Guests who are not residents from the United States will need a valid passport to attend the wedding, as the ship will be departing from the United States. Residents of the United States do not require a passport but having one is always recommended for ease of travel. Please check the expiration date on your passport. If it expires within six months of the wedding date, we recommend renewing it as soon as possible to avoid any travel issues. Processing times for passport renewals can vary, so plan accordingly.
Due to the restrictions set by Royal Caribbean, we can only accommodate individuals listed in the RSVP section of our website. When you’re prepared, please enter your name in the RSVP area, and if you received a plus one, it will be noted there. If you would like to invite someone to accompany you, they are welcome to stay in your stateroom; however, please be aware that they will not be part of the wedding events. Thank you for your understanding!
