Gratuities for services you book yourself, such as spa and salon services, excursions, etc. are not included with your trip qualification. Any of these or similar gratuities are at your own discretion.

When you complete your online check-in for the cruise on the Royal Caribbean app, you will provide a valid credit card to link to your onboard account. All purchases while on the cruise are charged directly to your onboard account and one payment totaling your purchases for the entirety of your trip will be charged upon disembarkation day.

We recommend bringing multiple forms of payment with you. Credit cards are widely accepted abroad and will give you the best exchange rate. We highly recommend using a credit card with no foreign transaction fees - or else you may be charged a fee for processing payments made in foreign currency to your card. It is a best practice to let your credit card company know that you will be travelling internationally so there is no risk to your card company flagging your purchases as potential fraud.

You can also decide to carry local currency. We recommend getting local currency at an ATM as it is the most cost-effect exchange rate than going to a currency exchange.

To apply or renew your passport, visit the U.S. Department of State Passport website.

Please be advised that processing times can vary widely throughout the year, so apply or renew as soon as possible to ensure you receive your passport in time for the trip.

Depending on your citizenship, you may need a Visa. At this time, there is no visa requirement for U.S. citizens.

The nationalities requiring a visa can be found here.

You can find your luggage tags about 30 days prior to cruising on the Royal Caribbean website under My Documents. Please print and fill out your luggage tags prior to travelling, but do not attach to your luggage until the morning of embarkation. These luggage tags must be adhered to your luggage. This luggage tag is what the ship requires to deliver your luggage to your cabin.

You will need your cruise Setsail pass, available in the Royal Caribbean app on the profile page. Be sure you have the app downloaded prior to leaving the U.S.

Right now! Log into the Royal Caribbean app now and complete the Check-In process in your profile. Instructions were sent via email on March 21st. This process MUST be completed 72 hours in advance of embarkation, but we recommend completing the process as soon as possible.

We strongly recommend that you book any tours and excursions directly through Royal Caribbean as they will have a record of your tour and will hold the ship if the tour returns late. In the unlikely event that your tour is significantly delayed, and the ship cannot wait, the ship will make all arrangements for you to return to the ship at no expense to you. If you choose to book tours through another site or company, you run the risk of being left behind should anything happen to delay your return while you are out. Please note that any fees incurred and any additional travel accommodations needed due to negligence are the responsibility of the Trip Achiever.

The dress code for the main dining room and specialty dining restaurants are Smart Casual. Smart Casual means comfortable yet tasteful (a dress, skirt, long pants, or jeans and a stylish top or button-down for women and a collared shirt or jacket/sports coat and pants for men). Shorts and flip flops are not considered Smart Casual. There are two formal nights on the ship where it is requested to wear Formal attire – meaning dress to impress with a cocktail dress, skirt, slacks, an elegant dress top or blazer, etc. for women and suits and ties or similar for men, though it is not required. The daily program delivered to your stateroom each day will be your guide to the appropriate attire each evening.

Yes, some of the shows and entertainment on board require advance reservations and are subject to availability. This includes Broadway-style shows in the Main Theatre, Ice Shows, Aqua Shows and Comedy Shows. You can view the current show schedule in the Royal Caribbean App or on their website through My Royal Cruise. You can reserve your spot by clicking on the show you would like and following the prompts.

We recommend being back on board the ship at least 45-minutes prior to departure time. Check your daily program for the most accurate arrival and departure times.

You can make and receive phone calls and text messages as well as browse the web while on board using the ship’s roaming services. Be aware that you will be charged at rates similar to international roaming which will be billed to your monthly bill by your wireless provider. We recommend speaking with your wireless provider prior to travelling about their international service options if you wish to be connected while abroad. You can also avoid this by purchasing a ship Wi-Fi package and utilizing Wi-Fi calling and iMessage or WhatsApp for text messaging while onboard.

Cruise itineraries travel the calmest waters in the world, plus, stabilizers on ships, availability of advance weather information and development of effective preventative medications have greatly reduced the incidence of motion discomfort. However, if you have experienced motion sickness in the past, we recommend packing the appropriate medicine.

Our group will be dining at the 6:00pm dinner seating in the Main Dining Room. The ship has assigned seats for each achiever and their guest. The group will be sitting together in one section of the dining room. Cruise staff will direct you to your table upon entry to the restaurant. Keep in mind that you are welcome to dine at any included or specialty dining restaurant; dining in the Main Dining Room is not mandatory.

Your luggage will be delivered to your stateroom within a few hours of setting sail, if tagged properly. We recommend packing anything you will need in your carry-on bag if you want it immediately after boarding – like medications, a change of clothes, passports, etc. Your luggage may not arrive in time to get ready for our Welcome Party – so we recommend packing the outfit you would like to wear in your carry-on if you would like to change.

The morning of embarkation day you will be prompted by the Royal Caribbean app to watch a Muster drill explanation video including life jacket instruction and listening to the emergency horn. Then, once you are onboard, you will report to your Muster station (listed in your app and on your Seapass) and check in with the staff to complete the full Muster drill process. This is required for the ship to set sail, so do this as soon as you board so it is done, and your vacation can begin!

We will have a Touchstone Crystal hospitality desk near Dazzles on Deck 9. Please stop by during our hours below if you need any assistance.
