When Can You Board Norwegian Viva?
Norwegian puts an embarkation time on your eDocs and asks that you arrive no earlier than one hour before it. You must be onboard no later than one hour before the departure time in the same eDocs, or you will not be permitted to sail.
The arrival time on your own boarding pass is the one that governs your sailing.

Local Tip
Norwegian Viva usually uses Terminal 16 at 1602 Harborside Drive. The attached parking garage puts you steps from check-in, but be aware of the 6'8" clearance if you're in a truck or SUV — surface lots nearby work for taller vehicles. Reserve parking online at portofgalveston.com for the best rates. Complete check-in through the NCL app before arrival. For a true Texas pre-cruise meal, Leon's World's Finest Bar-B-Que is about 10 minutes away — cash only, and the brisket is outstanding.
