Creator's Key Takeaways

Unfortunately, you're not going to be able to board today because the school ID is not acceptable.

I cannot begin to apologize enough for this and am doing all that I can to rectify it.

We wanted the money for the cruise back and the expenses the expenses that we had for traveling to Florida while we were there for meals, gas, the lodging and all of that.

Royal Caribbean told me this was human error by staff at the cruiseport and Shannon and her family should have been able to board as they had the right documentation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get all documentation in writing from the cruise line before traveling

✓Ensure you have proper ID for all passengers, including special needs accommodations

✓Read cruise contracts thoroughly to understand policies and denial reasons

✓Be overprepared and don't give cruise lines a reason to deny boarding
