We recommend flying in the day before the cruise to be safe. Colorado weather can be unpredictable, and flight times often change, so we want to make sure you don’t risk missing the ship. This is something we always do. Please feel free to stay at ____ with us or any hotel of your choice.

Arriving at the cruise ship terminal can be a bit overwhelming. The luggage drop-off area is always very busy, but once inside the terminal, it's smooth sailing. Ship Depart from Terminal at 4:30 SHARP! The cruise will not wait for you! ∵YOU MUST ONBOARD 90 MINUTES BEFORE DEPARTURE TIME∵
Upon arrival, you will hand your suitcases to a Porter, who will hand them off to be delivered to your stateroom (luggage tags for your specific stateroom will be emailed to you by Royal Caribbean, which you will need to attach to each of your bags beforehand). You are allowed to bring a carry on with you, such as a backpack, purse, or pool bag. We suggest having a change of clothes, such as a swimsuit and flops, in that. Your suitcases may not arrive to your stateroom until 5pm, so bring any other necessities (like medication and sunscreen) in your carry on. Once aboard, head to the buffet or pool spots, walk around, enjoy the welcome party. Rooms are usually not ready until 1pm- keys will be at your door. This is needed for room lights, drinks, and purchases also. Follow the on-screen instructions for the mandatory muster drill. Meet us at Mason Jar Bar - 3:30pm for a proper hello, and goodie bag! Then Enjoy dinner - how ever you like, main dinning room or 'quick service'
