I DON’T WANT TO GO BY MYSELF, CAN THE MEGACRUISE TEAM ARRANGE A ROOMMATE FOR ME?

Therefore, choosing to room with someone you do not know is at your own discretion and neither The MEGACRUISE, MEGACRUISE, LLC or NCL will be responsible or liable for any issues related to these matches. Any problems associated with cabin mates (both on board or during the reservation and payment process) will be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other cabin and the main passenger on the reservation will be held responsible.

Although we have set up a 4 payment plan, you can make more frequent payments as long as the required deposits have been paid by the due dates outlined in the Terms and Conditions.
CAN I GO ON THE CRUISE IF I’M PREGNANT?
Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who are up to 23 weeks pregnant at the end of the cruise (October 18, 2019) are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel. Women who will be 24 weeks or more at the time of embarkation for health and safety reasons are NOT allowed to sail. NCL reserves the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse passage if the Carrier and/or the Master are not satisfied that the Passenger will be safe during the passage.
DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?
ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE UNDER FULL PENALTY – PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL INVESTMENT FROM THOSE UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES!
As stated in the Terms and Conditions, due to the nature of this event, all payments and deposits on MEGACRUISE are NON-REFUNDABLE and therefore, we highly recommend travel insurance.
Travel Insurance is NOT included in your MEGACRUISE reservation. The purchase of insurance is the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through MEGACRUISE. It is up to each guest to research and decide on a 3rd party vendor of their choice for insurance. ON THE BLUE CRUISES, INC. and MEGACRUISE are not responsible for any losses, including any and all deposits, due to lack of travel insurance.
ARE THERE ANY AGE LIMITATIONS FOR BOOKING?
Infants must be at least 6 months old at the time of sailing.
Please note: there will be no children’s programs open so parents will be responsible for children at all times.
Guests under the age of 21 must be traveling with a parent or responsible adult 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 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. Please note that a notarized letter to this effect is highly suggested. In addition, the NCL Parent/Guardian Consent & Release Form must be filled out 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 assessed a 100% cancellation penalty. NO exceptions will be made at embarkation.
