What you need to know about Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)

NCL runs a tight ship when it comes to customer service. But we still get complaints, notably during the pandemic when cruise credits began to expire. NCL handles most complaints well, giving priority to repeat customers. But the cruise line only offered a 75 percent refund after a customer couldn’t make a cruise because of a hurricane.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) customer service policies

Privacy policy

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.’s privacy policy (updated January 23, 2026) describes the categories of personal data the company collects from guests, including contact details, government-issued identification, health information, travel preferences, and onboard location data captured through CCTV and key-card systems. The policy explains how the data is used for booking, onboard services, marketing, safety, and legal compliance; with whom it is shared (service providers, partners, government authorities); how it is secured; and the rights guests have to access, correct, or delete their data. Privacy questions can be sent to privacyteam@nclcorp.com. 

Cancellation and refund policy

The cancellation policy published in NCL’s terms sets a sliding cancellation-fee schedule based on how far in advance of sailing the guest cancels, with full forfeiture for cancellations close to departure. A separate Nonperformance Policy applies when NCL cancels a cruise (or delays it by more than three calendar days) departing from a U.S. port: guests who do not accept an alternative or future cruise credit are entitled to a refund of cruise fare and ancillary charges. Refund requests must be submitted through the case-submission form within 90 days of the original embarkation date; NCL has up to 180 days to respond. 

Terms and conditions

NCL’s Terms & Conditions page consolidates the Guest Ticket Contract, Privacy Policy, Cancellation Policy, Nonperformance Policy, Terms of Use for the NCL App and website, accessibility statement, and brand-specific legal notices. The Guest Ticket Contract limits NCL’s liability, sets the forum for disputes (the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida or, where that court lacks jurisdiction, courts in Miami-Dade County), and requires that personal-injury claims be filed within one year. The Terms of Use are governed by Florida law. 

How do I manage my booking (change dining, shore excursions, payments)?

You can manage your Norwegian Cruise Line booking online through the NCL manage booking portal. After signing in with your reservation details, you can update dining reservations, book or modify shore excursions, make payments toward your cruise balance, add packages and onboard experiences, review travel documents, and view your itinerary. The Manage Booking page is the main self-service hub for guests preparing for an upcoming NCL cruise.

How do I complete online check-in and download my boarding documents?

To complete online check-in for your Norwegian Cruise Line vacation, visit the NCL case submission and check-in support page. During the online check-in process, guests can verify personal information, upload travel documents, provide emergency contacts, and access boarding passes and eDocs once check-in is complete. Completing check-in before your sailing date helps speed up embarkation at the cruise terminal.

How do I view or pay my final balance?

You can view your remaining cruise balance and make payments securely through the NCL manage booking portal. After logging into your reservation, you can review payment due dates, check your balance status, and submit payments for your Norwegian Cruise Line cruise vacation online. Guests can also view booking details, add-ons, and confirmation information in the same portal.

How do I cancel my reservation and request a refund?

Norwegian Cruise Line cancellation policies and refund eligibility are explained on the NCL Cancellation Policy page. The policy outlines cancellation deadlines, applicable fees, refund timelines, and terms for different fare types and promotions. Guests who need to cancel a cruise reservation should review the policy carefully to understand whether they qualify for a partial or full refund.

How do I submit a post-cruise question or complaint?

If you need help after your cruise, you can contact Norwegian Cruise Line through the NCL Case Submission page. Guests can use this support form to submit post-cruise questions, service concerns, refund requests, feedback, or complaints related to their onboard experience. Providing your reservation number and detailed information can help NCL respond more efficiently.

How do I file a lost-and-found claim?

To report lost belongings from your cruise vacation, use the Norwegian Cruise Line Lost and Found page. Guests can submit a lost-and-found request for items left onboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship or at the terminal. The form allows you to describe the missing item, provide sailing details, and include contact information for follow-up.

How do I look up my Latitudes Rewards tier and points?

You can view your Latitudes Rewards membership status, cruise history, and loyalty points through the NCL Latitudes Rewards page. Norwegian Cruise Line’s loyalty program offers tier-based benefits, onboard perks, priority access, and exclusive offers for returning guests. Logging into your account lets you track your points balance and current membership tier.

How do I request accessibility accommodations or complete the medical questionnaire?

Norwegian Cruise Line provides accessibility information and accommodation requests through the NCL Accessible Cruising page. Guests can learn about accessible staterooms, mobility assistance, service animal policies, and medical questionnaires required before sailing. The page also explains how to request special accommodations in advance to support a safe and comfortable cruise experience.

How do I check travel requirements and documentation for my cruise?

You can review passport requirements, visa information, health documentation, and cruise travel requirements on the NCL Cruise Travel Documents page. Norwegian Cruise Line updates this page with important information about identification requirements, embarkation policies, and destination-specific travel rules to help guests prepare for their cruise vacation.

Frequently asked questions about Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)

How do I get a refund if NCL cancels my cruise or changes my itinerary?

Under NCL’s Nonperformance Policy, if NCL cancels a cruise departing from a U.S. port or delays it by more than three calendar days, and you decline an alternative cruise or future cruise credit, you are entitled to a refund of cruise fare and ancillary charges. File a refund request through the Case Submission form within 90 days of the original embarkation. NCL has up to 180 days to respond. Port changes during a sailing generally do not qualify for a cruise-fare refund.

My Future Cruise Credit is about to expire — can I get an extension?

Future Cruise Credit (FCC) expiration dates are stated at the time the credit is issued and are not generally extended. To use an FCC, book a new sailing before the expiration date — the booking, not the sailing date, must fall within the validity window. Contact guest care at (866) 234-7350 to confirm the value and expiration on your account. Awaiting confirmation from the company on whether any case-by-case extensions are granted.

Why is my onboard service charge different from what I was originally quoted?

NCL revised its daily service charge in 2024 and again in 2025; the rate applied to your folio is the rate in effect at the time of sailing, not at the time of booking. The current per-person, per-day amount is published on the service charge page and varies by stateroom category. Guests may request adjustments at the Guest Services desk during the cruise; post-cruise disputes go through the Case Submission form.

What does “More at Sea” include, and how is it different from “Free at Sea”?

In 2024 NCL rebranded “Free at Sea” as “More at Sea.” The successor program shifted some perks (drinks, dining, Wi-Fi, shore excursions) from inclusions to bundled add-ons priced into the fare, with reduced inclusion levels in lower stateroom categories. Confirm exactly which inclusions your booking carries by checking the offer terms in your booking confirmation or via Manage My Booking. Awaiting clarification from the company on guest-specific grandfathering rules.

How do I file a complaint after my cruise?

Post-cruise complaints, claims, and feedback go through NCL’s Case Submission form, not through a phone line. Include your reservation number, sailing date, and supporting documentation. If you have not received a substantive response within 30 days, escalate to the executive contacts above or to Elliott.org’s advocacy team.

I lost something on board — how do I get it back?

Submit a lost-and-found claim through the contact page and check the status of your claim through the same form. NCL returns items at the guest’s expense and only holds unclaimed property for a limited time.

How do I cancel a shore excursion if my port is changed?

When NCL changes a port of call, excursions booked through NCL for the affected port are automatically refunded to the original form of payment or to your onboard account. Excursions cancelled by the guest more than 48 hours before the tour depart are refundable; excursions cancelled inside the 48-hour window are non-refundable. Contact the shore-excursions desk on board or call (866) 625-1167 before sailing.
