RVfromAZ Posted April 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I just filled out the paperwork/ Visa for upcoming NCL Sky to Cuba, however now I think I may have done incorrectly. We plan on taking NCL Excursions so I checked "I will not disembark the vessel while in Cuba to participate in any of the above referenced activities during this sailing. Did I check the correct box? I am confused. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccersharon Posted April 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Since you are disembarking the ship, and booked your excursion through NCL, you should have selected: 515.565(b)Educational exchanges – group people-to-people through Norwegian or other organization Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZiffle Posted April 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Agree. Since NCL uses an electronic submission, I bet you could just fill out a new one, and when submitted, it would supersede the previous one. Worst case, just correct it when you check in at the port.

RVfromAZ Posted April 30, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks, I called NCL and they told me to re-submit! So should be good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetoocruise2015 Posted May 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Sailing on the Sun in August, do I need to call NCL to purchase visa or do I purchase at boarding? I already filled out my affidavit Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare conandrob240 Posted May 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Where is the form for this Visa? We just booked for a Cuba cruise departing in 6 days. Just did the check in and I expected to see it there. I’m getting anxious. We plan to use ( and already booked) Old Car Tours independently.

I have one regarding shore excursions. In that message there is a link for the form. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare conandrob240 Posted May 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Great, thanks I see it! Now, if I’m doing a private excursion do I check “Educational exchanges – group people-to-people through Norwegian or other organization” or “ Support for the Cuban people” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know we go about get and paying for the Visa? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare conandrob240 Posted May 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I assume it was part of the taxes/fees we paid for the cruise. Do you mean physically “getting” it? Sometimes it doesn’t work that way- I don’t know if you actually need anything in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it doesn’t work that way- I don’t know if you actually need anything in hand. I went with RCCL so it might be different, but we got our visa when we checked in and it was charged to our on board account. The affidavit we filled out to say why we were going to Cuba was a completely different form than the Visa itself. The affidavit you could redo/fix; the Visa you could not (unless you wanted to pay for a new one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban immigration will take part of it at some point and the rest of it at another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted June 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 19, 2018 My wife and I are thinking about booking the Sun in September to Cuba. Where do I go to get the forms we need to fill out for our Visa? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On NCL, anyway, it is a separate line item ... 'VISA' $75. I sailed NCL last year to Cuba. CALL and tell Cus. Svc. Rep. you want your visa through NCL and it'll be added. You 'get' the Visa when you check in at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there isn't a separate form for the visa? I see the travel affidavit and we have been charged for the visa but am unsure whether we need to fill out anything else.

NO I see the travel affidavit and we have been charged for the visa but am unsure whether we need to fill out anything else. You will fill out the visa after they hand it to you at check in. Take it back to your cabin, put it in a safe place. At some point before you get to Havana, pull it out, fill in the blanks (name, passport #, etc) and keep it with your passport. Bring it when you disembark in Havana, the customs agent will take it. Pretty simple process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
