Check In
Along with your eDocs, you'll need to bring your passport and/or required travel documentation. Every guest needs to have proper identification to board the ship.
Review what identification documents are accepted here.
Complete online check-in beginning 21 days prior to sailing, but no later than March 28th, 2024 using the Reservation Number in the email titled "Your Reservation Number Is Here!". Before you begin your online check-in process, here is a helpful overview.
Is it 2 weeks prior to sailing and you still haven't received your reservation number? Contact us and we can help.
During check-in, you'll be prompted to select a time to arrive at the terminal. This is NOT your boarding time. Boarding will begin after 11:30am.
All purchases on the ship are made with your Norwegian keycard. As you complete online check-in, you will be asked to provide a method of payment for all your onboard purchases. All purchases you make on the ship will be tied to this method of payment. We recommend doing this during your online check-in!
If you prefer to wait, you may put down a method of payment or open a cash account once on board.
Read up on all the details here.
Once checked in, you may book a shore excursion for our Port Day in Great Stirrup Cay, make dinner reservations for a specialty restaurant, or reserve the Thermal Spa to relax and rejuvenate between all of the amazing music!
Use our event schedule to help plan a time that works best for you!
Once everyone in your cabin has completed online check-in with Norwegian, you can print out your eDocs. (You will not be able to print until all guests in the cabin are checked in.) If your party is traveling and arriving to the terminal together, you only need to print and bring one copy of your eDocs.
This option is available on Norwegian's website up to 72 hours prior to sailing.

Sixthman enforces a strict policy against the use or possession of contraband, paraphernalia, illegal controlled substances, narcotics, including marijuana, THC products including gummies and candies, and any type of weapons or firearms. This policy applies at all times and in all locations, including the port, the ship, the private island, and throughout the duration of your sailing. Please be aware that even items considered legal under state jurisdiction may not be allowed.
It’s important to keep in mind that you will be traveling internationally and are subject to Federal laws. During your journey, you will encounter multiple contraband-detecting K9 units and other law enforcement resources. These K9s may be present in the port, on the gangways of the ship during embarkation and disembarkation, and on the private island. Similar to airports, cruise ports are considered locations where your expectation of privacy is limited, and you may be subject to random searches for any reason.
Any individual found in possession of un-prescribed narcotics or prescribed medical marijuana not recognized by local or federal authorities is at risk of arrest and will be removed from the passenger manifest, permanently prohibiting them from sailing with Sixthman. Please note that no refunds will be issued in such cases.
If you have federally legal prescription medications with you, they must be stored in their original prescription containers, with the name on the prescription matching the name of the person in possession of the container. Additionally, you should carry ONLY the amount of medication required for the duration of your stay with us.
Upon return, you will be required to pass through immigration and law enforcement including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will be there to greet you along with narcotic detection K9’s. They can and will search you and your belongings. The importation or return of certain substances can be a local, state, and federal crime.
Anyone who is caught violating the ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY or who disturbs the peace and safety of the ship will be detained or arrested and discharged at the next stop without a refund.
Photos and short video clips are allowed. However, please respect your fellow guests and be unobtrusive when taking photos or video clips.
The following are not permitted at any performances or activities:
- Detachable lenses longer than 3”
- Filming an entire performance
- Flash photography
- GoPro or similar style action cameras
- iPad or other tablets
- Professional audio or video equipment

Sixthman reserves the right to ask guests to stop filming or taking photos at any time to preserve the guest experience and honor the wishes of our artists.
We were founded upon the spirit of creating safe environments for people to come together on vacation with the goal that ALL feel Invited, Welcomed, Looked After, Appreciated, and most importantly, Respected. We will not tolerate any harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, body size, appearance, age or national origin. We stand against racism, hate and associated symbols and the display of such items, including but not limited to the confederate battle flag. If you feel like you’re being harassed or discriminated against, are the victim of nonconsensual touching, or otherwise feel unsafe, please report it to the nearest Sixthman or Norwegian Cruise Line staff member.
Our number one priority is to ensure the safety and security of our guests, artists and ship crew. For this to be achieved, it is imperative all guests have an understanding of the behavioral standards to uphold while on board. The information contained within Norwegian Cruise Line’s Guest Conduct Policy serves to notify all guests of the expected conduct on this Sixthman festival at sea. Please become familiar with this information and then get ready for a vacation that aims to create memories that will last a lifetime!

Packing
To check in at the Port of Miami and board the ship, you must have proper documentation. Do not place these items in your checked bag. Take it with you into the cruise terminal as you'll need to present it at the check in counter. You will not be allowed to board the ship without proper documentation.
If you printed out your eDocs, have them handy when you arrive at the port. It will help speed up the check in process!
If you were unable to print your eDocs prior to embarkation day, please proceed to the port with proper documentation. You will still be able to board the ship even if you don't have your eDocs.
Check out our helpful packing list here to make sure you're all set!

Tips for the Terminal
When completing your online check in, you'll be prompted to pick a terminal arrival time. Please note: this is NOT your boarding time. After checking in at the terminal you'll find a seat and wait until boarding begins, generally after 11:30AM ET.
The terminal does NOT have vending machines or any other place to purchase food or beverages. Please plan to grab breakfast before arriving, as boarding will not begin until after 11:30AM ET.
Lighten your load! Check your bags with a porter before you enter the cruise terminal for easy boarding.
Bags will be delivered to your room by 8:00pm ET so be sure to keep anything you might need in your carry-on bag (passport, medicine, etc.).
*Please note that curbside porters are not employees of Norwegian and it’s customary to tip them $1 per bag.
You can keep your shoes on but belts and laptops will need to go into a bin for screening. Also, wine and champagne need be taken out. Just like at the airport, throw away open drink containers and empty your pockets.
For your theme night attire, please keep in mind that anything that may look like a weapon may be seized by security agents so it's better to leave those items safely at home.
If you brought wine or champagne, stop at the table immediately after security to pay the corkage fee
The following corkage fees apply, per bottle, for any wine or champagne brought on board.
750 ml Bottle: $15.00 USD
1,000 ml Bottle: $20.00 USD

To speed up the process of checking your wine or champagne at the port, print out this form and bring it with you. Please note, the corkage fee also applies to twist-off bottles.
I'm on board, now what?
The ship's crew will make an announcement over the loudspeaker when all cabins are ready, likely around 2:00pm!
Remember, should you choose to check your bags outside the cruise terminal, know that they may be delivered as late as 8:00pm, so keep items you’ll need until then in a carry-on.
