WHAT SHOULD YOU DO 24 HOURS BEFORE BOARDING THE CRUISE?
Here are some things you need to know about those moments just before you hop onboard.
- For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your travel documents, a change of clothes, bathing suit, workout clothes and any medications you may need. That way you don't have to wait for your checked bags to arrive in your stateroom to start having fun.
- If you have never been to the port of departure before, this is the address of Pier 10 where the cruise will depart: 1402 Harborside Drive Galveston, TX 77550.
- If you have not reserved your parking yet, do so as soon as possible (see the information at the top of this page)
- We highly recommend that you take advantage of the online Check-in that is open now and up to 72 hours prior to your sailing. This way, you can have the smoothest pier check-in and boarding.
- Royal Caribbean International requires guests to be checked in no later than 60 minutes, sometimes 90 minutes, prior to the scheduled sailing time. Guests arriving late will not be permitted to sail.
- Download the Royal Caribbean App and log in to your Cruise Planner prior to your sailing to book dining reservations, entertainments on select sailings. This way you can spend your first day onboard exploring.
- Your luggage tags will be included in your Guest Ticket Booklet. Please print as many copies as you need to make sure all your bags have their own luggage tag. This will help us easily identify your bags and have them delivered to your room while you explore the ship.
