Q&A
Question
Why did you cancel?
Answer
Unfortunately life got in the way and we are unable to afford the extra cost of the ceremony. We are keeping the cruise as a little vacation get away (we were both extra sick on our honeymoon) and as a fun get together with our favorite people.
Question
How do I cancel my reservation/will I get my deposit back?
Answer
Please call the same number listed below in the how to book FAQ. You will get your deposit back as long as you cancel prior to the end of 2025.
Question
How do I get the group room block?
Answer
To book you must call (800) 465-3595, choose option 5. Let them know you are booking under the Firth Group #6793660. There is a refundable $200 deposit per room. It is preferred you book through the Royal Caribbean groups as this makes it easier to keep track of everyone. However if you book through any other means, please choose 5:30 pm (early) dining, and send the bride your reservation number so she can add it to the group. This will allow her to ensure everyone is sat together for the wedding dinner.
Question
When do I need to book my cruise/RSVP by?
Answer
The sooner the better! The earlier you book, the longer you have to make payments. As a bonus, you will also have more rooms to choose from. That being said, we turn in our ceremony count 90 days before sailing, 9 January 2026, if you have not booked by that time, you will not be added to our count. Please RSVP as soon as you book your cabin, or know that you will not make it.
Question
Do I need a passport?
Answer
Either a passport (valid at least 6 months after the cruise) or your birth certificate + valid ID (drivers license, military ID, or state ID card) are required to sail. Please keep in mind that passport processing time can be up to 3 months. See "Cruise Booking" tab and Boarding Requirements for more.
Question
Do we have to do the activities with you?
Answer
While we would love for you to join on all our adventures, we realize that the activity might not fit all. Feel free to enjoy your day however you wish! We will connect onboard with other daily activities for you to join us at.
Question
How do we stay connected without wifi?
Answer
There are several internet packages available for purchase. If you choose to forgo this add on, Royal Caribbean has a free app with a chat feature. You can use this feature without paying for internet. We recommend to download app prior to boarding. Per RC: "You can make dining reservations, book shore excursions, chat with friends and family, view activities and entertainment, and access your onboard account. You can also explore deck maps, view venues and their operating hours, access menus, and much more."
