Royal Caribbean Boarding Day Tips You Should Know!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Matt from Royal Caribbean Blog provides a comprehensive guide for passengers preparing for their first day of a cruise. He emphasizes the importance of completing online check-in via the Royal Caribbean smartphone app up to 90 days in advance to save time at the terminal. The creator advises passengers to print luggage tags ahead of time and suggests utilizing porter services to deliver bags directly to staterooms. He provides an extensive list of prohibited items, such as firearms, sharp objects, and certain electronics, warning that these can cause luggage delays. To ensure a smooth transition, he recommends bringing a carry-on bag containing essentials like medication, electronics, and a change of clothes for use before staterooms are ready. Regarding arrival times, he suggests arriving between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to avoid crowds, noting that assigned boarding times are merely suggestions. The video concludes with a breakdown of the terminal security and check-in process, explaining how boarding priority is determined by the Crown and Anchor Society loyalty status. Once on board, passengers are encouraged to explore the ship and dining venues while waiting for their rooms to become available.
