What are the tipping guidelines?
Royal Caribbean encourages guests to recognize excellence. The following amounts are suggestions only. Dining room waiters and cabin stewards are typically "tipped" $3.50 per guest per day; assistance waiters, $2.00 per guest per day. For 7-night or longer cruises, "tipping" of head waiters is left to the guest's discretion. Note: A 15% gratuity will be added to all bar and wine checks.

When can I board?
Boarding usually begins at 1 PM. It is the guest's responsibility to arrive on time. Individual ticketed reservations will be held as late as 60 minutes before the vessel's scheduled departure without risk of cancellation. Failure to check in at least 60 minutes in advance will constitute a no-show. our booking will be cancelled and cancellation charges will be assessed.
Note: For security reasons, guests are not allowed to bring visitors
onboard Royal Caribbean vessels in any port.

How and where do I check in?
Simply present your cruise documents to one of the Royal Caribbean receptionists in the cruise terminal. They will issue you a Passenger Cruise Card, which will server as you identification card for boarding and reboarding the ship. It also acts as a SuperCharge Card for the onboard purchases as well as indicating your dining room seating assignment.

Aboard the Ship

What about Dining? And Room Service?
When you make your cruise vacation reservations, tell us whether you'd like to have dinner at 6:15pm (main seating) or 8:30pm (second seating). Your seating time will be noted on your cruise ticket, and your Passenger Cruise Card will indicate your preassigned table number. If preferred dining is not available, you can be put on a wait list. Dining will be cleared closer to the sailing date based on availability. Please note: Seating times may vary by ship and itinerary. We recommend that you reserve main seating if you're traveling with children. For your convenience, complimentary 24-hour Room Service is also available - in addition to breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack service and midnight buffet.

They'll be serving sunrise coffee, breakfast, pool-side lunch, afternoon tea, snacks, cocktails, dinner and a midnight buffet. (Of course, if you somehow manage to get hungry in between, there's always 24-hour room service).

Even if you don't know cilantro from fresh mango zest, you'll be able to taste the standards in each plate of Coq Au Vin, Salad Varsee or Crisp Napoleon. And whether the evening's theme is Italian, French or
American, you'll always find everything to your taste. In fact, it'll be hard to remember that the whole kitchen and all the waiters are not here just for you.

And since we're not your mother (though we will clean your cabin and indulge you all day long), we won't make you feel too guilty about passing up our Strawberry Shortcake or Chocolate Amaretto Torte. We'll just politely point out that it is your favorite, we made it just for you, & everyone knows that calories consumed outside the country don't count.

But if the sea air just gives you a healthy appetite, let us tempt you with our Low-Fat Shipshape and Vegetarian Dishes. From appetizer to dessert, you can indulge yourself and still feel good about wearing that bathing suit tomorrow. In fact, with guilt-free, ShipShape menu choices like Red Snapper Cantonese, Roast Vermont Turkey and Key Lime Pie, everyone
else will probably be sneaking bites off your plate.

What is your smoking policy?
For the comfort of all our guests, designated smoking and nonsmoking areas are available in all lounges. Cigar and pipe smoking is only permitted on the ships' outer decks. Smoking is not permitted at any time in dining areas. All showrooms are nonsmoking during performances.

Entertainment
When you go out on the town in this town, you don't have to worry about parking, taxis or anything else except how to see the show, dance in the lounge and sneak off for a quiet drink all at the same time. We offer our dance floors where the music is hot and the people really get warmed up. Then, if you're still feeling uninhibited, you can
sing in our Karaoke contest. (You'll sound better than you do in the shower - and if you don't, at least no one back home can hear you.) Put together an act for our Passenger Talent Show or a costume for
our Masquerade party or Fabulous 50's night
.
Of course, our elaborate revues and other shows are better left to the professionals. So we recruit professional singers, dancers and comics from some of the best stages on land. Then we go through weeks of rehearsal before the curtain ever goes up.

And when the show is over, the band plays on you can enjoy our musical talents throughout the ship, from the lounges to the dining room to the pool. And with everything from a classical piano player to a calypso band on board, we can harmonize with pretty much any mood you're in.

If that mood is a lucky one, better head to the casino. We'll look for you by the blackjack or roulette tables. That is, if you can tear yourself away from the video poker and slot machines. And if the only kind of chips you're familiar with are the ones that come covered in salsa, we'll even give you lessons.

And what about the Kids?
If you're a kid, then "Adventure Ocean" is just for you. A specially designed program for toilet-trained kids from 3 to 12 and teens from 13 to 17. The "family" vacation will never be the same again because with "Adventure Ocean" parents get a bit of free time to themselves and kids get some time to PARTY!!!! They even get special meals and play areas. No one caters to kids like Royal Caribbean.

How Do I Pay For Onboard Purchases?
For the passenger's convenience use the Supercharge signing system. This system allows you to charge all onboard purchases simply by presenting your validated Passenger Cruise Card which is issued to you upon boarding. Your Supercharge charges will be automatically applied to your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Optima, Diners Club International or Discover card allowing for fast and convenient debarkation. On the last morning of your cruise, an itemized, carefully audited statement of your account will be delivered to your stateroom for verification. Supercharge is used for all purchases on board except those few instances where we require cash such as gratuities (other
than wine and bar service), casino gambling and foreign exchange.

How much money should I bring?

The price of the cruise includes ship accommodations, meals, some beverages and most entertainment. The amount of money needed for items of a personal nature, such as shore excursions, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, photos, gratuities, etc. will be at your discretion.

What about shore excursions?

If you book at least 45 days prior to sailing, you'll receive a complete description of shore excursions along with your cruise documents. Once you're on board, the knowledgeable staff at the shore excursion desk can assist you with planning and any questions you may have. Tours can be arranged and purchased onboard using your SuperCharge Card. Excursions

What do I need to do on the last night of the cruise vacation?

Here's a quick checklist of things you should do on the evening before you return home: *Extend customary gratuities to those who have made your cruise vacation an unforgettable experience.; *Pack your bags and place them outside your stateroom door by midnight. Your cabin steward will give you a colored tag for each piece of luggage. Please put your name and
home address on each tag and remove all loose straps and hooks. Carry fragile and valuable items (such as jewelry, cameras, etc. with you.

How should I prepare for customs?
Detailed Instruction about clearing customs will be provided by the Cruise Director during the debarkation talk on the last day of the cruise. We highly recommend that you attend this important and informative talk.
