YOUR HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY

We’re all in this together. Here are some things to keep in mind for the health and safety of everyone onboard.

Safety First with Swim Vests.

Play it safe at the pool, swimming smart and looking cool. Complimentary swim vests are available in 3 sizes designed for children ages 4 to 12. Swim vests are located near the towel station on Deck 11.

GOOD TO KNOW Disconnect in Labadee Guest Wi–Fi is not available in Labadee. Take some time to disconnect and enjoy the rest of what the island has to offer!

HELPFUL TIPS FOR TODAY Stay Safe in Port Don’t let a misstep ruin your day in port. Mind your step on uneven sidewalks and streets. And please note that some curbs can be very steep.

Take A Towel And Dive Into Adventure With your SeaPass card, you can check out as many towels needed after each new adventure. Make sure to bring your towel back by 5:00 pm on the last day of the sailing. A $25 replacement fee will be charged to your SeaPass card for each unreturned towel.

Going Ashore in Labadee In order to guarantee safety and security, guests are not permitted to leave the Labadee site. If you are interested in shore excursion experiences, you can book directly in the Royal Caribbean app or visit the Shore Excursions team on Deck 5 for more information.

Pump the Jams, Not the Volume We know you are excited to blast your vacation playlist, but not everyone has your exquisite taste in music! Please be mindful of the volume of your personal speaker devices at the pool and in your staterooms.

Beat the Rush Avoid lining up to settle your SeaPass account. Register your credit card on the Royal Caribbean App or at Guest Services on Deck 5, no check–out will be required.

Speed Down the Dragon’s Tail Coaster Race down the mountainside on the thrilling Dragon’s Tail Coaster — an alpine coaster that twists and turns along Labadee’s coastline. Book on the island!

FAQ ONBOARD EXPENSE ACCOUNT Setting Up Your Account If you did not 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. Our ships utilize a cashless system, so your SeaPass card will be the only way to make purchases while onboard. Please note that a temporary hold of $99.75 will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 will generate additional holds. The hold will be released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends, but can take up to 30 days, depending on your bank. You may add other guests to your expense account by visiting the Guest Services desk. A daily limit can be placed on arcade spending. All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App. Printed receipts will be provided for each onboard purchase, and a preliminary statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the last 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. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services prior to disembarking the ship.

DINING Specialty Dining 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. The Maitre d' can also assist you with making changes to your seating. Room Service Continental breakfast is complimentary. Both the All-Day Menu and American Breakfast will have a delivery fee of $7.95 plus an 18% gratuity for each order. To view the menu, visit the Royal App or browse on the TV in your stateroom. When you’re ready to order, dial [7000] from your stateroom phone.

DEPARTURE PROCESS The evening before departure, you will receive the "Tips for an easy departure" flyer in your stateroom. The flyer details all the information you need to know for departure.

GRATUITIES How much are gratuities? If not already pre-paid, a $16.00 gratuity ($18.50 for Suite guests) is added to each guest's onboard account daily to help recognize superior service from crew during your cruise. This gratuity is shared among dining & culinary services staff, stateroom attendants, and other hotel services teams working behind the scenes. In addition to daily gratuities, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverage, mini bar items, specialty dining, and spa & salon purchases.

GENERAL SHIP INFORMATION Directions Having a hard time finding your way around?
