Cruise departure day:

Check in on your Royal Caribbean app as instructed by email.

Bring your valid identification to embark along with your boarding pass, luggage tags, and credit card.

Meet at Studio B Oct. 8th 1pm – 4pm to check in for your event and to be issued wristbands.  Those without wristbands will not be allowed into any of our private events on board.

You may bring as much checked luggage and carry on items as you would like however please note storage space in your cabin is very limited.

Onboard food and beverages:  

All cruisers are provided all meals on board. Juice, coffee and tea are also provided. Alcohol is priced at bar prices (EXPENSIVE). I recommend purchasing the deluxe beverage package if you drink five or more a day. Watch for a 25% off sale, which happens regularly. You’ll be able to purchase this through your Royal Caribbean account once you are booked an in the system.  https://www.royalcaribbean.com/booked/beverage-packages  

Specialty dining packages: the ship has several premium restaurants. I find the food in the included main dining room to be excellent, but if you want to go fancy check out the specialty restaurants. You can get a package deal or book a meal when you get on board. Lunches are cheaper and the menu is similar to dinner.

A $16.00 per person per day gratuity will be automatically added to each guest’s SeaPass account on a daily basis. Suite guests will see a $18.50 daily gratuity.

Shore Excursions: 

We recommend guided excursions booked through Royal Caribbean through their app using your cruiser number. If something happens and you are late they will hold the ship for you. If you aren’t on an excursion booked through Royal they will leave without you. THE SHIP RUNS ON SHIP TIME. Even if we change time zones the ship won’t, so be aware of ship time before you disembark so you aren’t late getting back. THE SHIP WILL LEAVE YOU.

Roatan, Honduras: the area directly outside the port gates is a little rough, so I recommend taking a organized excursion somewhere. There are some great bars with snorkling on the leeward side of the island.

Costa Maya: This town revolves around the cruise industry. There are some fine excursions to take, and a large port area to walk to from the ship that has many shops and restaurants.

Cozumel shore excursions: There are great excursions to enjoy, and I recommend renting a scooter or car and driving around the island loop or going to one of the resorts.  

All that said, you don’t have to leave the boat when we park at an island. The ship empties out, so it is fun to have a run of the place.
