We are anticipating our 2nd sailing day (also our 1st “at-sea” day). This will be Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025. We are tentatively scheduled for 4:30 pm at the Olive or Twist for ceremony & 2 hour reception immediately after. Please join us for dinner following the reception in the Main Dining Room at 7:30pm for food, DELICIOUS wedding cake, and lots of continued fun! We will continue to update this section accordingly :)
Dining: The newly weds are given one speciality dining experience that we will most likely utilize on the first night. We have chosen the 7:30pm dining option for the rest of the cruise. Our group will always have the nightly reservation at 7:30pm in the main dining room for the duration of the cruise. With that, it is your vacation - so feel free to enjoy and explore the plenty of other dining options and times the ship has to offer! Excursions: In Grand Cayman we are signed up for “ Mangrove Kayak Adventure” In Mexico we are signed up for : “Xrail Exploration to Jade Cavern (4 seater vehicle)”
Keep your travel documents with you at the terminal! You will need to present these at check-in. All documents must be original, no photocopies! The names on your travel documents must match your reservation! Option 1) Passports are best! The passport must expire AFTER 7/17/2025. Name on the passport must also match the name on the reservation. Option 2) If you do not have a passport: An original copy of your United States/State-Certified Birth Certificate & government issue I.D. please see the "travel hub" section on the FAQ page of Royal Caribbean's website for more answers.
Wedding Attire - Cocktail Casual/Resort wear during the day. There will be at least 1 formal night on our trip- can wear anything from formal to elegant casual. This evening also happens to coincide with the wedding day. There is also other "themed" nights during the duration of the cruise- examples include Caribbean/Tropical, White Night, Greek Isle, and 50's/60's/70's/80's. To find out the theme of the evening, check the Royal Caribbean App under the "Daily Calendar"

Feel free to do your own research! Here is a collection of tips that may be lesser known 1. Watching a ship tour video on YouTube! That way you can familiarize yourself with the boat, make a list of things you want to do, or places you'll frequent! 2. Free water, from a dispenser, is available in several locations on the ship. You can also bring your own water bottle and fill it. Bottled water can be purchased at any bar, and it is included in the deluxe beverage package and the refreshment package. 3. Most walls (and doors) are metal. You can hang clothes, towels, etc. with magnetic hooks. air tags, waterproof case, portable fan, wrinkle release spray (no steamers allowed) are also handy. 4. Cabin door signs or carpet patterns may point to bow or aft of ship. 5. If you have onboard credit and don't want to spend it (or just need cash), load your seapass card at the slot machines using a "room charge", then cash out at the desk for a zero fee "atm" 6. The Royal Caribbean app is extremely helpful for check-in, activities of the day, what the theme/dress of the night is, and messaging with others 7. The Cruise Compass keeps you in-the-know about everything there is to see and do both onboard and off. Think show times, restaurant open times, when and where bingo will be played, and what shops have sales. The activities aboard at a given time are located on the Cruise Compass- which can be found on your tv in your room, or on the app. A paper copy is available at guest services or stateroom attendant. 8. If you get motion sick- you can start dramamine a few days before and a known sickness aid is to eat green apples (they common among ship) 9. Upon request, complimentary in-room continental breakfast is available. An order-form is available to fill out and must be done the night before. This is a bonus . This is in addition to the many other yummy breakfast options aboard the ship. Note: for a “full breakfast” to be delivered, there is a service fee.
