The terms herein shall be binding upon payment of the cruise fare by the Guest and Guest accepts and agrees to the terms upon boarding even if no payment of the cruise fare has been made.

(a) Recommended Consultation with Personal Physician.   Guests are encouraged to discuss the advisability of travel with their personal physicians and to review the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) website for updated information.

Guest expressly agrees to comply not only with the COVID-19 Policies and Procedures
as   they   are   described   herein,   but   also   as   they   are   set   forth   on   Carrier’s   website   at

shore excursions and/or final disembarkation.

(d) Mandatory Compliance with COVID-19 Policies and Procedures. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in Carrier’s refund policy, any noncompliance by Guest or members of Guest’s travelling party with Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures, local port/country regulations, or this Contract shall be grounds for refusal to board, refusal to re-board after going ashore, quarantine onboard the Vessel, disembarkation, reporting to governmental or health authorities, or other steps deemed necessary in Carrier’s sole discretion under the circumstances to protect the health and well- being of others.  Under these circumstances, Guest shall not be entitled to a refund or compensation of any kind. Guest will be responsible for all related costs and fines, including without limitation travel expenses and for proper travel documentation for any port, or for departure from or arrival to the U.S. Under no circumstances shall Carrier be liable for any damages or expenses whatsoever incurred by any Guest as a result of such denial of boarding, refusal to re-board, quarantine, disembarkation, or other steps taken by Carrier.

Guest agrees that if at any time within 14 days prior to embarkation, Guest tests positive for COVID-19, exhibits signs or symptoms of COVID-19, has had close contact with a person confirmed or suspected as having COVID-19, or Carrier otherwise determines in its sole discretion that Guest is unfit to board because of any communicable illness, Carrier will deny boarding to such Guest.  Under no circumstances shall Carrier have any other liability for any compensation or other damages whatsoever, including but not limited to compensation for lodging or travel.
(f) Guest Testing Positive for COVID-19 During Cruise. Guest understands and agrees that if, after boarding, and even if Guest has fully complied with all COVID-19 Policies and Procedures, Guest tests positive for COVID-19 or exhibits signs or symptoms of COVID-19, Carrier may disembark, refuse re- boarding after a shore excursion, or quarantine Guest as well as members of Guest’s travelling party, or take other steps which Carrier determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary under the circumstances to protect the health and well-being of others. Each such Guest is responsible for all other related costs and fines, including without limitation travel expense. Under no circumstances shall Carrier be liable to any such Guest for any costs, damages or expenses whatsoever incurred by any Passenger.
5. Carrier's Rules and Regulations:
(a) Guest's Agreement: The Guest agrees to abide by the rules of the Carrier, including, but not limited to, the rules and regulations particularly set forth herein and in particular Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and

Procedures set forth in Section 4 and on Carrier’s website at  https://www.ncl.com/safe and to follow the lawful instructions of the vessel's officers and crew, at all times. The Guest accepts that failure to do so constitutes a material breach of this Contract which may subject the Guest, as well as any accompanying Guest(s), to involuntary disembarkation without liability whatsoever to the Carrier for any refund or any other related loss or expense to the Guest, and any accompanying Guest(s).
(b) Carrier's Right to Confine, or Refuse or Revoke Passage: The Guest recognizes and agrees that the Carrier reserves the right, without incurring liability of any kind, to refuse or revoke passage to, or confine to a stateroom, or refuse to reboard after going ashore any Guest who, in the sole judgment of the Carrier or vessel's medical personnel, may be refused admission into a port of landing or into the country of destination, or may be suffering from a contagious disease, or fails to abide by Carrier’s COVID-19 Polices and Procedures as described in Section 4 above or on Carriers website at https://www.ncl.com/safe or for any other cause may endanger themselves or others, or become obnoxious to others. Carrier further reserves the right to refuse to transport a Guest and/or remove a Guest from any property, facility and/or vessel operated by Carrier if the Guest refuses to comply with any law, government order or regulation, possesses illegal drugs, possesses weapons of any kind, exhibits inappropriate behavior in the sole discretion of Carrier, appears on any sex offender list, fails to comply with Carrier’s Guest Ticket Contract, and/or fails to abide by any of Carrier’s policies, including but not limited to the Ship’s rules and/or Carrier’s Code of Conduct.  Any Guest who is refused passage or otherwise denied any advertised benefit or service under this paragraph shall not be entitled to receive any compensation whatsoever, except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, and shall become liable for any resulting expenses incurred by the Carrier. Guest acknowledges that it is Carrier’s policy that all Guests must be at the designated point of pre-embarkation procedures at the designated time noted on their cruise documents for the port of embarkation as well as two (2) hours before departure at all ports of call and agrees that it is the Guest’s responsibility not to miss such final deadline. Any Guest who fails to arrive at the designated pre-embarkation point at the time set forth in their cruise documents is at risk of being left at the port of embarkation or port of call. In such event, Carrier shall have the right without notice to depart without the Guest and Guest shall be fully responsible to pay for or indemnify the Carrier from all expenses incurred to rejoin the vessel at the next port or for his/her own return passage, including, but not limited to, government fees or fines, visa fees, subsistence, lodging, air fare, launch fare, car hire or agency fees. In such event, Guest shall not be entitled to a refund and shall be deemed to have breached this ticket contract. Further, in such event, the entire fare shall be deemed fully earned by Carrier and no portion thereof shall be recoverable by Guest.
(c) Guests under 21: Any Guest under 21 years of age is considered a minor. Any Guest under the age of 21 must be accompanied in the same, connecting, or side by side stateroom by a Guest 21 years of age or older at the time of embarkation who expressly agrees to be responsible for the under-21 Guest throughout the cruise. The Guest agrees that this responsibility includes, but is not limited to, preventing the under-21 Guest from violating the vessel's rules, including abiding by Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures, preventing the under-21 Guest from purchasing and/or consuming alcohol and/or gambling on board the vessel, except as set forth herein. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol.   With the exception of Alaska, Hawaii and New England itineraries, Carrier permits Guests, between the ages of 18 through 20, to purchase and personally consume wine and beer only while onboard and with the consent of an accompanying parent.  Authorization will be given only when the accompanying parent completes the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form.  This form can be obtained and completed at the Guest Services Desk upon embarkation of the vessel.  However, Guests
18 years of age or older are permitted to consume alcoholic beverages when sailing on roundtrip European voyages without having to complete the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form.  Guests must be 18 years of age to engage in gambling on the vessel.
(d) Minors: If the Guest is an adult accompanying a minor or minors under the age of 18, and the adult Guest is not a spouse, parent, or legal guardian of the minor(s), the adult Guest must present an original Parent/Guardian Consent & Release Form, signed by both parents/legal guardians of the minor which authorizes the minor's travel, and further authorizes medical treatment in case of emergency, to a representative of the Carrier at the pier. If the adult Guest is the spouse of a minor, the adult Guest must present a certified copy of a valid marriage certificate to a representative of the Carrier at the pier. Failure to present any of the aforementioned documentation may result in boarding being denied with no refund provided. When accompanying a minor or minors on the vessel, the adult Guest agrees to be the agent of such minor(s) for all purposes, to accept and maintain full responsibility for supervising and ensuring the

safety and health of such minor(s) and to bear full responsibility for the actions of such minor(s).  Guest further ensures such minor(s) abide by the provisions of the guest ticket contract, all shipboard rules and regulations including Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures, and all applicable laws. The adult Guest further agrees that the Carrier is not liable for injury to minor(s) in the adult Guest's charge arising from the willful or negligent acts or omissions of other Guests or persons who are otherwise not acting on behalf of the Carrier. The adult Guest also agrees that under no circumstances will a minor be left aboard the vessel, other than in the care of the vessel's Kids' Crew or Teen's Crew programs, while the adult Guest responsible for the minor leaves the vessel for any reason, and in such circumstance the adult Guest agrees to indemnify and hold Carrier harmless for any and all loss, injury, or death of the minor or any other person involving the minor whatsoever.   Adult guest must accompany all minors on any independently operated shore excursion purchased through Carrier.
(e) Forbidden Articles: The Guest agrees not to bring on board the vessel, under any circumstances, any firearms or weapons of any kind, ammunition, explosives, or other substances of a dangerous nature, nor animals of any kind, except service or guide animals, provided that the Guest notifies the Carrier, prior to the cruise, of the Guest's intention to bring such animal and agrees to accept full responsibility for any expense, damage, losses, or injuries associated with or caused by such animal. The Guest further understands and agrees that any alcoholic beverages purchased ashore shall not be brought or consumed aboard the vessel under any circumstances, but shall be delivered to the vessel's crew at the gangway to be retained by the Carrier until the Guest disembarks at the end of the voyage. The Guest assumes all responsibility for complying with any applicable customs or import laws relating to any such purchase.
(f) No Soliciting: The Guest shall not solicit other Guests, the Carrier's employees, personnel or agents during the voyage with respect to any professional, commercial, or business activity, whether for profit or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Carrier.
(g) Special Medical Care; Fitness to Travel: The Guest acknowledges that medical care while on a cruise ship may be limited or delayed and that the ship may travel to destinations where medical care is unavailable. Guest further understands that there may be circumstances beyond Carrier’s control which may prevent or delay a medical evacuation or disembarkation. In addition to the specific representations required of Guest regarding COVID-19, Guest warrants that the Guest, and those for whom the Guest is responsible, are fit to travel at the time of embarkation. Any condition of the Guest that may require special attention or treatment of any kind should be reported to the Carrier by the Guest when a reservation is requested. The Guest agrees not to present herself for boarding under any circumstances if, by the time the Guest will conclude her travel with the Carrier, she will have entered the 24th week of pregnancy. The Guest further understands and agrees that infants sailing onboard a vessel must be at least six (6) months of age at time of sailing.  However, for voyages that have three (3) or more consecutive days at sea, the infant must be at least twelve (12) months old at time of sailing. Guests are encouraged to contact their treating physician to discuss their health concerns, including pregnancy and COVID-19, before travelling. Guests with special needs are advised that certain international safety requirements, shipbuilding requirements, and/or applicable regulations may cause difficulty for mobility- impaired persons or persons with severely impaired sight and/or hearing. Guests requiring the use of a wheelchair must provide their own as any wheelchairs available on the vessel are for emergency use only.  For  the  convenience and  comfort  of  such  Guests,  they  are  strongly  encouraged to  bring  a collapsible wheelchair. Guests are advised that standard cabins are not designed to be barrier free and wheelchair accessible.
(h) Liability of the Guest: The Guest shall be liable to and shall reimburse Carrier for all damages or loss of or to the vessel and its furnishings and any equipment or property of the Carrier or any other Guest caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any act or omission of the Guest or those for whom the Guest is responsible, whether willful or negligent, including but not limited to, theft or any other criminal act. In addition, Guest will be responsible for an administration fee of U.S.$500.00 associated with any instance resulting in damage or loss as well as for all monies incurred for repairs.  In the event any items are removed from a stateroom without Carrier’s consent, Guest will be charged the full replacement cost for any such item(s).  Furthermore, smoking in staterooms and/or stateroom balconies is strictly prohibited.  Any Guest who violates Carrier’s smoking policy will be assessed a cleaning fee of U.S.$250.00.  The Guest shall further indemnify the Carrier and each and all of their agents or servants against all liability whatsoever arising from any personal injury, death or damage or loss whatsoever

caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any willful or negligent act or omission on the part of the Guest or those for whom the Guest is responsible.
