Disembarkation information will be provided onboard by Norwegian Cruise Line.
Please do not schedule departing flights too early on December 6. Recommended flight times will be provided closer to sailing.
Cruise itineraries, ports and arrival/departure times are determined by Norwegian Cruise Line and are subject to change.
All guests participating in the 2027 Bahamas Takeover are required to arrive in the cruise departure city no later than Thursday, December 2, 2027 — ONE DAY BEFORE the cruise.
We are implementing this requirement to help protect your vacation from unexpected airline delays, cancellations, missed connections and other travel disruptions.
Please DO NOT schedule a flight that arrives on Friday, December 3.
Cruise ships operate on strict departure schedules. If your flight is delayed or canceled and you miss embarkation, the ship will not wait for you.
Any expenses associated with missing the cruise, including alternate transportation, hotels, airfare or transportation required to meet the ship at another port, will be the traveler's responsibility.
Information regarding our recommended pre-cruise hotel will be provided at a later date.
Guests should budget for at least one night of hotel accommodations on December 2, 2027, in addition to transportation to the cruise terminal.
It is each traveler's responsibility to ensure they have the proper identification and travel documentation required for this cruise.
We strongly recommend that every traveler obtain and travel with a valid U.S. passport, even when a passport may not be strictly required for an eligible closed-loop cruise.
Traveling With a Passport
U.S. citizens may travel with a valid U.S. passport that is valid 6 months after cruise disembarkation.
This is the strongly recommended option for all Bahamas Takeover guests.
Don't Have a Passport?
For qualifying U.S. citizens traveling on an eligible closed-loop cruise that begins and ends at the same U.S. port, Norwegian Cruise Line currently permits certain alternative documentation.
Guests traveling without a passport must carry acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship PLUS a valid government-issued photo ID.
Acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship may include:
State-certified U.S. birth certificate
Original Certificate of U.S. Naturalization
Original Certificate of U.S. Citizenship
U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad
Certain travelers may also qualify to travel using a valid U.S. Passport Card or Enhanced Driver's License.
A standard driver's license by itself is NOT proof of U.S. citizenship.
Hospital-issued birth certificates and baptismal certificates are not accepted as proof of citizenship. Norwegian also currently states that photocopies or pictures of the required citizenship documents will not be accepted.
Guests under age 16 have different government-issued photo identification requirements.
✈️ IMPORTANT: REAL ID & AIR TRAVEL
If you are flying domestically to the cruise departure city, travelers age 18 and older must present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license/state-issued ID OR another form of identification accepted by TSA, such as a valid U.S. passport.
REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses and state IDs are generally identified by a star near the top of the card.
If your driver's license or state-issued ID is NOT REAL ID-compliant, you will need another TSA-accepted form of identification to fly.
Because all Bahamas Takeover guests are required to arrive in the cruise departure city on December 2, 2027, please verify that you have appropriate identification for both your flight and your cruise well in advance of travel.
⚠️ Why We Strongly Recommend a Passport
Even when alternative documents are permitted for an eligible closed-loop cruise, traveling internationally without a passport can create significant complications during an emergency.
For example, if you miss the ship and need to fly internationally to meet it, or if an emergency requires you to leave the ship at a foreign port and fly back to the United States, a passport may be required for international air travel.
For this reason, we strongly encourage every 2027 Bahamas Takeover traveler to obtain a valid U.S. passport.
Travel-document requirements are subject to change. Each traveler is responsible for verifying the requirements applicable to their citizenship, age and itinerary before travel.
Because you KNOW we need a group picture! 📸🌴
Official 2027 Bahamas Takeover T-shirts will be available for purchase for travelers joining our group.
T-shirt ordering information will be released closer to sailing and will include:
T-shirts are not included in your cruise fare unless otherwise announced.
Please order by the stated deadline once ordering opens. Late orders may not be available.
More information coming soon!
We’ve created a convenient quarterly payment schedule to make paying for your 2027 Bahamas Takeover vacation as manageable as possible!
A $250 deposit per cabin is required to secure your reservation.
For double-occupancy cabins, this equals $125 per person when the deposit is split evenly between two guests.
For solo cabins, the required deposit is $250.
After your initial deposit, payments equal to 20% of your total cabin cost will be due on the following dates:
December 15, 2026 — 20% Payment
March 15, 2027 — 20% Payment
June 15, 2027 — 20% Payment
September 6, 2027 — FINAL PAYMENT
Your September 6 payment will consist of the remaining balance due on your reservation rather than a fixed 20% installment.
You are always welcome to make additional payments toward your reservation at any time before the applicable due dates.
If you book during a month in which a quarterly payment is scheduled, both the initial $250 cabin deposit AND that month's scheduled payment will be required at the time of booking.
For example, a reservation made in March 2027 will require the $250 cabin deposit plus the March 15 scheduled payment.
If you book after one or more scheduled payment dates have already passed, your required initial payment may be adjusted to ensure your reservation remains on track for final payment.
Payment requirements apply to the cabin as a whole. Travelers sharing a cabin may divide payments between themselves; however, the full required cabin payment must be received by each scheduled deadline.
Each traveler is responsible for communicating with their roommate and ensuring their portion is submitted on time.
ALL REMAINING BALANCES ARE DUE NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 6, 2027.
Reservations with an outstanding balance after the final payment deadline may be subject to cancellation and applicable penalties.
We strongly encourage travelers to make additional payments throughout the year if they prefer smaller payment amounts rather than waiting until each quarterly deadline.
Travel protection is strongly recommended.
Unexpected circumstances can happen before or during travel, including illness, injury, flight cancellations/delays, lost luggage and other emergencies.
Information regarding available travel protection options will be provided during the booking process.
IMPORTANT: Cruise cancellations are subject to Norwegian Cruise Line's applicable cancellation policy and the terms associated with our group reservation.
Cancellation penalties generally increase as the sailing date approaches and may eventually reach 100% of the cruise fare.
Once cancellation penalties begin, some or all amounts paid may become non-refundable.
Failure to make required payments does not necessarily constitute an official cancellation.
All cancellation requests must be submitted according to the cancellation instructions provided with your reservation.
Our exact group cancellation schedule will be provided here once finalized with Norwegian Cruise Line.
We strongly recommend purchasing travel protection to help protect your financial investment against certain covered circumstances.
