Embarkation Day

 1    Arrive the day before (if possible): If flying in, plan to arrive the day before to avoid travel delays. 2    Have your documents ready: Bring your passport (or birth certificate and ID if applicable), boarding pass, and any required travel documents. 3    Pack a carry-on bag: Your checked luggage may take a few hours to arrive at your stateroom, so pack essentials like swimwear, sunscreen, medications, phone chargers, and any wedding-related items you may need. 4    Know the boarding time: Ensure you arrive at the port within your assigned boarding window to avoid delays. 5    Plan for security checks: Similar to airports, you’ll go through security. Avoid packing prohibited items like alcohol, power strips, or irons. 6    Attend the muster drill: It’s mandatory but quick—just check in at your assigned station via the app or in person

Cruise Check In - MARCH 25th 8 AM EST

Check in will open on March 25th. If you are like me and want to be one of the first on the ship, I would recommend checking in early, by 8 AM on 3/25/25. I personally set an alarm and check in as soon as it opens, which is usually around 12:05-12:15 AM on check in day. Note: you do not need to complete the entire check in process at this time. Create a Royal Caribbean Account Your account will automatically be charged for gratuities at the end of the sailing ($18.50 PP per day or $21 PP per day if in a suite). If you have not yet used your $100 onboard credit for other cruise planner purchases, you can use this towards the gratuities. You can (and I recommend) pre-booking shows and some onboard activities.
