Creator's Key Takeaways
Your arrival time is not a suggestion. Royal Caribbean in San Pedro is very strict.
Nowadays, you can do your safety briefing on the Royal Caribbean app while you're waiting in the terminal.
Instead, head to Cafe Prominade on deck 5. It's open during boarding, it's free, and it's a much calmer environment.
The best dining times for the last night of the cruise fill up within the first hour of embarcation.
