Costs: There are two costs associated with this "hash" cruise. There's the hash registration (REGO) fee that is paid to the JRH3 and then there's the cruise cost that is paid to NCL through our designated travel agent. You must first REGO and be approved first before attempting to book your cabin.

Hash Rego Fee: The hash REGO fee is $75 and it pays for 7 hash trails (3 on board ship and 4 at the destinations), down down beer at non-NCL owned, off-ship destinations, pirate booty (gimmies), for prizes (during the hash games) and for other miscellaneous expenses and complimentary items. Additionally, you're encouraged to have the liquor package included in your cabin as the hash will not be supplying any alcoholic beverages aboard ship. Note: Non-hasher friends and relatives that want to sail with us but do not attend our group events DO NOT need to purchase hash REGOs.

Parking During The Cruise: We will try to secure FREE or reduced parking fees, while we are at sea, at the TBD hash hotel. Parking at the cruise terminal is $17.00 per day plus tax for vehicles & RVs, including day of arrival and day of departure. Cheaper parking can be found nearby if you search for it.

Alcoholic Beverages Aboard Ship: Each adult, 21 and over, will be allowed to hand carry one unopened bottle of your favorite wine aboard ship (2 bottles total per cabin). The ship does not allow you to bring other alcoholic beverages aboard ship. However, since everyone is expected to purchase the liquor package on this cruise, you will not need to bring your own alcohol with you.
