Pricing

Attire
Norwegian Cruise Line is known for its relaxed "Freestyle Cruising" concept, so there is no specific dress code for onboard shopping venues. Guests are free to wear comfortable, casual clothing like shorts, t-shirts, and jeans throughout the day and into the evening. While some may choose to dress up on "Dress-Up or Not" nights, it is not required. The only consistent rule is that swimwear and tank tops for men are not permitted in indoor public spaces, including the shops.
