However, Non-VIP Staterooms will receive a $200 discount off the second cruise fare when booking as a single occupancy. Single occupancy reservations will only be charged one (1) mandatory supplement fee of $315 and one (1) fuel surcharge of $55. You can see the pricing for a single passenger at the beginning of the booking process when you selection “1 passenger”.

I DON’T WANT TO GO BY MYSELF, CAN THE CRUISE TO THE EDGE TEAM ARRANGE A ROOMMATE FOR ME?

Unfortunately, we cannot be involved in any cabin matching, however, there is a designated Facebook Page designed to help passengers connect with others in the same situation.

Please be advised that these pages have been set up by Cruise to the Edge fans and not by CTTE, LLC. Therefore, choosing to room with someone you do not know is at your own discretion and neither CTTE, LLC nor Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) will be responsible or liable for any issues related to these matches. Any problems associated with cabin mates (both on board or during the reservation and payment process) will be subject to the same terms and conditions, as any other cabin and the main passenger on the reservation will be held responsible.

DO I NEED A PASSPORT?

Having proper documents is your responsibility and should you be denied boarding or entry for any reason, there will be no refunds. Be sure you are prepared.

All Non-U.S. Citizens are required to travel with a Passport, as well as any other Visas or travel documents required by your departing and/or returning country. 

Although a passport is not necessary at this time for U.S. Citizens, proof of citizenship is required for everyone sailing aboard Cruise to the Edge. We STRONGLY recommend all guests travel with a valid Passport, or a Passport Card. If you do not plan to travel with a passport, PLEASE CLICK HERE for a complete explanation of the travel documentation required

Please understand that this is a U.S. Customs requirement and is not in the hands of those at NCL or Cruise to the Edge. Passengers without the proper documentation will not be permitted on board and no refunds will be issued in these circumstances. NO EXCEPTIONS.

*These requirements could be changed at any time by the U.S. Government and CBP and all guests would need to comply.

ARE THERE ANY DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE?

In an effort to reduce costs even further for our Cruise to the Edge Alumni, we will offer a Paid in Full Discount to any guest who has sailed on ANY of our CTTE cruises in the past as well as books AND pays before the alumni booking period has ended. When booking your cabin, you may select the Paid in Full option during the booking process. Pay your cabin in full and receive a 3% discount off your base cabin fare (not including taxes, fees and/or pre-paid gratuities). Please note that full payment must be received within 72 business hours of booking your cruise.

*The Fine Print -Discount is applicable to base cruise rates only and is not offered on the fuel supplement fee of $55 nor on the mandatory fee supplement of $315 per person for merchant fees, government taxes and fees. The entire cabin must be paid in full to receive this discount. The Paid in Full Discount is only valid during the alumni booking period and expired on Sunday, November 20, 2022 at 11:59 pm Eastern. Once this time has ended, this discount will no longer be valid, and will not be reinstated for any booking. Any cabin that chooses the Paid in Full option but does not pay in full within 72 hours of the booking, will no longer be eligible for the discount. No exceptions.

WHAT IS THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE?

Rates as described on the PRICING page of Cruise to the Edge website, are per person based on double occupancy or as per the number of guests booked in the cabin. All deposits are based on a minimum of two (2) guests per cabin.

WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION/ NO SHOW POLICY?

Due to the unique nature of our event, we have a very strict “NO REFUND/CANCELLATION” policy. No refunds will be issued, unless due primarily to the fault of CTTE, LLC. Therefore, we HIGHLY recommend that passengers consider purchasing travel insurance.

WHAT DOES THE PRICE INCLUDE?

A full description of what is included in your Cruise to the Edge reservation can be found by CLICKING HERE .


CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY RESERVATION OR TRANSFER MY CABIN TO ANOTHER PARTY?

Yes. However, the Passenger who places a reservation for a cabin onboard is considered the cabin’s “Primary” passenger (first guest listed) 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 of $299 USD.  All new passengers are required to complete and return Terms & Conditions before the change will be accepted.

Click here for full details on how to make changes to your reservation.

HOW DO I MAKE A PAYMENT?

We do not automatically process your next payment for you, it is your responsibility to make your payments by the due dates. We will send payment reminders about two (2) weeks prior to due date. You can make a payment at any time by either calling us at (855) 330-2883 or by using the “PAYMENT LINK” located in your confirmation emails.

Payments will show as "SEAPLANNERS" on your billing statement.

CAN I GO ON THE CRUISE IF I’M PREGNANT?

Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who are up to 23 weeks pregnant at the end of the cruise are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel.  Women who will be 24 weeks or more at the time of embarkation for health and safety reasons are not allowed to sail. NCL reserves the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse passage if the Carrier and/or the Master are not satisfied that the Passenger will be safe during the passage.

ARE THERE ANY 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 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 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.

Please note that a notarized letter to this effect is highly suggested. In addition, the NCL Parent/Guardian Consent & Release Form must be filled out 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.


DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

YES! Travel Insurance is not included in your reservation. For most people, a vacation is their third largest investment after a home and car. You don’t question the need for homeowner’s and auto insurance, so why do you think you don’t need travel insurance? You may want to take another look. 

ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE UNDER FULL PENALTY - PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL INVESTMENT!

Due to the nature of this event, all deposits and payments for CRUISE TO THE EDGE are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. Therefore, we highly recommend TRAVEL INSURANCE.


Travel Insurance is NOT included in your reservation. The purchase of insurance is the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through CTTE, LLC.  It is up to each guest to research and decide on a 3rd party vendor of his or her choice for insurance if they choose to do so. CTTE, LLC 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 determined 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. Please note that some policies must be purchased within 14 days from initial deposit.

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE AT THE PIER ON MARCH 8TH?

For those of you that love crowds, enjoy standing in the hot Florida sun and humidity, prefer to be annoyed by the person behind you that continues to fling his sweat onto you and step on the back of your sandal, arrive at Port Miami early on March 8th, so you are nice and annoyed by the time you are actually scheduled to check-in.

For those that would prefer to get to the pier, check in relatively quickly in an air-conditioned building, and then quickly proceed onto the ship for a cocktail, please arrive at your designated check-in time you will select during your check-in process.

ALL passengers are required to be on board NO LATER than 2:00 pm as we will sail at 4:00 pm. 

NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for passengers that arrive after 2:00 pm.

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.


WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

March temperatures in the Caribbean range from an average low of 73-degrees to an average high of 83-degrees. It is suggested that you pack lightweight, “resort casual” clothing — a few swimsuits, flip-flops, sandals or deck shoes for around the pool area, sneakers, walking shoes or hiking boots for shore trips, etc. If you like to exercise or participate in sports, bring any fitness clothing and footwear you may need.

Some of the shows and activities will be taking place outdoors, and there is always the chance of it being windy, cool, or even a little wet. Therefore, we suggest also packing some warmer clothing and light rain gear just to be on the safe side. Also be sure to bring your cameras, batteries and chargers, and enough film or memory cards to capture the entire event. And don’t forget ear plugs for the young ones (or yourself), sunscreen and lip balm.

For most evenings, resort casual is appropriate. However, t-shirts, shorts, and/or bare feet are not permitted in the formal dining rooms after 6:00 pm. Should we have a formal night, cocktail dresses for women and suits or jacket and ties for men are typically appropriate. We’ll let you know more about all the theme days/nights as we get closer to sailing.

We recommend that you hand-carry all your travel documents (passports, birth certificates, airline tickets, etc.) medications, jewelry, and any personal items that you may need in a separate carry-on bag. You should NOT put these items into checked luggage as they could become lost and prevent you from boarding the ship. Also, your luggage may take a few hours before it is delivered to your cabin.

On the last evening of your cruise your luggage will be collected for disembarkation the following morning. You may want to pack a separate overnight bag to accommodate your last evenings’ clothes and toiletries to carry off the ship with you.

WHAT SHOULD I NOT PACK?

No illegal substances, no alcohol or non-alcoholic beverages, food, weapons, or pets. The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited onboard Cruise to the Edge and Norwegian Cruise Line. All US and International laws pertaining to drug use should be respected and will be strictly enforced. Please refer to our Shipboard Etiquette Policy.

HOW MANY PIECES OF LUGGAGE CAN I BRING?

Each guest is permitted to carry a reasonable amount of personal property (including luggage) aboard the vessel; however, for your comfort and convenience, it is recommended that you limit the number of pieces you take. Keep in mind that airlines may charge for excess or oversize luggage. Charges incurred for excess or oversize baggage are the sole responsibility of the passenger. Each airline has a different limit on the amount of luggage they allow. Check with your air carrier for specific restrictions, such as allowance of weight and any additional charges.

Bring an overnight bag for your last night at sea. Staff will collect your bags the night before you leave the ship, and you will need an overnight bag to carry your night clothes and toiletries.

CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD, DRINKS OR ALCOHOL ON THE SHIP?

Per NCL’s policies, guests are prohibited from bringing any beverages* — including liquor, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks such as water, soda, and juices — on board either as carry-on or checked luggage, except for purified or distilled water in factory-sealed containers for use in conjunction with medical devices or for the reconstitution of infant formula. Open beverages of any kind must be consumed or discarded at the security checkpoint, on embarkation day and at any port of call.

*Guests may bring sealed bottles of wine on board for personal consumption. They will be checked prior to embarkation and a corkage fee applied at that time of $15.00 USD for a 750 ml Bottle or $30.00 USD for a 1,500 ml Magnum bottle. Box wines are not allowed on board.
