Creator's Key Takeaways

If your name is Michael, don't give me Mike to put on your cruise reservation because it's not going to match your passport or your birth certificate.

If you're a third of a family, you're John Smith III, we need to say the third. If you're John Smith Jr., we need to say junior.

If you bring your passport and you're a little worried, uh, go ahead and bring your birth certificate, bring your bring your ID, bring everything because you do not want to be turned away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Double triple check everyone in your group's names to match passport or birth certificate.
✓Bring all identification, including passport, birth certificate, and ID, to avoid being turned away.
✓Fill out official paperwork for traveling with a child not directly yours, especially if last names don't match.
✓Contact Royal Caribbean or your travel agent if unsure about required paperwork.
✓Find and secure all documentation well before the cruise to avoid last-minute scrambling.
