Creator's Key Takeaways

Your stateroom won't be ready until around 1:00 p.m.

On most Royal Caribbean ships, your air conditioning won't work unless your balcony door is fully closed and latched.

Outlets are limited, especially on older ships.

You can no longer bring extension cords or multi-plug power strips, but here's what you can bring: a multi-port USB charger with one plug and an international adapter to get you one extra outlet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait until around 1:00 p.m. for your stateroom to be ready.
Use your SetSail pass to start using your drink package right away.
Close and latch your balcony door for the air conditioning to work.
Bring a multi-port USB charger and an international adapter for extra outlets.
