Internet

How can I purchase internet?

Purchase Internet packages from your device! Simply connect to the shipboard Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi-Guest-Ovation) and open your web browser to view available packages for your sailing.

Trouble connecting? Try these steps:

1. Ensure your device is in AIRPLANE MODE

2. Turn your Wi-Fi ON and connect to “WiFi-Guest-Ovation”

3. On the pop up, click “Access Internet,” or type login.com in your web browser.

For additional assistance, visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone.

I have a pre-paid internet package. How do I activate it?

To activate your pre-paid package, connect to the shipboard network (Wi-Fi-GuestOvation), open up your internet browser, and register. After tapping “Next,” you’ll see a coupon for the package you purchased displaying a cost of $0.00.

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, and a map of Perfect Day at CocoCay! 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-Ovation), 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:

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

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

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

Account

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or 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 4. 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 or 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 4. 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 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. 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 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 or on your stateroom TV. 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 Arcade Attendant 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.

Staterooms

Where can I find my stateroom number?

Your stateroom number is listed in the Royal App (tap on the person icon) or on your Set Sail pass available at the bottom of the home screen. The last 3 digits of your stateroom number are also on your SeaPass Card. Onboard, use the Way Finders TVs located in each elevator lobby to map your stateroom’s exact location.

Who do I contact if I need anything?

• Stateroom Requests: please reach out to your stateroom attendant

• Shore Excursions: visit our Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5

• Dining: please contact the venue or visit the Maitre’D outside the Main Dining room on Decks 3 & 4.

• Internet connectivity: visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone

Internet

How can I purchase internet?

Purchase Internet packages from your device! Simply connect to the shipboard Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi-Guest-Ovation) and open your web browser to view available packages for your sailing.

Trouble connecting? Try these steps:

1. Ensure your device is in AIRPLANE MODE

2. Turn your Wi-Fi ON and connect to “WiFi-Guest-Ovation”

3. On the pop up, click “Access Internet,” or type login.com in your web browser.

For additional assistance, visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone.

I have a pre-paid internet package. How do I activate it?

To activate your pre-paid package, connect to the shipboard network (Wi-Fi-GuestOvation), open up your internet browser, and register. After tapping “Next,” you’ll see a coupon for the package you purchased displaying a cost of $0.00.

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, and a map of Perfect Day at CocoCay! 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-Ovation), 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:

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

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

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

Account

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or 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 4. 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 or 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 4. 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 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. 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 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 or on your stateroom TV. 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 Arcade Attendant 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.

How can I update my dinner seating?

Please visit the Main Dining Room on Decks 3 & 5 to make changes to your seating.

Is Room Service available?

Yes! 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 3415 from your stateroom phone.

Beverages

Where can I purchase a beverage package?

Beverage packages can be purchased or upgraded at any bar on the ship. Please note, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverage package purchases.

I pre-purchased a beverage package. Where can I get my soda cup?

A soda cup for your pre-purchased beverage package can be collected at any bar onboard.

I have pre-purchased a coffee card. Where I can get my card?

To pick up your coffee card, stop by Café Promenade on Deck 4.

Shore Excursions

How do I book Shore Excursions?

Shore excursions can be booked through the Royal App on your mobile device, through the kiosks in front of the Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5, or directly with our Shore Excursions Team. For more information or assistance, feel free to chat with our team at their desk.

When will I receive my shore excursions tickets?

All shore excursion tickets will be delivered to your stateroom by your stateroom attendant the night prior to each port.

Entertainment

How do I book show reservations?

Reservations aren’t required for our shows. Just arrive before showtime and get ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy!

No, all shows are complimentary!

What are the hours for the Adventure Ocean program?

Daily hours for the Adventure Ocean program will be posted outside of the club area. Hours can also be found in the Royal Caribbean App.

Gratuities

How much are gratuities?

If not already pre-paid in advance, a $16.00 USD gratuity ($18.50 USD 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 amongst 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.

Medical Facility

Where is the Medical Facility located, and what are the operating hours?

If you feel unwell at any point during your time with us, please contact our medical team by dialing 51 on your stateroom phone to make an appointment. The Medical Facility is located on Deck 2. If you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 on any ship phone.

Health & Safety Protocols

Are face masks required?

Onboard face masks are optional for fully vaccinated guests and recommended for unvaccinated children while onboard. Guests under 2 years old don’t need to wear a mask. Please note, some destinations we visit may require masks. These protocols are subject to change.

Smoking Areas

While our ships are designated as non-smoking, we have certain designated areas of the ship where it is allowed. Smoking areas are located on the outer decks (Deck 5 Starboard Side - Deck 14 Port Side). Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom, on any stateroom balcony, or inside any interior public space.

Departure

What is the difference between Self-Assist Early Departure and Regular Departure?

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 SelfAssist 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. After the immigration and custom checks, proceed to the transportation area.

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 the immigration and custom checks, proceed to the transportation area.

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

The earliest time guests may depart is 8:00 am and the latest time is 9:15 am. All guests must leave the ship before the guests joining the next cruise can board. An As You Depart flyer with the exact details will be provided on the last day. For guests who have purchased air, hotel, and cruisetour packages through Royal Caribbean, transfers will be provided.

The last 3 digits of your stateroom number are also on your SeaPass Card. Onboard, use the Way Finders TVs located in each elevator lobby to map your stateroom’s exact location.

Who do I contact if I need anything?

• Stateroom Requests: please reach out to your stateroom attendant

Internet

How can I purchase internet?

Purchase Internet packages from your device! Simply connect to the shipboard Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi-Guest-Ovation) and open your web browser to view available packages for your sailing.

Trouble connecting? Try these steps:

1. Ensure your device is in AIRPLANE MODE

2. Turn your Wi-Fi ON and connect to “WiFi-Guest-Ovation”

3. On the pop up, click “Access Internet,” or type login.com in your web browser.

For additional assistance, visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone.

I have a pre-paid internet package. How do I activate it?

To activate your pre-paid package, connect to the shipboard network (Wi-Fi-GuestOvation), open up your internet browser, and register. After tapping “Next,” you’ll see a coupon for the package you purchased displaying a cost of $0.00.

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, and a map of Perfect Day at CocoCay! 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-Ovation), 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:

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

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

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

Account

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or 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 4. 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 or 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 4. 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 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. 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 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 or on your stateroom TV. 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 Arcade Attendant 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.

How can I update my dinner seating?

Please visit the Main Dining Room on Decks 3 & 5 to make changes to your seating.

Is Room Service available?

Yes! 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 3415 from your stateroom phone.

Beverages

Where can I purchase a beverage package?

Beverage packages can be purchased or upgraded at any bar on the ship. Please note, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverage package purchases.

I pre-purchased a beverage package. Where can I get my soda cup?

A soda cup for your pre-purchased beverage package can be collected at any bar onboard.

I have pre-purchased a coffee card. Where I can get my card?

To pick up your coffee card, stop by Café Promenade on Deck 4.

Shore Excursions

How do I book Shore Excursions?

Shore excursions can be booked through the Royal App on your mobile device, through the kiosks in front of the Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5, or directly with our Shore Excursions Team. For more information or assistance, feel free to chat with our team at their desk.

When will I receive my shore excursions tickets?

What are the hours for the Adventure Ocean program?

Daily hours for the Adventure Ocean program will be posted outside of the club area. Hours can also be found in the Royal Caribbean App.

Gratuities

How much are gratuities?

If not already pre-paid in advance, a $16.00 USD gratuity ($18.50 USD 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 amongst 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.

Medical Facility

Where is the Medical Facility located, and what are the operating hours?

If you feel unwell at any point during your time with us, please contact our medical team by dialing 51 on your stateroom phone to make an appointment. The Medical Facility is located on Deck 2. If you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 on any ship phone.

Health & Safety Protocols

Are face masks required?

Onboard face masks are optional for fully vaccinated guests and recommended for unvaccinated children while onboard. Guests under 2 years old don’t need to wear a mask. Please note, some destinations we visit may require masks. These protocols are subject to change.

Smoking Areas

While our ships are designated as non-smoking, we have certain designated areas of the ship where it is allowed. Smoking areas are located on the outer decks (Deck 5 Starboard Side - Deck 14 Port Side). Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom, on any stateroom balcony, or inside any interior public space.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR TODAY

Local Agriculture Regulations

To protect the biodiversity of the beautiful ports-of-call we visit in New Caledonia, there are strict agricultural regulations. No food plants, flowers are allowed to be taken off the ship. The local authorities may conduct random inspections and could have K9 (with dogs) teams at the gangway for the same. Guests could face a fine if any of these items are found on their person.

Going Ashore

Shuttle busses are required to exit the port area. Busses will be operating all day from when we arrive. At peak times there may be a wait for the busses. Please ensure that all your party meet on the ship to go ashore as there is no waiting on the pier.

Please Use Your Stateroom Safe

Remember keep your valuables safe and secure by using the safe provided in your stateroom. Follow the instructions posted in the safe for your convenience.

Your stateroom number is listed in the Royal App (tap on the person icon) or on your Set Sail pass available at the bottom of the home screen. The last 3 digits of your stateroom number are also on your SeaPass Card. Onboard, use the Way Finders TVs located in each elevator lobby to map your stateroom’s exact location.

Who do I contact if I need anything?

• Stateroom Requests: please reach out to your stateroom attendant

• Shore Excursions: visit our Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5

Internet

How can I purchase internet?

Purchase Internet packages from your device! Simply connect to the shipboard Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi-Guest-Ovation) and open your web browser to view available packages for your sailing.

Trouble connecting? Try these steps:

1. Ensure your device is in AIRPLANE MODE

2. Turn your Wi-Fi ON and connect to “WiFi-Guest-Ovation”

3. On the pop up, click “Access Internet,” or type login.com in your web browser.

For additional assistance, visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone.

I have a pre-paid internet package. How do I activate it?

To activate your pre-paid package, connect to the shipboard network (Wi-Fi-GuestOvation), open up your internet browser, and register. After tapping “Next,” you’ll see a coupon for the package you purchased displaying a cost of $0.00.

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, and a map of Perfect Day at CocoCay! 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-Ovation), 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:

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

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

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

Account

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or 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 4. 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 or 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 4. 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 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. 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 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 or on your stateroom TV. 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 Arcade Attendant 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.

How can I update my dinner seating?

Please visit the Main Dining Room on Decks 3 & 5 to make changes to your seating.

Yes! 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.

Beverages

Where can I purchase a beverage package?

Beverage packages can be purchased or upgraded at any bar on the ship. Please note, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverage package purchases.

I pre-purchased a beverage package. Where can I get my soda cup?

A soda cup for your pre-purchased beverage package can be collected at any bar onboard.

I have pre-purchased a coffee card. Where I can get my card?

To pick up your coffee card, stop by Café Promenade on Deck 4.

Shore Excursions

How do I book Shore Excursions?

Shore excursions can be booked through the Royal App on your mobile device, through the kiosks in front of the Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5, or directly with our Shore Excursions Team. For more information or assistance, feel free to chat with our team at their desk.

Gratuities

How much are gratuities?

If not already pre-paid in advance, a $16.00 USD gratuity ($18.50 USD 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 amongst 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.

Health & Safety Protocols

Smoking Areas

While our ships are designated as non-smoking, we have certain designated areas of the ship where it is allowed. Smoking areas are located on the outer decks (Deck 5 Starboard Side - Deck 14 Port Side).

Staterooms

Where can I find my stateroom number?

Your stateroom number is listed in the Royal App (tap on the person icon) or on your Set Sail pass available at the bottom of the home screen. The last 3 digits of your stateroom number are also on your SeaPass Card. Onboard, use the Way Finders TVs located in each elevator lobby to map your stateroom’s exact location.

Who do I contact if I need anything?

• Stateroom Requests: please reach out to your stateroom attendant

• Shore Excursions: visit our Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5

• Dining: please contact the venue or visit the Maitre’D outside the Main Dining room on Decks 3 & 4.

Internet

How can I purchase internet?

Purchase Internet packages from your device! Simply connect to the shipboard Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi-Guest-Ovation) and open your web browser to view available packages for your sailing.

Trouble connecting? Try these steps:

1. Ensure your device is in AIRPLANE MODE

2. Turn your Wi-Fi ON and connect to “WiFi-Guest-Ovation”

3. On the pop up, click “Access Internet,” or type login.com in your web browser.

For additional assistance, visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone.

I have a pre-paid internet package. How do I activate it?

To activate your pre-paid package, connect to the shipboard network (Wi-Fi-GuestOvation), open up your internet browser, and register. After tapping “Next,” you’ll see a coupon for the package you purchased displaying a cost of $0.00.

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, and a map of Perfect Day at CocoCay! 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-Ovation), 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:

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

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

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

Account

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or 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 4. 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 or 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 4. 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 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. 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 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 or on your stateroom TV. 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 Arcade Attendant 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.

How can I update my dinner seating?

Please visit the Main Dining Room on Decks 3 & 5 to make changes to your seating.

Is Room Service available?

Yes! 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 3415 from your stateroom phone.

Beverages

Where can I purchase a beverage package?

Beverage packages can be purchased or upgraded at any bar on the ship. Please note, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverage package purchases.

I pre-purchased a beverage package. Where can I get my soda cup?

A soda cup for your pre-purchased beverage package can be collected at any bar onboard.

I have pre-purchased a coffee card. Where I can get my card?

To pick up your coffee card, stop by Café Promenade on Deck 4.

Shore Excursions

How do I book Shore Excursions?

Shore excursions can be booked through the Royal App on your mobile device, through the kiosks in front of the Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5, or directly with our Shore Excursions Team. For more information or assistance, feel free to chat with our team at their desk.

When will I receive my shore excursions tickets?

All shore excursion tickets will be delivered to your stateroom by your stateroom attendant the night prior to each port.

Gratuities

How much are gratuities?

If not already pre-paid in advance, a $16.00 USD gratuity ($18.50 USD 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 amongst 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.

Medical Facility

Where is the Medical Facility located, and what are the operating hours?

If you feel unwell at any point during your time with us, please contact our medical team by dialing 51 on your stateroom phone to make an appointment. The Medical Facility is located on Deck 2. If you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 on any ship phone.

Health & Safety Protocols

Are face masks required?

Onboard face masks are optional for fully vaccinated guests and recommended for unvaccinated children while onboard. Guests under 2 years old don’t need to wear a mask. Please note, some destinations we visit may require masks. These protocols are subject to change.

Smoking Areas

While our ships are designated as non-smoking, we have certain designated areas of the ship where it is allowed. Smoking areas are located on the outer decks (Deck 5 Starboard Side - Deck 14 Port Side). Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom, on any stateroom balcony, or inside any interior public space.

Departure

What is the difference between Self-Assist Early Departure and Regular Departure?

SELF-ASSIST EARLY DEPARTURE

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

An As You Depart flyer with the exact details will be provided on the last day. For guests who have purchased air, hotel, and cruisetour packages through Royal Caribbean, transfers will be provided.

Internet

How can I purchase internet?

Purchase Internet packages from your device! Simply connect to the shipboard Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi-Guest-Ovation) and open your web browser to view available packages for your sailing.

Trouble connecting? Try these steps:

1. Ensure your device is in AIRPLANE MODE

2. Turn your Wi-Fi ON and connect to “WiFi-Guest-Ovation”

3. On the pop up, click “Access Internet,” or type login.com in your web browser.

For additional assistance, visit our VOOM Internet Service Desk on Deck 4 or dial 0 on your stateroom phone.

I have a pre-paid internet package. How do I activate it?

To activate your pre-paid package, connect to the shipboard network (Wi-Fi-GuestOvation), open up your internet browser, and register. After tapping “Next,” you’ll see a coupon for the package you purchased displaying a cost of $0.00.

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, and a map of Perfect Day at CocoCay! 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-Ovation), 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:

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

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

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

Account

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or 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 4. 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 or 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 4. 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 to do this.

How can I track my onboard spending?

All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App or on your Stateroom TV. 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 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 or on your stateroom TV. 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 Arcade Attendant 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.

A soda cup for your pre-purchased beverage package can be collected at any bar onboard.

This gratuity is shared amongst 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.

If you feel unwell at any point during your time with us, please contact our medical team by dialing 51 on your stateroom phone to make an appointment. The Medical Facility is located on Deck 2. If you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 on any ship phone.

Health & Safety Protocols

Onboard face masks are optional for fully vaccinated guests and recommended for unvaccinated children while onboard. Guests under 2 years old don’t need to wear a mask. Please note, some destinations we visit may require masks. These protocols are subject to change.

Smoking Areas

While our ships are designated as non-smoking, we have certain designated areas of the ship where it is allowed. Smoking areas are located on the outer decks (Deck 5 Starboard Side - Deck 14 Port Side). Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom, on any stateroom balcony, or inside any interior public space.
