Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean has one of the best app experiences at sea. I think their technology is really, really good.

I do want to give kudos to Royal Caribbean here, their check-in process is probably the best check-in process of any cruise line that I have experienced.

I've been from my Uber to on board in less than 15 minutes before.

It is a super quick process.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Download the Royal Caribbean app and link your reservation to start booking excursions, beverage packages, and more before check-in.
✓Have a security photo, passports, or other travel documents ready for the online check-in process.
✓Select an early port arrival time to get on board quickly and enjoy free lunch.
✓Pack essentials for embarkation day in your carry-on, including one bottle of wine per adult.
✓Complete the muster station drill on the app once on board to start your vacation.
