Question
If I’m not cruising, how do I get on the ship for the wedding?
Answer
You’ll need a visitor pass. To obtain a visitor pass you’ll need to let us know which ID you’ll use to board the ship (driver’s license, passport, or birth certificate) along with the document number so we can submit it to our wedding coordinator. Be sure to bring that same ID on the wedding day, or boarding may be denied.

Please contact our coordinator, Stephanie Nitti, at 877-416-9722 ext. 44173 to make a $100 deposit to secure your room for the cruise. Final payment is due by 07/20/2026.
Question
Will I need a passport for the cruise?
Answer
Yes! If you are sailing with us we recommend bringing your passport!
Question

Answer
For those without a passport, please ensure you have your passport no later than 05/01/2026 (must be valid at least 6 months prior to sailing). For those with a passport, please ensure it does not expire prior to 06/01/2027 (must not expire for 6 months after sailing).
Question
Are kids welcome to attend the wedding?
Answer
We absolutely adore your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you understand, and we’d love to celebrate with you!
Question
Are kids able to attend the cruise, even though the wedding is adults-only?
Answer
Yes. If you have a friend or family member who can watch your child during the wedding and would like to join the cruise, they’re welcome to book their cruise through Norwegian Cruise Line and board at the standard time given. They can care for your child during the wedding, and afterward, you’ll be able to reunite and enjoy the rest of the cruise together.
Question
Can I bring someone to the wedding who isn’t listed on my invitation?
Answer
We wish we could accommodate everyone, but unfortunately we can’t. Due to ship capacity, only the names on the invitations are on our guest list. Security will check IDs at boarding, and anyone not listed (including kids) won’t be allowed to board.
