Natalie “Taesia Steele” Eleanor / TravelOnly is responsible for the travel and cruise reservation portion of your experience and is not responsible for determining participation, pricing, eligibility or inclusion in HODB's Docu-Film or media programming.
No.
Booking a cabin does not automatically include Docu-Film participation, professional interviews or other HODB media opportunities.
These are separate VIP upgrades and experiences offered through HODB. Please contact HODB directly for information regarding availability, eligibility, pricing and participation.
Yes. Guests may reserve their cruise accommodations without purchasing a Docu-Film or media upgrade.
The cruise reservation and HODB's optional VIP/media experiences are separate components of the weekend.
Several payment options may be available depending on the reservation and eligibility, including:
Your TravelOnly advisor can explain the options available for your specific reservation.
Yes. If you require airfare to and from Miami, please ask Natalie “Taesia Steele” Eleanor of TravelOnly about available flight options.
Airfare is separate from the advertised cruise-only fare unless your individual booking specifically states otherwise.
Please ask about available airport, hotel and cruise-port transportation options when arranging your trip.
Transportation to and from the cruise terminal is not automatically included in the advertised cruise-only fare unless specifically stated in your reservation.
We strongly recommend arriving in the Miami area at least one day before the cruise.
The HODB VIP Weekend at Sea departs on March 5, 2027, so guests flying into South Florida should plan to arrive no later than March 4, 2027 whenever possible.
Flying in early provides additional protection against weather, airline delays, cancellations and missed connections that could cause you to miss embarkation.
Yes. Please ask about pre-cruise hotel accommodations when making your travel arrangements.
A pre-cruise hotel is highly recommended for guests flying into South Florida.
It is ultimately each traveler's responsibility to arrive in time for embarkation.
This is one of the reasons we strongly recommend arriving at least one day before departure rather than flying into Miami on the morning of the cruise.
Travel insurance is also strongly recommended to help protect against certain unexpected travel disruptions, subject to the terms and coverage of the policy purchased.
Travel-document requirements depend on your citizenship and individual circumstances.
For U.S. citizens on qualifying closed-loop cruises departing from and returning to the same U.S. port, alternative citizenship and government-issued identification may be accepted in certain circumstances. Norwegian Cruise Line nevertheless strongly recommends that U.S. citizens travel with a valid passport for Bahamas cruises.
Canadian citizens and guests of other nationalities should verify the documentation requirements applicable to their citizenship before travel.
A valid passport is strongly recommended for all travelers.
Travelers are responsible for ensuring they possess all passports, visas, identification and other documentation required for their individual circumstances.
Having a passport can become extremely important if an unexpected situation requires you to travel internationally by air.
For example, if you miss the ship in a foreign port or need to return home unexpectedly, air-travel documentation requirements may be different from those applicable to the cruise itself.
For that reason, traveling with a valid passport is strongly recommended.
Guests will have an opportunity to enjoy Nassau, Bahamas.
You may explore independently or participate in available shore excursions. Guests are responsible for keeping track of ship time and returning to the ship by Norwegian Cruise Line's designated all-aboard time.
Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian Cruise Line's private island in the Bahamas.
Guests can enjoy the beach, water, island activities and available excursions before returning to the ship according to Norwegian Cruise Line's schedule.
DO NOT BE LATE.
Guests are responsible for knowing and following the ship's designated all-aboard time at every port.
The ship operates on a schedule and will not necessarily wait for guests who are late returning from independent activities. Missing the ship can result in substantial additional travel expenses and complications.
Always pay attention to the time announced onboard and give yourself plenty of time to return.
Unless specifically included in your individual reservation or promotion, shore excursions are additional purchases.
Guests interested in excursions in Nassau or activities at Great Stirrup Cay can inquire about available options.
A lot!
