CRUISE TO THE EDGE TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please read the following Terms and Conditions, including the “no refunds” and special COVID-19 provisions included below. This document contains important limitations on your rights and the rights of all persons included in your reservation. These are legally binding documents, and by making your reservation on the Cruise, you and all persons listed on your reservation are agreeing to abide by and be legally bound by all of these Terms and Conditions. This document contains additional contractual terms, conditions, and limitations between you and CTTE 2027, LLC, an entity created under the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA , Norwegian Cruise Line , and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, related companies, agents and contractors (collectively referred to herein as the “Released Parties”), with respect to this Cruise.

These Terms & Conditions are incorporated into and made a part of your Cruise booking/agreement with CTTE and your NCL Ticket Contract (“NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract”), and you agree to be bound by them. You agree that these Terms & Conditions are subject to change by CTTE and/or NCL in their good faith discretion, as long as you are given notice of such change(s).

In the event of any conflict between the terms of these Terms & Conditions and any provisions of the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract, including but not limited to terms regarding refunds, these Terms & Conditions will govern.

All references to “Guest”, “guest”, “you” or “your” shall have the same meaning as “Passenger” for purposes of this Contract and the words Guest, guest, you, your, and Passenger as used in these Terms & Conditions shall include each person listed on a Cruise Ticket Contract and each person, other than CTTE personnel, NCL personnel, and artists and artist personnel, who embarks on the Cruise or attends any Cruise or Cruise related event, whether or not listed on a Cruise Ticket Contract. All terms shall be considered gender neutral, and pronouns shall refer to the masculine and feminine, as context requires.

NCL CRUISE/CRUISETOUR TICKET CONTRACT

By making this Cruise reservation, or by acceptance and/or use of the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract, each Passenger and Guest included on the same reservation, acknowledges he or she has read, and understands (or if a minor, such person’s parent, guardian, or representative has read and understands) each and every term, condition, and provision of the NCL Cruise/Cruisetour Ticket Contract and accepts and agrees to be bound thereby.

Passenger acknowledges and expressly agrees CTTE (and its affiliates) are acting solely in their capacity as tour operators, brokers and independent contractors arranging this cruise and that CTTE has no right or ability to control or direct the operational or navigational activities of the vessel or crew in any manner whatsoever whether aboard the ship or ashore, including and without limitation to, persons furnishing services to the vessel or to the passengers including shore side excursions, personnel, or contractors, embarkation and disembarkation to and from the vessel, the condition of the vessel and its equipment. CTTE shall have no responsibility or liability to you for any claims or damages relating to activities described in the preceding sentence.

CRUISE FARE

All talent/entertainment related fees, your accommodations on board the ship, all meals in the main dining room(s) and cafeteria, other casual dining throughout the day, basic non-carbonated beverages (coffee, tea, juices, etc.), use of the ship’s pools, and use of health & fitness centers are included in your cabin fare. PLEASE NOTE STANDARD ONBOARD GRATUITIES ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR CABIN FARE. THESE ARE MANDATORY AND WILL NOT BE WAIVED. Certain members of Carrier’s crew are compensated by a combination of salary and incentive programs that are funded in part by the service charge paid by each Guest. This fee acknowledges and rewards service provided in all departments and job categories. A portion of the service charge collected is used for fleet-wide crew welfare programs. Gratuities to casino dealers and spa personnel are not included in Standard Onboard Gratuities, since not all guests will utilize those services. A gratuity for bar services and servers will be included on all bar checks and automatically added to the price of your drinks.

Your base cruise fare does not include a Mandatory Fee Supplement for merchant fees, government taxes, and fees, which will be charged with the balance due on your cabin. These charges are in addition to the Cruise Fare and may include, but are not limited to passenger facility charges, security surcharges, international passenger departure or arrival tax, customs user fee, immigration fee, agricultural inspection fee and miscellaneous ticketing fees. These taxes and fees are subject to increase prior to your departure date, in which case you will be invoiced for the balance. These will be automatically added to your reservation during booking and are non-refundable.

Single occupancy reservations are responsible for and will only be charged one (1) Mandatory Fee Supplement for merchant fees, government taxes, and fees.

Your base Cruise Fare and Mandatory Fee Supplement does not include transportation to/from ship, shore excursions, sightseeing or meals ashore, meals in specialty and à la carte restaurants, room service, laundry, wine, beer, liquors, cocktails, soda, mineral water, bottled water, specialty coffee, other specialty beverages, medical expenses, spa treatments, beauty salon, casino gaming, onboard shopping, travel insurance, or any other items of a personal nature. In addition, CTTE reserves the right to impose an additional Fuel Surcharge should the cruise line implement such a fee for all guests. This would be added to the final payment and would be due in full before sailing.

Your Cruise Fare and any other money paid to CTTE does not include travel insurance of any kind for the Cruise. CTTE does not offer or provide travel insurance. Because of CTTE’s “no refunds” policy, CTTE strongly recommends that for your protection, you should obtain travel insurance from a third-party insurer that includes coverage for, without limitation, “Cancel For Any Reason” that includes coverage for cancellations, delays, postponements, change in duration, and other changes to the scheduled Cruise no matter the reason. CTTE makes no representation or warranties as to what travel insurance will or will not cover, however.

PRICES & PAYMENTS

Rates, as described on the pricing page of the Cruise to the Edge website (www.cruisetotheedge.com) are per person based on double occupancy or as per the number of guests booked in the cabin.

A $50 per person late fee will be applied each time a passenger/reservation does not remit a payment by the required payment deadline. An additional $50 per person late fees will continue to be applied for each 30-day period thereafter until the required payment is made. 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). All deposits and payments are non-refundable.

Should CTTE cancel your reservation due to your failure to make a payment and you wish to reinstate your booking, this will only be approved based on availability and a $150 USD fee will be added to your reservation. This fee, along with the full outstanding balance, must be paid before the reservation will be reinstated. No exceptions.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time by CTTE, passengers who cancel their reservation prior to paying their entire Cruise Fare will remain obligated and liable to pay the balance of the total Cruise Fare and Mandatory Fee Supplement for the reservation booked.

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.

NO REFUNDS

Due to the nature of this event, all deposits and payments to/for CTTE are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON OR CAUSE MAY BE FOR A REFUND REQUEST OR TRANSFER REQUEST, CTTE WILL NOT REFUND OR TRANSFER YOUR DEPOSITS AND/OR PAYMENTS. Therefore, we highly recommend guests purchase 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 that includes coverage for cancellation, delays, postponements, change in duration, and other changes to the scheduled Cruise no matter the reason. 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 of fees will be issued for any reason. 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 for a link to the “Reservation Change Request” form.
  The main 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).
• As stated above, unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time by CTTE, passengers who cancel their reservation prior to paying their entire Cruise Fare will remain obligated and liable to pay the balance of the total Cruise Fare and Mandatory Fee Supplement for the reservation booked.

NO-SHOWS

There will be no refunds given for those who do not show up for embarkation (whether the initial embarkation or for leaving any port of call) on time, for unused tickets, or to those seeking refunds after the Cruise has commenced.

Please note the Cancellation, No Refunds, 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. Any 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 on board 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 Cruise documentation required by CTTE and agree to these 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” link 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 booking information, 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 pay a non-refundable deposit to CTTE equal to the total payment amount then-due based on the above payment due dates; or, if full payment of the Cruise Fare is due at that time, then the non-refundable full payment must be made by the NEW passenger. Once that payment has been made, then the applicable amounts paid by the ORIGINAL traveler will be refunded directly to the original traveler as an exception to CTTE’s “No Refunds” policy. 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 and with no refunds given.

PERMITTED CHANGES, TRANSFERS, AND FEES:

Through August 5, 2026
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 August 5, 2026, will be assessed a $50 fee for each occurrence.

August 6, 2026 – October 19, 2026
Any changes made to a reservation between August 6, 2026 – October 19, 2026, 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 20, 2026 – January 2, 2027
Any changes made to a reservation between October 20, 2026 – January 2, 2027, 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 3, 2027 – March 2, 2027
Any changes made to a reservation between January 3, 2027 – March 2, 2027, 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 3, 2027 – April 2, 2027
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” form. Reservation Change Requests 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.

RIGHT TO CHANGE ITINERARY

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. If the itinerary is changed, shortened, or extended, no refunds will be made to passengers for the fare/ticket price or other monies paid. Additionally, refunds will NOT be made to passengers who elect not to sail or 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 embarking on the scheduled date, time and/or location, disembarking on the scheduled date, time, and/or location, 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, (i) there are no refunds of any monies paid or due, and (ii) 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 expressed 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 refunds, 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 with a 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 will not be entitled to any refund of their fees. NO exceptions will be made at embarkation.

PASSPORT & LEGAL DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS

Below are passport guidelines as of May 2026, however they are subject to change. We strongly encourage all guests to visit the Department of Homeland Security website (http://www.dhs.gov) 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 of monies from CTTE and/or NCL, and neither CTTE nor NCL shall have any liability of any kind to such guests.

Additional Recommendations from CTTE:

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 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.

U.S. CITIZENS

All U.S. Citizens are required to carry ONE of the three sets of document options below:

#1 – U.S. Passport – RECOMMENDED – U.S. Passport must be valid through the dates of travel of the cruise as well as not expired and valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel.

OR;

#2 – Proof of Citizenship (see below) AND Government-issued valid photo ID

• Original or State Certified copy of a Government Issued Birth Certificate with a raised seal or in some cases a holographic image.
• Neither a notarized copy of a birth certificate NOR a Live Hospital Birth Certificate will be accepted by Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”).
• If you are traveling using a birth certificate and you have had a name change (i.e.: due to marriage), you will need to provide proof of that name change (i.e.: marriage license).
• A U.S. Citizen under the age of 16 does not require a government issued photo ID, however, must provide proof of citizenship.
• Consular Report of Birth Abroad – Notarized copies are not acceptable.
  We highly recommend that, if at all possible, guests travel with a Passport.
• Certificate of Naturalization – Notarized copies are not acceptable.
• We highly recommend that, if at all possible, guests travel with a Passport.

OR;

#3 – WHTI (Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) Compliant documents – click here for more information

PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed by the Customs and Border Protection that they will NOT accept the following forms of ID:

1. Notarized Photocopy of a Birth Certificate
2. Notarized Photocopy of a Passport
3. Copy of a Passport
4. Record of Live Birth from a Hospital / Hospital Birth Certificate
5. World Passport
6. Social Security Card
7. Voter Registration Card
8. Baptismal Certificate

These documents are NOT WHTI compliant documents, therefore, are NOT acceptable proof of citizenship.

For more information or to obtain a passport application, visit: www.travel.state.gov.

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 might not be detained 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

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, make no representations or warranties regarding your ability to enter the United States. 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 will not receive any refund of their fees from CTTE. NCL Cruise Line will strictly enforce this documentation requirement to be in compliance with this important U.S. Government mandate.

DOMESTIC AIRLINE TRAVEL ID REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS

Every air traveler 18 years of age and older is required to have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States.

FAMILY LEGAL DOCUMENTS

Adults who are not the Parent or Legal Guardian of any minor child traveling with them are required to present the child’s valid passport and visa (if required) or the child’s birth certificate (original or certified government issued).

In addition, for passengers under the age of 18 traveling with an accompanying adult, who is not the minor’s parent or legal guardian, a Parent/Guardian Consent Form that authorizes the minor’s travel and further authorizes medical treatment in case of an emergency must be delivered to a Norwegian representative at the pier during check-in. Failure to produce this letter at embarkation may result in boarding being denied. Both living parents/legal guardians must sign and complete this form and attach a copy of his/her driver’s license or other government issued identification. Minors of the same parent(s)/legal guardian(s) may be listed on the same form:

• Download and Complete the Parental Consent Release form (PDF)
• Minors or the same parent(s)/legal guardian(s) may be listed on the same form
• Copy of both parents/legal guardians Driver’s License or other Government Issued ID
• Adoptive parents, legal guardians or persons separated or divorced are advised to keep legal and other relevant documents available in order to clarify custody rights.

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 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 2027 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. These protocols may include, but are 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, with no refund of fees, 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 CTTE, NCL and the other 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 an adult 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 selected 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. You agree to release and indemnify CTTE, NCL and the other Released Parties from claims, liabilities, and/or damages that result from any medical care you may receive during the Cruise, whether on board the vessel or on land.

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 the 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 on board 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, are 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 and/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 on board 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:

• 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);
• Passengers shall only go through the line once, and there shall only be one photograph taken of the Passenger per artist/band;
• Passengers will refrain from making small talk with the artist to facilitate moving the line along so others can have their pictures taken;
• 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);
• Passengers will not ask artists for autographs during the Photo Experience to facilitate moving the line along so others can have their pictures taken;
• 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
• 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, with no refunds given, 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 on board the Cruise. In such instances, Passenger shall cooperate with CTTE in any investigation of the Incident that CTTE may conduct, at 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 this Shipboard Etiquette, the Cruise Terms & Conditions and other rules of which Passenger is made aware during the Cruise (including all safety/health protocols). collectively referred to herein as the “Rules”.

PASSENGERS MUST COMPLETE ENTIRE CRUISE; REIMBURSEMENT TO CTTE FOR FAILURE TO DO SO

Due to applicable laws, under most circumstances Passengers will be required to complete the entire Cruise, and failure to do so may result in fines or other penalties being assessed by one or more government agencies. In the event CTTE is required to pay governmental fines or penalties because Passenger and/or another guest included on Passenger’s reservation fail to complete the entire Cruise for any reason, Passenger (and/or such guest, at CTTE’s option) agrees to immediately reimburse CTTE for the total amount of such fines and/or penalties.

ZERO-TOLERANCE DRUG POLICY

CTTE has a zero-tolerance policy regarding the use, possession, purchase, or distribution of illegal controlled substances, including marijuana products. Any violation of this policy will result in disembarkation from the vessel as well as the responsible individuals being turned over to the local law enforcement officials for appropriate legal action, at CTTE’s discretion. In such cases, no refund shall be given, and CTTE and NCL shall not be liable for any refund or other compensation or damages.

INTENTIONAL DAMAGE TO THE VESSEL

CTTE and NCL have a “Zero Tolerance” policy regarding intentional damage to the vessel or accidental damage to the vessel as a result of general negligence, alcohol intoxication or the influence of an illegal substance. Passengers causing any such damage agree to pay for identified damage prior to disembarking the vessel.

All passengers must agree to comply with this policy, and further acknowledge that any violation of this policy may result in disembarkation from the vessel. All passengers acknowledge that it is CTTE and NCL’s policy to report incidents of illegal activity or behavior to the appropriate law enforcement authorities for appropriate legal action. In such cases, CTTE and NCL shall not be liable for any damages, refund or other compensation, including travel costs or any other claim as a result of such behavior.

Bottles are subject to confiscation by NCL for reasons including, but not limited to: (i) attempting to bring more than two (2) bottles of wine or champagne on board; (ii) having a bottle that is unsealed or that has been tampered with; (iii) any bottle that is non-wine (other forms of liquor or beer); (iv) a bottle exceeding 750 ml; (v) any bottle found in a checked bag; (vi) a Passenger refusing to pay the above corkage.

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, and/or other persons, including, but not limited to falls. In addition, you are solely responsible for avoiding 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 (as defined below) 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 (in part or in its entirety) and/or changes in ports of call or itinerary; (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.

CLAIMS LIMITATION

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, damages and awards not released hereunder 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 additional damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential (including loss of profits), incidental, exemplary, 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.

NO REFUNDS IN THE EVENT OF CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF CRUISE, OR CHANGES TO CRUISE, BY CTTE AND/OR NCL FOR ANY REASON.

A. Because of the nature of this charter Cruise, no refunds will be given to you by CTTE and/or NCL for any reason whatsoever, whether the reason is within the control of CTTE or NCL or not within their control, and no matter how caused, including, but not limited to, for the following reasons:

• cancelling, advancing or postponing the Cruise in part or in its entirety;
• cancelling, cutting short, or extending any stop at a port of call;
• cancelling, advancing, postponing, or delaying (in part or in its entirety) the start of the Cruise or the end of the Cruise;
• altering the Cruise itinerary, including the location for embarkation and disembarkation;
• reducing the duration of the Cruise;
• occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, i.e., an event outside of the control of either party, such as, without limitation, labor strikes or disputes, extreme weather, government restriction, illness of key personnel, pandemic or other public health issues, hurricane, tornado, tsunami, earthquake, flood, medical or lifesaving emergencies, vessel damage, war, riots, civil unrest, or similar events, and/or substituting another vessel.

B. 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.

C. CTTE does not offer travel insurance but strongly recommends that you secure travel insurance to try to protect yourself against losses you may incur because of the No Refunds policy. We recommend that you consider third party policies with “Cancel For Any Reason” coverage that also includes coverage for delays, postponements, change in duration, and other changes to the scheduled Cruise. CTTE makes no representation or warranties as to what travel insurance will or will not cover or whether claims will be paid by any travel insurance provider. CTTE is not the provider of travel insurance and/or other such travel products and has no responsibility for or liability to you in connection with such products. Please note that some insurers require that travel insurance policies must be purchased within 14 days of your initial Cruise deposit.

D. CTTE shall not be held responsible for Passenger deposits held by NCL, but not refunded to CTTE upon cancellation, postponement or changes to the Cruise. NCL, CTTE and the Released Parties shall have no liability of any kind to Passengers for any loss, liability, or claims whatsoever in connection with cancellation, postponement, or changes to the Cruise for any reason.

ARTIST CANCELLATION, ILLNESS, FAILURE TO APPEAR OR PERFORM; NO REFUNDS

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 has agreed 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 refund, 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 properly and/or satisfactorily 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, civil unrest, 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 perform and/or 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 or appear during the Cruise through no substantial fault of CTTE, CTTE, in its sole discretion, may (but shall have no obligation to): change, postpone, or terminate any Cruise performances or appearances by such artist or band; engage a replacement artist and/or band (or replacing a band member); change, postpone, or terminate any performance or appearance by the original artist or band; schedule additional performances by other artists appearing on board; or 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, and no refunds will be given to any 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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROVISIONS

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 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and/or state and local governments within our itinerary at the time of our sailing. This applies to all public health matters. 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 required vaccinations, testing requirements, and masking.

For the safety of passengers and crew, CTTE and NCL will endeavor to comply with the 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 illness/diseases including, without limitation, the following (and which are subject to change based on CDC recommendations):

• Vaccinations – while vaccination is not currently required, this is subject to change based on CDC recommendations.
• Testing – while testing prior to embarkation is not currently required, this is subject to change based on CDC recommendations.
• Submit to health screening and/or testing at any time during the Cruise, including prior to boarding and/or re-boarding.
• If needed because of public health conditions.
• 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).
• Wash your hands frequently.
• Conform to rules that limit the size of crowds and audiences on the Cruise.
• Report any illness or symptoms to CTTE.
• 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 a communicable illness or diseases during the Cruise, Passenger shall report this to the CTTE Hospitality Desk. Similarly, if Passenger tests positive for a communicable disease 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 a communicable disease 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 a disease(s) 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; NCL AGREEMENT

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 CTTE and 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.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES; ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION

ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE CRUISE, YOUR USE OF THE CRUISE AND/OR CTTE WEBSITE, AND/OR TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ISSUED, OR SERVICED BY CTTE OR THROUGH CTTE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING, CONFIDENTIAL, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (i.e., THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING A CLASS ACTION IS WAIVED), RATHER THAN IN COURT. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree to the provisions herein, including the waiver of a trial by jury or a judge.

Arbitration will be conducted by and in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to its rules for commercial arbitration before a single arbitrator with at least 10 years’ experience in matters similar to the dispute. The arbitration shall be selected by the parties in accordance with the AAA rules and shall take place exclusively in the State of Wyoming, applying Wyoming law unless provided otherwise herein. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by AAA’s rules.

In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms and Conditions is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against CTTE, its affiliated companies, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and/or agents shall be commenced only in a federal and/or state court located within the State of Wyoming, applying Wyoming law unless provided otherwise herein, and you and CTTE both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

The arbitration provisions of these Terms and Conditions are intended to be broadly interpreted and will survive termination of these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and Conditions and the Passenger’s reservation, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow these Terms and Conditions as a court would. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator can award injunctive relief.

Information on how to file a claim with the American Arbitration Association can be found at adr.org. If you file a claim, you must also notify CTTE of the claim by sending a letter describing your claim to: CTTE 2027, LLC – 1309 Coffeen Avenue, Suite 1200 Sheridan, WY 82801 Attn: President.

We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class action, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

You agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Wyoming law, unless preempted by any federal law.

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, loss of profits, or indirect damages be awarded.

MISCELLANEOUS

NCL reserves the right to substitute the Cruise vessel and/or change its layout, and CTTE bears no responsibility if NCL does so. In the event of any conflict between the NCL Terms and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will prevail.

All trademarks are the exclusive property of their respective owners, and you shall have no rights to use or display any such trademarks, including but not limited to trademarks of CTTE NCL, and the musical artists, without the express written permission of the trademark owner.

The information contained on this page and in other pages and material relating to the Cruise, including any information regarding musical artists, performances, celebrity participation and programmed events, is subject to change at any time, in the good faith discretion of CTTE. The Released Parties are not responsible for any errors, changes and/or omissions resulting in pricing, inventory, or content discrepancies.

Passenger acknowledges and confirms that any travel agent utilized by Passenger in connection with the issuance of this ticket is, for all purposes, Passenger’s agent and the Released Parties shall not be liable for any representation made by said travel agent. Passenger shall at all times remain liable to CTTE for the price of the reservation.

In addition to the restrictions and exemptions from liability provided in these Terms and Conditions, the Released Parties shall have the full benefit of any applicable laws providing for limitation and exoneration from liability, and nothing contained herein is intended to operate to limit or deprive the Released Parties of any such statutory limitation of or exoneration from liability. Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Parties claim benefit of all restrictions, exemptions and limitations of the “Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and Their Luggage by Sea” of 1974 as well as the Protocol to the “Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and Their Luggage by Sea” of 1976 (“Athens Convention”), which limits the liability of the Released Parties for the death of or personal injury to a passenger to no more than the applicable amount of Special Drawing Rights as defined therein, and all other limits on damage or loss to personal property.

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 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.

**The above Terms & Conditions are subject to change at any time in CTTE’s reasonable judgment, upon notice to Passengers**

The Terms and Conditions found in both NCL’s Refusal to Transport Policy and the NCL Cruise Ticket Contract found at the links below, are incorporated into the Cruise to the Edge Terms and Conditions and made a part hereof:

However, in the event of any conflict between the terms of these CTTE Terms & Conditions and any provisions of the NCL Terms and Conditions, including but not limited to terms regarding refunds, these CTTE Terms & Conditions will govern.
