to try to prevent the spread of diseases on board during the Cruise, but it cannot make any guarantees in this regard, and cannot guarantee that passengers, talent, and crew are and will be free of communicable diseases. As a result, as set forth above, CTTE and NCL shall have no responsibility for any illnesses (including, but not limited to, COVID-19) contracted by Passengers as a result of exposure on-board during the Cruise, and/or for any damages or losses suffered by Passengers (including, but not limited to, medical expenses), including death, as a result of exposure to other Passengers, talent and crew during the Cruise.

Except where prohibited by law or as covered by the Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9, U.S. Code, (“AAA”) you (the Passenger) expressly agree that (1) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with the Cruise, but in no event attorney’s fees; and (2) you waive the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct or indirect damages.

In the event that an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction holds any of the foregoing to be unenforceable, then the Released Parties’ liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. In addition, in such case:

• Claims for Personal Injury, Illness or Death: – Subject to these Terms & Conditions, the Released Parties shall not be liable for any claims whatsoever for the personal injury (physical and/or emotional), illness or death of a Passenger, unless otherwise permitted hereunder and the Passenger has first notified the CTTE Hospitality Desk of such injury or illness during the Cruise if the injury or illness first occurred during the Cruise (so that CTTE may begin to gather information about such injury or illness while the Cruise is still going on), and full particulars in writing are thereafter given to CTTE by Passenger within 90 days after the date of the injury, event, illness or death giving rise to the claim. Legal action to recover on any such claim shall not be maintainable unless filed within one (1) year after the date of the injury, event, illness, or death. You (the Passenger) expressly waive all other potentially applicable state or federal limitations periods.

• Claims other than Personal Injury, Illness or Death: – · Subject to these Terms & Conditions, the Released Parties shall not be liable for claims unrelated to personal injury, illness or death of a Passenger unless otherwise permitted hereunder and the Passenger has first notified the CTTE Hospitality Desk of the existence of such claim and supporting information known about it during the Cruise if such claim was or should have been known to the Passenger during the Cruise (so that CTTE may begin to gather information about such claim while the Cruise is still going on). Full particulars in writing must be given to CTTE within 90 days after the Passenger is landed from the Cruise. Legal action to recover on any claim whatsoever other than for personal injury, illness or death shall not be maintainable unless filed within one year after the date the Passenger is landed from the Cruise or the Cruise is abandoned. You (the Passenger) expressly waive all other potentially applicable state or federal limitations periods.

THE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES SET FORTH IN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CONTRACT SHALL ALSO APPLY TO AND BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF AGENTS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, CONCESSIONAIRES AND SUPPLIERS OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, TOGETHER WITH THE EMPLOYEES AND SERVANTS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE RELEASED PARTIES OR NCL BE LIABLE TO PASSENGER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

• No Refunds For Postponement Due To Force Majeure Event

In the event of a postponement of the Cruise because of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, there are no refunds of your fare/ticket price paid.

• Refunds Upon Cancellation Or Postponement For Reasons Primarily Within CTTE's Control

In the event of cancellation or postponement of the Cruise for reasons that are primarily within CTTE’s control (for example, for reasons other than a Force Majeure Event, but not including reasons caused substantially by NCL), CTTE’s sole obligation to you shall be one of the following, at your option, (i) to return your fare/ticket price paid, less a pro-rata deduction if the Cruise is only partially cancelled, or (ii) to give you a credit equal to your fare/ticket price paid towards a future CTTE cruise or CTTE alternative land-based event.

• Refunds In The Event Reservation Cancelled Because NCL Reduces Available Number Of Cabins

CTTE will not knowingly sell more cabins than the available number of cabins set forth in its agreement with NCL. However, in the event NCL reduces the available number of cabins for the Cruise below the number stated in its agreement with CTTE for any reason (for example only, for reasons of safety, Passenger health, or in order to comply with government safety/health guidelines related to COVID-19), and if CTTE at the time of such reduction has already accepted more cabin reservations than would be available because of such reduction, CTTE may, in its sole discretion, have to cancel your reservation. In such an event, CTTE’s sole obligation to you shall be one of the following, at your option, (i) to return your fare/ticket price paid, or (ii) to give you a credit equal to your fare/ticket price paid towards a future CTTE cruise or CTTE alternative land-based event.

CTTE shall not be held responsible for Passenger deposits held by NCL, but not refunded to CTTE, upon cancellation as a result of a Force Majeure Event.

Please note that the availability of any refund for travel insurance and/or other travel products (airfare, hotel, car rental) you may purchase, even if purchased in conjunction with the Cruise, is not within CTTE’s control and will be determined (if at all) by your insurance provider or other applicable provider in accordance with the applicable cancellation policies of the provider for such insurance or other products or services. CTTE and NCL are not the providers of travel insurance and/or other such travel products and have no responsibility for or liability in connection with such products.

ARTIST CANCELLATION, ILLNESS, FAILURE TO APPEAR OR PERFORM

CTTE has engaged multiple musical acts for the Cruise. CTTE has entered into an agreement with each such performing artist or band, as applicable, under which the artist or band is to be present on board the Cruise and appear and perform in accordance with terms specified therein. However, on occasion an artist is ill, or is unwilling or unable to appear, and CTTE cannot guarantee the appearance and/or performance by any particular artist or band (including any specific member of a band). In such event, neither CTTE nor NCL shall be liable or responsible in any way to Passengers or others for the failure of any artist or musician (including an artist or musician who is a member of a band), to appear on board to perform or provide other services under artist’s (or the band of which artist is a member) agreement with CTTE, or to give a performance that is satisfactory to Passengers.  Further, neither CTTE nor NCL shall be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, cost, or expense of any kind (including, but not limited to, actual damages, consequential damages, or travel-related expenses or damages) to any Passenger or any other person or entity (i) in the event that such performance or appearance does not occur because of the failure of any artist or musician to appear on board or to perform pursuant to such artist, band, or musician’s agreement with CTTE, (ii) because such appearance or performance by an artist, musician or band is prevented or caused by or results directly or indirectly from any act of God, war, fire, illness, public health issues (i.e., viruses, diseases, contagions, pandemics, air quality or other environmental issues that might affect the health of the artist, musician or band) collision, directions of underwriters, arrest, order or restraint by any government agency or official acting under color of authority, acts of terrorism, labor disturbances or disputes, civil commotion, weather conditions and considerations of the safety of the vessel (for which the Master of the vessel shall be the sole judge), breakdowns of or damage to the vessel’s hull or machinery, requisition of the vessel by governmental authority, illness or death of artist, illness or death of a family member of artist, or any other cause or circumstance beyond CTTE’s reasonable control, or (iii) artist’s appearing on board but being unable or unwilling to satisfactorily fulfill all of artist’s responsibilities required under its agreement (or the agreement of the band of which artist is a member) with CTTE. In the event of any failure of contracted artists (including an artist who is a member of a band that has contracted with CTTE) to perform during the Cruise through no substantial fault of CTTE, CTTE, in its sole discretion, may (but shall have no obligation to) engage a replacement artist, band, or artists, schedule additional performances by other artists appearing on board, or may change, postpone or terminate all or any part of the Cruise or the entertainment program or change the program or itinerary. Regardless, CTTE, shall have no liability of any kind to any Passenger for any loss, damage, cost, or expense whatsoever suffered or incurred by Passenger by reason of such change. 

If any contracted artist(s) or musician(s) (including an individual artist or musician who is a member of a band contracted to perform on the Cruise by CTTE) does not appear on board to perform during the Cruise, or appears on board but is unable to or does not perform and/or participate in other activities on board through no substantial fault of CTTE, or gives an unsatisfactory or unprofessional performance, Passenger shall have no right to cancel his/her agreement with CTTE with respect to the Cruise, to receive any refund of any monies paid to CTTE in connection with the Cruise, or to receive any other monies or remedy from CTTE, and CTTE shall have no liability or responsibility of any kind to Passenger, including but not limited to liability for actual damages, consequential damages, or travel-related expenses or damages.

COVID-19 (AND OTHER DISEASES) PROVISIONS

As Of April 2024, – Vaccination of passengers against COVID-19 (including boosters), is NOT currently required before boarding the Cruise. In addition, guests (regardless of vaccination status) are NOT currently required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, though this is subject to change based on revisions to NCL and/or CDC guidelines. 

However, Cruise to the Edge staff and guests will be required to follow any and all health & safety protocols that have been put in place by NCL, the CDC and/or state and local governments within our itinerary at the time of our sailing. This applies to COVID-19 and beyond. Guests understand that these protocols are subject to change at any time and all guests must comply or they will be denied boarding. This includes, but is not limited to vaccinations required, testing requirements, and masking.

For the safety of passengers and crew, CTTE and NCL will endeavor to comply with recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the Cruise to the extent practicable. You agree to comply with all standards of conduct, rules and regulations, protocols, and travel restrictions imposed by CTTE and/or NCL (whether imposed before or during the Cruise) in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other diseases, including, without limitation, the following (and which are subject to change based on CDC recommendations):

1. While vaccination is not currently required, this is subject to change based on CDC recommendations.
2. While testing prior to embarkation is not currently required, this is subject to change based on CDC recommendations.
3. Submit to COVID screening and/or testing at any time during the Cruise, including prior to boarding and/or re-boarding
4. If requested at any time by CTTE and/or NCLP for safety purposes, practice social distancing on board the ship at all times, including during musical performances (i.e., maintain at least 6 feet of separation between you and crew, performers, and guests not in your family/party).
5. Wash your hands frequently.
6. Conform to rules that limit the size of crowds and audiences on the Cruise.
7. Report any illness or symptoms to CTTE.
8. While masks are not currently required, this is subject to change based on CDC recommendations.

For the safety of persons on the Cruise, if Passenger believes he/she has contracted COVID-19 during the Cruise, Passenger shall report this to the CTTE Hospitality Desk. Similarly, if Passenger tests positive for COVID-19 within 3 weeks after the end of the Cruise, Passenger is requested to advise CTTE by emailing the reservations team at:  reservations@cruisetotheedge.com, so that CTTE can comply with appropriate health-authority guidelines.

If Passenger tests positive for COVID-19 while on the Cruise, Passenger agrees to follow procedures established by CTTE and NCL to ensure the safety of other persons on the ship, including but not limited to, quarantining of Passenger for the remainder of the Cruise.

If a threshold level of COVID-19 or other diseases that the vessel Master or NCL deems unsafe to passengers is detected onboard the Cruise ship during your voyage, the voyage will end immediately, the ship will return to the port of embarkation, and your subsequent travel, including your return home, may be restricted, or delayed. Health and safety protocols, guest conduct rules, and regional travel restrictions are constantly evolving and are subject to change without notice.

SHIP-RELATED ISSUES

The cruise ship itself is controlled and operated by NCL, not CTTE. Passenger acknowledges and agrees that CTTE shall have no responsibility or liability of any kind to Passenger for any issues, claims or damages of any kind arising because of conditions on the ship itself – such as, but not limited to, mechanical issues on board, ship equipment, facilities provided on board (i.e., swimming pool, bars, furniture, etc.) food and beverages served on the ship, lodging conditions (including beds, room furniture, plumbing, electrical), and/or ship health and safety issues.

DECISIONS OF NCL

You will receive NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract Terms and Conditions (the “NCL PASSENGER CONTRACT”) with your Cruise ticket. The NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract constitutes your agreement with NCL.  The NCL Contract provides that NCL may exercise its rights in a variety of matters, including, without limitation: (i) it has the right to alter the ship’s course, ports of call, itinerary, activity and shore excursions, for any reason, to ensure the comfort and safety of the Passengers and crew; (ii) it has the right to make a decision to comply with any order, recommendation or direction given by any government or other person or CTTE, including to cancel the remainder of the Cruise for health and public safety reasons; and (iii) it has the right to make a decision to deny boarding to, confine to a stateroom or disembark any Cruise Passenger. The Released Parties (as defined above) shall not be liable to you or any third party for any claim or cause of action arising, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of NCL exercising any of its rights as provided in the NCL Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Parties shall not be liable to any Cruise Passenger for a full or partial refund of any Cruise fare, or for any lodging or transportation expenses, as a result of NCL exercise of its contractual rights.

LIMITATION OF DAMAGES; CHOICE OF LAW

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules other than the FAA (whether of the State of Wyoming or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Wyoming. In no event may punitive, consequential, or indirect damages be awarded.

MISCELLANEOUS

NCL reserves the right to substitute the Cruise vessel. Any consequences arising out of NCL’s exercise of this right shall be governed by the agreement between NCL and CTTE, and not by the NCL agreement with you, the Passenger. Furthermore, in the event of any conflict between the NCL Terms and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will prevail.

These Terms and Conditions and the terms accepted during the Cruise reservation process contain the entire agreement between CTTE and Passenger (and all persons included on the Passenger’s reservation) and supersedes any other agreements, written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein. Any waiver of any provision of must be made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of CTTE. If any portion shall be determined to be invalid, then said portion shall be deemed severed from the Contract in such jurisdiction only and all remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
