What is the check-in process like before boarding the ship?

The check-in process for boarding a Royal Caribbean cruise ship is designed to be efficient and streamlined. Upon arrival at the port, guests will be directed to the check-in area where they will present their completed online check-in documents, identification, and credit card for onboard expenses. In order to expedite the process, it is recommended to complete the online check-in prior to arrival. Once checked in, guests will receive their SeaPass card, which serves as their stateroom key, identification, and method of purchasing onboard amenities. After security and immigration procedures, guests will proceed to board the ship. The entire check-in process typically takes around 15-20 minutes, allowing guests to quickly and smoothly embark on their Royal Caribbean cruise adventure.
