You can also view the Daily Planner, deck maps, your onboard account, restaurant and bar menus. The app is free to download and use and is available in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

An internet package isn’t required to use the Royal App. Simply connect to the shipboard network (Wifi -Guest-Vision ), and you’re all set!

If you haven’t already downloaded the app, type login.com to your internet browser and click on “Use our app for free” to download. Please note, guests must be at least 13 years old to use the app.

How does Guest Chat work?

Guest Chat is a for-purchase feature in the Royal Caribbean App that allows you to communicate with other guests onboard. To use this feature, you must be at least 13 years of age and connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi network.

In the app, click the chat bubble icon in the top right, create your account, and confirm that you accept the $1.99 per person, per day charge.

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass Onboard Expense Account?

If you haven’t already set up an account during Online Check-In or during boarding in the cruise terminal, you can do so in the Royal App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Onboard Expense Accounts can be set up with a credit card, a debit card, or cash.

Important Information:

When deciding which credit/debit card to associate with your SeaPass account, please note that a temporary authorization (hold) of $99.75 will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 will generate additional holds. While not actual charges, these holds will reduce available funds. Most holds are released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends but can take up to 30 days depending on your bank. Please contact your bank o r financial institution as only they can remove holds. Royal Caribbean International doesn’t control how long holds remain.

How do I pay for things onboard?

Our ships utilize a cashless system. Once your Onboard Expense Account has been set up, simply present your SeaPass Card any time you’d like to make a purchase.

Can I change my form of payment after I’ve set up my account?

The form of payment on your onboard expense account can be updated in the Royal Caribbean App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Please note, prior holds will remain on the original card until final charges are submitted at the end of the cruise

Can I add additional guests to my Onboard Expense Account?

Yes, additional guests from your stateroom or another stateroom may be added as authorized users on your account. Please visit our Guest Services Desk on Deck 5 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Carib bean App. Printed receipts will be provided for each onboard purchase, and a statement will be delivered the night prior to debark (the final morning of your cruise). A final statement will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours of departing the ship on the last day of your cruise.

How do I settle my onboard charges?

If you set up your account with a credit or debit card, we’ll automatically post the final charge to your card on file. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services on Deck 5 prior to disembarking the ship.

I have Onboard Credits (OBC). How can I use them?

Available onboard credit amounts can be viewed on your account beginning on Day 2 of your sailing via the Royal App . On the last day of your cruise, all onboard credits will be applied to your outstanding account balance before additional payment methods are charged. If your OBC is refundable (not associated to a promotion), any remaining unused balance will be refunded to your card on file. If your OBC is promotional, the value is “use it or lose it” and any remaining amounts will be forfeit at the end of the cruise.

Can limits be placed by parents or guardians on arcade spending?

While our system automatically sets a $50 per person per day limit, this can be increased/decreased to any preferred amount. Just ask your friendly Guest Services team member to adjust it. Please note, this is a daily limit. A cruise limit cannot be set.

I have Onboard Credits (OBC). How can I use them?

The app is free to download and use and is available in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

How do I connect to the App?

An internet package isn’t required to use the Royal App. Simply connect to the shipboard network (Wifi -Guest-Vision ), and you’re all set!

If you haven’t already downloaded the app, type login.com to your internet browser and click on “Use our app for free” to download. Please note, guests must be at least 13 years old to use the app.

How does Guest Chat work?

Guest Chat is a for-purchase feature in the Royal Caribbean App that allows you to communicate with other guests onboard. To use this feature, you must be at least 13 years of age and connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi network.

In the app, click the chat bubble icon in the top right, create your account, and confirm that you accept the $1.99 per person, per day charge. Please note, chat must be purchased for the full length of the cruise. All guests who wish to communicate with each other will need to purchase the feature.

In the event you’re unable to view any details in the app, try these steps:

• Be sure you’re connected to “Wifi -Guest-Vision.”

• Try putting your phone in airplane mode, especially on embarkation day.

• Verify in the app settings that your Guest Account information (name, email, date of birth) matches the information you used when booking your cruise.

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass Onboard Expense Account?

If you haven’t already set up an account during Online Check-In or during boarding in the cruise terminal, you can do so in the Royal App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Onboard Expense Accounts can be set up with a credit card, a debit card, or cash.

Important Information:

When deciding which credit/debit card to associate with your SeaPass account, please note that a temporary authorization (hold) of $99.75 will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 will generate additional holds. While not actual charges, these holds will reduce available funds. Most holds are released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends but can take up to 30 days depending on your bank. Please contact your bank o r financial institution as only they can remove holds. Royal Caribbean International doesn’t control how long holds remain.

How do I pay for things onboard?

Our ships utilize a cashless system. Once your Onboard Expense Account has been set up, simply present your SeaPass Card any time you’d like to make a purchase.

Can I change my form of payment after I’ve set up my account?

The form of payment on your onboard expense account can be updated in the Royal Caribbean App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Please note, prior holds will remain on the original card until final charges are submitted at the end of the cruise

Can I add additional guests to my Onboard Expense Account?

Yes, additional guests from your stateroom or another stateroom may be added as authorized users on your account. Please visit our Guest Services Desk on Deck 5 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Carib bean App. Printed receipts will be provided for each onboard purchase, and a statement will be delivered the night prior to debark (the final morning of your cruise). A final statement will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours of departing the ship on the last day of your cruise.

How do I settle my onboard charges?

If you set up your account with a credit or debit card, we’ll automatically post the final charge to your card on file. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services on Deck 5 prior to disembarking the ship.

I have Onboard Credits (OBC). How can I use them?

Available onboard credit amounts can be viewed on your account beginning on Day 2 of your sailing via the Royal App . On the last day of your cruise, all onboard credits will be applied to your outstanding account balance before additional payment methods are charged. If your OBC is refundable (not associated to a promotion), any remaining unused balance will be refunded to your card on file. If your OBC is promotional, the value is “use it or lose it” and any remaining amounts will be forfeit at the end of the cruise.

Can limits be placed by parents or guardians on arcade spending?

While our system automatically sets a $50 per person per day limit, this can be increased/decreased to any preferred amount. Just ask your friendly Guest Services team member to adjust it. Please note, this is a daily limit. A cruise limit cannot be set.

Royal Caribbean App

What can I use the Royal Caribbean App for onboard?

Make the most of your time onboard by planning your cruise in the Royal Caribbean App. No need to wait in line – book dining, shows, and shore excursions via the App! You can also view the Daily Planner, deck maps, your onboard account, restaurant and bar menus. The app is free to download and use and is available in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

How do I connect to the App?

An internet package isn’t required to use the Royal App. Simply connect to the shipboard network (Wifi -Guest-Vision ), and you’re all set!

If you haven’t already downloaded the app, type login.com to your internet browser and click on “Use our app for free” to download. Please note, guests must be at least 13 years old to use the app.

How does Guest Chat work?

Guest Chat is a for-purchase feature in the Royal Caribbean App that allows you to communicate with other guests onboard. To use this feature, you must be at least 13 years of age and connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi network.

In the app, click the chat bubble icon in the top right, create your account, and confirm that you accept the $1.99 per person, per day charge. Please note, chat must be purchased for the full length of the cruise. All guests who wish to communicate with each other will need to purchase the feature.

I can’t see anything on the Royal App. What should I do?

In the event you’re unable to view any details in the app, try these steps:

• Be sure you’re connected to “Wifi -Guest-Vision.”

• Try putting your phone in airplane mode, especially on embarkation day.

• Verify in the app settings that your Guest Account information (name, email, date of birth) matches the information you used when booking your cruise.

• If the problem persists, please visit our Digital Manager Service Desk on Deck 5 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass Onboard Expense Account?

If you haven’t already set up an account during Online Check-In or during boarding in the cruise terminal, you can do so in the Royal App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Onboard Expense Accounts can be set up with a credit card, a debit card, or cash.

Important Information:

When deciding which credit/debit card to associate with your SeaPass account, please note that a temporary authorization (hold) of $99.75 will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 will generate additional holds. While not actual charges, these holds will reduce available funds. Most holds are released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends but can take up to 30 days depending on your bank. Please contact your bank o r financial institution as only they can remove holds. Royal Caribbean International doesn’t control how long holds remain.

How do I pay for things onboard?

Our ships utilize a cashless system. Once your Onboard Expense Account has been set up, simply present your SeaPass Card any time you’d like to make a purchase.

Can I change my form of payment after I’ve set up my account?

The form of payment on your onboard expense account can be updated in the Royal Caribbean App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Please note, prior holds will remain on the original card until final charges are submitted at the end of the cruise

Can I add additional guests to my Onboard Expense Account?

Yes, additional guests from your stateroom or another stateroom may be added as authorized users on your account. Please visit our Guest Services Desk on Deck 5 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Carib bean App. Printed receipts will be provided for each onboard purchase, and a statement will be delivered the night prior to debark (the final morning of your cruise). A final statement will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours of departing the ship on the last day of your cruise.

How do I settle my onboard charges?

If you set up your account with a credit or debit card, we’ll automatically post the final charge to your card on file. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services on Deck 5 prior to disembarking the ship.

I have Onboard Credits (OBC). How can I use them?

Available onboard credit amounts can be viewed on your account beginning on Day 2 of your sailing via the Royal App . On the last day of your cruise, all onboard credits will be applied to your outstanding account balance before additional payment methods are charged. If your OBC is refundable (not associated to a promotion), any remaining unused balance will be refunded to your card on file. If your OBC is promotional, the value is “use it or lose it” and any remaining amounts will be forfeit at the end of the cruise.

Can limits be placed by parents or guardians on arcade spending?

While our system automatically sets a $50 per person per day limit, this can be increased/decreased to any preferred amount. Just ask your friendly Guest Services team member to adjust it. Please note, this is a daily limit. A cruise limit cannot be set.

Dining

How can I make specialty restaurant reservations?

Specialty Dining reservations can be made through the Royal Caribbean App. You may also dial 7000 on your stateroom phone and select the restaurant you wish to dine in or visit the restaurant and make a reservation with the Maitre’D outside on Deck 4.

Important Information:

When deciding which credit/debit card to associate with your SeaPass account, please note that a temporary authorization (hold) of $99.75 will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 will generate additional holds. While not actual charges, these holds will reduce available funds. Most holds are released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends but can take up to 30 days depending on your bank. Please contact your bank o r financial institution as only they can remove holds. Royal Caribbean International doesn’t control how long holds remain.

How do I pay for things onboard?

Our ships utilize a cashless system. Once your Onboard Expense Account has been set up, simply present your SeaPass Card any time you’d like to make a purchase.

A final statement will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours of departing the ship on the last day of your cruise.

How do I settle my onboard charges?

If you set up your account with a credit or debit card, we’ll automatically post the final charge to your card on file. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services on Deck 5 prior to disembarking the ship.

I have Onboard Credits (OBC). How can I use them?

Available onboard credit amounts can be viewed on your account beginning on Day 2 of your sailing via the Royal App . On the last day of your cruise, all onboard credits will be applied to your outstanding account balance before additional payment methods are charged. If your OBC is refundable (not associated to a promotion), any remaining unused balance will be refunded to your card on file. If your OBC is promotional, the value is “use it or lose it” and any remaining amounts will be forfeit at the end of the cruise.

Can limits be placed by parents or guardians on arcade spending?
