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.

Question

Can I bring a Plus One?

Answer

Question

Should I worry about getting sea sick?

Answer

Even if you get sea sick on small boats, the likelihood of getting sick on this ship is very small. It is the large cruise ship therefore, you barely feel it move (it's sort of like a floating resort in the middle of the ocean). However, many people take precautions to prevent sea sickness, just in case. There are two options for this. ⦁Option 1⦁ is to take Dramamine once a day in the morning when you wake up. There non-drowsy dramamine before cruising at CVS or Walgreens and takes it every day, just in case. ⦁Option 2⦁ is to get a Scopolamine Transdermal Patch from your doctor before cruising. This is a Prescription patch that you can place behind your ear before boarding the ship that greatly helps with motion sickness. There is also medical aboard if you ever need to visit them for sickness or anything else that may come about.

Question

Do I need a passport to go on this cruise?

Answer

Technically no, however it is strongly encouraged especially with this far in advance notice. If for some reason you were late coming back to the ship while in port or had an emergency it could create even more headaches trying to get home without a passport.

Question

what documentation is required to board the ship?

Answer

If using a passport, it must be valid for 6 months after travel. In lieu of a passport, everyone is required to have a certified birth certificate (not a copy) as well as a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license) to travel. Also, if you've recently had a name change and the name on your passport does not match, you will need to take an extra step.

Question

Do I need to book excursions?

Answer

Absolutely not! You don't even have to get off the ship when we're at port if you don't want to. Again, this is YOUR vacation and we want you to do whatever makes you happy. However, if you would like to book excursions, such as snorkeling or a sightseeing tour, you can do so through your Royal Caribbean account once your cruise is linked. Excursions can also be booked once onboard, however, they are typically more expensive and may also sell out before boarding.

Question

How do we communicate on the ship?

Answer

If you download the Royal Caribbean app and sign in, you will be able to communicate with other guests on our cruise via the messaging feature for Free while on the ship. However, if you would like to communicate with people not on our cruise, you will need to purchase the internet package offered by Royal Caribbean or wait until we reach a port in order to have cell phone service.

Question

Will there be other events on the cruise?

Answer

Of course! There will be plenty of events and activities that you can do on your own or with others throughout the cruise. The App will list them everyday for you. We are looking forward to : Match your mate, The Quest game (Dom team actually won last Cruise!) Comedy show, Triva, Pool Side - Sexist man comp, belly flop comp.

Question

what do you mean when you keep saying Main dining for dinner?

Answer

Our group will have an assigned area with several tables in the Main dining room ready for us for dinner at 7pm every night. However, the only night that we ask you to dine in the main dining room is on our wedding night, so we can spend time with everyone and also cut our wedding cake. You are welcome to eat anywhere you would like on the other nights. Our space will always remain ready for 7pm dinner in the main dining room each night, regardless of who shows up, so there is no need to RSVP for dinners besides the specialty dining that requires an upcharge.

Question

Answer

Yes, check-in for the cruise begins 45 days before departure, which is Feb 27th 2026.
