What are the hours and when should I call?
Norwegian Cruise Line operates the call center for this 866-234-7350 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-12am, Sat-Sun 9am-9pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 299 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Norwegian Cruise Line call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Norwegian Cruise Line phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Norwegian Cruise Line staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Norwegian Cruise Line is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 285% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 299 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

Norwegian Cruise Line's cancellation policy allows passengers to cancel their bookings and receive a refund based on certain conditions. If canceled more than 120 days before the sailing date, guests will receive a full refund. For cancellations made between 119 to 56 days before departure, a penalty will be charged. The penalty amount varies depending on the length of the cruise and the date of cancellation. Cancellations made between 55 to 30 days before departure will incur higher penalties, and cancellations made within 29 days or less will result in full forfeiture of the cruise fare. Guests with non-refundable deposits or specific promotions may have separate cancellation policies. Travel insurance is recommended to protect against unforeseen circumstances. It is advised to review Norwegian Cruise Line's cancellation policy or contact their customer service for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Norwegian Cruise Line welcomes passengers of all ages. However, certain age restrictions apply for specific areas and activities onboard. For example, guests must be at least 21 years old to consume alcoholic beverages or gamble in the ship's casino. Kids under 3 years old can participate in the complimentary youth programs, supervised by qualified staff. Children must be 6 months or older at the time of embarkation to sail on Norwegian cruise ships. NCL strongly encourages children aged 6 months to 12 years to be enrolled in the youth programs. Additionally, for safety reasons, children under 12 years old should be accompanied by an adult when in public areas after 10 pm. Ultimately, Norwegian Cruise Line ensures an inclusive environment for all ages to enjoy their cruise experience.
Yes, a passport is generally required to go on a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise. However, the specific documentation needed depends on your destination and citizenship. For cruises that begin and end at the same U.S. port, U.S. citizens may be allowed to travel with a government-issued photo ID and a birth certificate or a passport card. Nevertheless, Norwegian Cruise Line strongly recommends that all guests, regardless of nationality, carry valid passports for international travel. This is because unforeseen circumstances or changes in travel itineraries may require a passport. Additionally, a passport is essential if you plan to disembark the ship at any foreign port during your cruise. It's advised to check the specific passport requirements for your cruise itinerary and consult the appropriate authorities if you have any doubts.

As a last, sometimes only, resort- Norwegian Cruise Line customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
