Alcohol Policy 

On embarkation day, each guest of drinking age may bring one (1) sealed 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne. Boxed wine and other containers are prohibited. Wine should be brought onboard via carry on if possible. Luggage containing wine or champagne will not be delivered to the stateroom and guests will need to retrieve their luggage from security once the ship has set sail. Guests may also bring non-alcoholic beverages as carryon items on boarding day. Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom. Milk and distilled water brought on for infant, medical, or dietary use are permitted. Guests who purchase alcohol bottles onboard, in a portof-call, or bring more than the one permitted bottle on boarding day, will have their items safely stored by the ship. These bottles will be returned on the last day onboard for enjoyment once home. For consecutive sailings, guests of drinking age are allowed to bring one (1) 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne for each individual sailing. Additional bottles will be stored by the ship and delivered, one bottle at a time, to the stateroom on the first day of each new voyage. Guests bringing more than one bottle at the start of the first sailing should have documentation for any consecutive sailings available to share with security. Guests may request a corkscrew to use for opening bottles in their stateroom. 21 is the minimum drinking age onboard sailings from the United States, Canada, or the United Arab Emirates. On sailings departing from the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, or New Zealand, it is 18 unless the homeport’s legal drinking age is higher than 18, then the higher age applies. The above ages also apply for possession of alcohol. Visit our Guest Health, Safety, and Conduct Policy for more information on our Alcohol Policy at:. www.RoyalCaribbean.com/guest-terms..

Credit Card Authorizations 

Just like some land-based hotels, guests can expect to see an initial pending charge or authorization, also known as a temporary hold, on their credit card. Temporary holds are placed on every card linked to your SeaPass Account and are used to secure funds for anticipated onboard purchases. Purchases made over the initial $100 will generate additional holds. Most holds are released within days after your cruise. If they aren’t, contact your bank or f inancial institution as they manage the duration of holds. Cruise Compass The Cruise Compass is our daily communication designed to keep you informed of what’s happening all day, every day. You can check out daily activities and events, entertainment shows, and so much more via the Royal Caribbean app on your phone. You can also find a printed copy of the Cruise Compass by the Guest Services area.

Baggage Advice 

Each guest is permitted to carry onboard the vessel or check-in only the wearing apparel and personal effects reasonably necessary for the cruise. We recommend that guests personally carry any boarding documentation (passports, visas, citizenship documents, family legal documents). Bring an overnight bag for your last night at sea. Staff will collect your luggage the night before disembarkation and you will need an overnight bag to carry your night clothes and toiletries 

What to Pack 

We suggest that guests transport all their medications in their carry-on luggage to minimize the potential for diversion or loss of medications and advise that all medications remain in their original, labeled prescription containers. It is also advisable to pack at least three days of extra medication in the event of an unexpected change in the itinerary of the voyage. 

Clothing

When you’re on board, the right look will vary by venue. But here are a few types of suggested attire you’ll see, grouped by occasion. Shoes should be low-heeled for deck activities. Bring a few swimsuits (so you will always have a dry one). Ashore, you’ll need comfortable walking shoes. 

If you’re cruising a warm weather destination, bring a hat for protection from the sun. If your cruise vacation will take you to Alaska, Canada & New England, or Northern Europe, be sure to pack a jacket and several sweaters. 

  • Casual: You’re on vacation – relax! Jeans, shorts, tees, tank tops, polos, sundresses, and blouses are all the right amount of laid back. Please keep swimwear to the Pool Deck. 
  • Smart Casual: Think of this as a step up from your typical dinner wear. Dress to impress with jackets, sports coats, blazers, collared shirts, dresses, skirts and blouses, or pantsuits. 
  • Formal: Make it a night out in your best black-tie look – suits and ties, tuxedos, cocktail dresses, or evening gowns. 

What Not to Pack 

To protect the destinations we visit, we recommend avoiding sunscreens containing: 

  • Petrolatum (aka mineral oil) - takes a long time to biodegrade and is harmful or even fatal to local wildlife. 
  • Titanium Dioxide - does not biodegrade and is harmful to all sea life. 
  • Oxybenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate - are banned from use in some locations, as they cause damage to reef systems.
