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.
How to reserve
No reservations are required for Tradewinds, as it’s open to all guests during operating hours on Deck 7. Check the Freestyle Daily for special promotions or shopping seminars.
How to purchase
No purchase is necessary to browse Tradewinds, but items like jewelry or duty-free spirits cost $20-$5000, charged to the onboard account. Duty-free alcohol or tobacco purchases require guests to be 21+.
Age restrictions
