FAQs
Question
Do I need a passport?
Answer
Yes! A valid U.S. passport is required for this cruise, as we’ll be visiting international ports, including Aruba. The passport must be valid for six months after the day your cruise ends. The name on your passport should match the name on your reservation. What if my name doesn’t match? While some other forms of ID may be accepted for your cruise, a passport is the very best option and here’s why: ~ A passport is the hassle-free, gold standard for traveling between countries. ~ Boarding and disembarking through customs with a passport is usually faster than other types of ID documents. ~ If you have an issue while exploring a foreign port (such as missing the ship), it’s best to have a passport with you. Guests who do not bring required documents may be denied boarding.

Answer
We’ll be having a civil ceremony in Aruba during the cruise, on November 18, 2025. It's a small, intimate moment with our kids and a few family members—but the cruise is our celebration with everyone!
Question
Can I come on the cruise even if I don't want to attend the ceremony?

Question
How do I make sure I’m seated with you for dinner?

Once you’ve booked your cruise, just send us your Royal Caribbean booking number. We’ll submit it so your reservation is linked with ours. That way, we’ll all be seated together for dinner—just like a traditional reception, only better (and floating!).
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Cruise casual by day, tropical cocktail vibes by night! Royal Caribbean usually hosts a formal night or two, so pack something dressy if you’d like to get fancy. We’ll share any special theme nights once we know them!
Question
Will you be organizing group activities?
Answer
We’ll have a few casual meetups and dinners, but otherwise, the week is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Whether you’re sipping champagne by the pool or ziplining across the ship, we just want to spend time with you!
Question
Are you planning any group excursions?
Answer
We may coordinate one or two optional group excursions, especially in Aruba and Curaçao, for anyone who wants to explore together! Once we know who’s coming, we’ll share details and options. Feel free to join in—or do your own thing! It’s your vacation too.
Question
How do we get from the cruise port to the ceremony location in Aruba?
Answer
Our civil ceremony will take place at the Aruba Civil Town Hall (Stadhuis), a beautiful historic building in downtown Oranjestad. 📍 Address: Aruba Civil Town Hall Schoolstraat 2 Oranjestad, Aruba From the cruise port: It’s just a short 5–7 minute walk from the port. Exit the cruise terminal and head into downtown Oranjestad via L.G. Smith Boulevard. Turn left onto Schoolstraat (a bit after the bus terminal). In about 5–7 minutes, you’ll reach Schoolstraat 2—a charming lime‑green colonial building with white trim—this is the Civil Town Hall. If you’d like to walk together, we’ll organize a small gathering point near the terminal and walk over as a group.
