SELF-ASSIST EARLY DEPARTURE

For guests who want to depart the ship early and can manage their luggage themselves. Please note, wheelchair assistance cannot be provided for the Self-Assist program.

1. The night before departure, please keep your luggage in your stateroom. Luggage tags are not required.

2. On departure day, proceed to the gangway with your bags and SeaPass card to depart and proceed to the transportation area.

REGULAR DEPARTURE

For guests who want to use our luggage service and don’t mind an assigned departure time.

1. The night before departure, please place luggage tags on all your bags and leave them outside of your stateroom door by the time noted on your “Tips for an easy departure” flyer. Medication, flight tickets, passport/proof of citizenship, and any valuables should be kept with you. A video overview of the disembarkation process will be shown on your stateroom television.

2. On departure morning, enjoy breakfast or relax in your designated departure lounge until your number is called.

3. Proceed to the gangway with your SeaPass card to depart and then head to the baggage claim area corresponding with your luggage tag number. After, proceed to the transportation area.

What time do I have to depart a Royal Caribbean cruise ship?

The earliest time guests may depart is 7:30 AM and the latest time is 9:00 AM. All guests must leave the ship before the guests joining the next cruise can board. A “Tips for an easy departure” flyer with the exact details will be provided on the last day.

If you have made your own air and hotel arrangements, you will be responsible for ensuring you debark the ship on time to meet your transportation to the airport and/or hotel.

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.

Please contact your bank or financial institution as only they can remove holds. Royal Caribbean International doesn’t control how long holds remain.

How can I track my onboard spending?

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.
