Unfortunately, we cannot be involved in any cabin matching, however, there is a designated Facebook Page designed to help passengers connect with others in the same situation.

Please be advised that these pages have been set up by On the Blue Cruise fans and not by On the Blue Cruise or On the Blue Cruise, Inc. Therefore, choosing to room with someone you do not know is at your own discretion and neither On the Blue Cruise, On the Blue Cruises, Inc. nor Norwegian Cruise Line (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.

Having proper documents is your responsibility and should you be denied boarding or entry for any reason, there will be no refunds. Be sure you are prepared.

All Non-U.S. Citizens are required to travel with a Passport, as well as any other Visas or travel documents required by your departing and/or returning country.

Although a passport is not necessary at this time for U.S. Citizens, proof of citizenship is required for everyone sailing aboard On the Blue Cruise. We STRONGLY recommend all guests travel with a valid passport, or a Passport Card. If you do not plan to travel with a passport, PLEASE CLICK HERE for a complete explanation of the travel documentation required.

Please understand that this is a U.S. Customs requirement and is not in the hands of those at NCL or OTB. Passengers without the proper documentation will not be permitted on board and no refunds will be issued in these circumstances. NO EXCEPTIONS.

*These requirements could be changed at any time by the U.S. Government and CBP and all guests would need to comply.

In an effort to reduce costs even further for our On the Blue alumni, we will offer a Paid in Full Discount to any guest who has sailed on ANY of our OTB cruises in the past and books before the alumni booking period has ended. When booking your cabin, you may select the Paid in Full option during the booking process. Pay your cabin in full and receive a 3% discount off your base cabin fare (not including taxes, fees and/or pre-paid gratuities). Please note that full payment must be received within 72 business hours of booking your cruise.

*The Fine Print -Discount is applicable to base cruise rates only and is not offered on the fuel supplement fee nor on the mandatory fee supplement of $315 per person for merchant fees, government taxes and fees. The entire cabin must be paid in full to receive this discount. The Paid in Full Discount is only valid during the alumni booking period. Once this time has ended, this discount will no longer be valid, and will not be reinstated for any booking. Any cabin that chooses the Paid in Full option but does not pay in full within 72 hours of the booking, will no longer be eligible for the discount. No exceptions.

Rates as described on the PRICING page of On the Blue Cruise website, are per person based on double occupancy or as per the number of guests booked in the cabin. All deposits are based on a minimum of two (2) guests per cabin. Click Here for the full payment schedule

ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE UNDER FULL PENALTY – PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL INVESTMENT!

Due to the nature of this event, all deposits and payments for ON THE BLUE CRUISE are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. Therefore, we highly recommend TRAVEL INSURANCE.

Travel Insurance is NOT included in your reservation. The purchase of insurance is the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through On the Blue Cruises, Inc. and/or On the Blue Cruise Reservations Team. It is up to each guest to research and decide on a 3rd party vendor of his or her choice for insurance if they choose to do so. On the Blue Cruises, Inc. and/or On the Blue Cruise Reservations Team are not responsible for any losses, medical expenses accrued during travel and/or any and all deposits, due to lack of travel insurance. Not all travel insurance is the same, and you should carefully investigate to determine what situations are covered, and how they are covered, in each policy you may be offered.

ALL passengers are required to be on board NO LATER than 3:00 pm as we will sail at 4:00 pm.

NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for passengers that arrive after 3:00 pm.

For those of you that love crowds, enjoy standing in the hot Florida sun and humidity, prefer to be annoyed by the person behind you that continues to fling his sweat onto you and step on the back of your sandal, arrive at PortMiami early on January 28th, so you are nice and annoyed by the time you are actually scheduled to check-in.

For those that would prefer to get to the pier, check in relatively quickly in an air-conditioned building, and then quickly proceed onto the ship for a cocktail, please arrive at your designated check-in time you will receive during your check-in process.

ALL passengers are required to be on board NO LATER than 3:00 pm as we will sail at 4:00 pm.

NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for passengers that arrive after 3:00 pm.

The ship returns to Miami on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at 7:00 am. Disembarkation will continue until all passengers have cleared customs and debarked.

However, if you are departing on the same day your cruise arrives, we suggest that you schedule your departure flights as follows:

Miami (MIA): Depart no earlier than 12:00 pm.
Ft. Lauderdale (FLL): Depart no earlier than 1:00 pm.

You will need to print and bring your E-Docs (an electronic version of your boarding pass). These will be available online around 21 days before sailing as well as Proof of Citizenship, usually a passport as it is easiest and then best means for traveling international on a cruise.

CLICK HERE for a complete list of the other types of travel documentation that is and is NOT acceptable for cruise travel.

Please keep in mind that the first AND last name on your cruise E-Docs and your Passport or Government Issued Photo Identification MUST be an identical match. Therefore, for those not traveling with a PASSPORT, in the event of a marriage, divorce, etc. additional documents may be needed (ie: marriage certificate).

January temperatures in the Caribbean range from an average low of 70-degrees to an average high of 81-degrees. It is suggested that you pack lightweight, “resort casual” clothing — a few swimsuits, flip-flops, sandals or deck shoes for around the pool area, sneakers, walking shoes or hiking boots for shore trips, etc. If you like to exercise or participate in sports, bring any fitness clothing and footwear you may need.

Some of the shows and activities will be taking place outdoors, and there is always the chance of it being windy, cool, or even a little wet. Therefore, we suggest also packing some warmer clothing and light rain gear just to be on the safe side. Also be sure to bring your cameras, batteries and chargers, and enough film or memory cards to capture the entire event. And don’t forget ear plugs for the young ones (or yourself), sunscreen and lip balm.

For most evenings, resort casual is appropriate. However, t-shirts, shorts, and/or bare feet are not permitted in the formal dining rooms after 6:00 pm. Should we have a formal night, cocktail dresses for women and suits or jacket and ties for men are typically appropriate. We’ll let you know more about all the theme days/nights as we get closer to sailing.

We recommend that you hand-carry all your travel documents (passports, birth certificates, airline tickets, etc.) medications, jewelry, and any personal items that you may need in a separate carry-on bag. You should not put these items into checked luggage as they could become lost and prevent you from boarding the ship. Also, your luggage may take a few hours before it is delivered to your cabin.

On the last evening of your cruise your luggage will be collected for disembarkation the following morning. You may want to pack a separate overnight bag to accommodate your last evenings’ clothes and toiletries to carry off the ship with you.

No illegal substances, no alcohol or non-alcoholic beverages, food, weapons, or pets. The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited onboard On the Blue Cruise and Norwegian Cruise Line. All US and International laws pertaining to drug use should be respected and will be strictly enforced. Please refer to our Shipboard Etiquette Policy.

Each guest is permitted to carry a reasonable amount of personal property (including luggage) aboard the vessel; however, for your comfort and convenience, it is recommended that you limit the number of pieces you take. Keep in mind that airlines may charge for excess or oversize luggage. Charges incurred for excess or oversize baggage are the sole responsibility of the passenger. Each airline has a different limit on the amount of luggage they allow. Check with your air carrier for specific restrictions, such as allowance of weight and any additional charges.

Bring an overnight bag for your last night at sea. Staff will collect your bags the night before you leave the ship, and you will need an overnight bag to carry your night clothes and toiletries.

Per NCL’s policies, guests are prohibited from bringing any beverages* — including liquor, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks such as water, soda, and juices — on board either as carry-on or checked luggage, except for purified or distilled water in factory-sealed containers for use in conjunction with medical devices or for the reconstitution of infant formula.
