Royal Caribbean Online Check-In Tutorial

2016-02-17T14:59:00.001-06:00

Hey Guys,
Here's a step-by-step online check-in for Royal Caribbean. Call me for any questions, your booking numbers are on your itineraries that I've sent you when I've posted payments.

Explore the site once you get your cruise added.

This is where you'll book all your shore excursions if you want to book them before you leave. You can add beverage packages and also there are specialty restaurants that you can make reservations for (there is a nominal fee for these since the wait staff is not included in the gratuities you pay and this is their gratuities that is split between all the staff of all the specialty restaurants).

I think it's too early to print your Set Sail cards, I don't think the luggage tags are added yet, but
try it and see. My luggage tags didn't show up to print, just the area where my cabin is going
to be.

Each section should atumatically move you on the next section. If you don't complete it you can

Self-Assist Program / Express Debarkation

2010-05-17T08:00:00.003-05:00

Self-Assist Program / Express Debarkation

The Self Assist Program will permit guests who are capable of carrying off their own luggage and wish to do so, to disembark the ship as the first group. Upon completion of the Self Assist Program, general debarkation will begin.

Presently, we are conducting this program at the following embarkation ports; in the future, other ports may be added with the consent of local authorities.

Note: Ports in blue = only

U.S.

Citizens may participate.

Miami	Port Canaveral	Charleston
Mobile	Galveston	Jacksonville
New York	Tampa	Norfolk
New Orleans	Fort Lauderdale	Honolulu, Hawaii
Long Beach	San Diego

In order to take advantage of the Self Assist Program, guests must meet the following requirements:

Have travel documentation ready to show to Customs Border Protection (CBP) Inspectors at the gangway as they disembark.
Have all their belongings with them and be capable of carrying them off the ship on their own (self assist). Guests must truly be able to handle their luggage, including navigating stairs and escalators as they debark.
Properly filled out Customs Declaration Form, one per family, and family must present themselves together to the CBP Inspectors.
Any money owed for duty on purchases exceeding the duty-free allowance must be paid to the CBP Inspectors onboard prior to debarking.

Embarkation/Debarkation Luggage Information

2010-05-14T08:00:00.005-05:00

Embarkation/Debarkation
Luggage Information

Luggage Information

Guests are encouraged to limit their luggage to two suitcases per guest.
Each suitcase should not weigh more than 50 pounds and not exceed 16"h x 24"w x 30"length. This is printed on the eDoc bags as well.

· If traveling by air, each airline has its own restrictions on the maximum size, weight and the number of suitcases allowed per person.

· In order to offset high fuel costs, some airlines are charging fees for the 2nd suitcase checked; some airlines are charging for the 1st suitcase checked as well.

· The guest is responsible for contacting the airline to learn about the restrictions and policies for that airline.

All checked luggage must be unlocked and have a Carnival luggage tag attached listing the guest's name and stateroom number.
For those guests who wish to carry-on their luggage, it cannot exceed 16"h x 24"w; anything larger must be checked-in with a curbside porter.

Embarkation Baggage Procedures
After arriving at the cruise port, all guests will follow the same procedure with their luggage, whether they arrive by taxi, car or transfer bus.

Luggage tags are included in the guest’s Electronic Documents, through Carnival’s web portal, www.carnival.com/mydocuments. These tags are personalized with the Guest's name, booking number, departure date stateroom number, deck and if applicable, VIP status.
Additional tags can be obtained at curbside from the porter, if necessary.
Guests with a TBA assignment will receive new tags at the pier; the porters will re-tag the luggage according to final stateroom assignment.
Each piece of luggage must be unlocked before turning over to the porters in order to avoid any inconvenience or delay in delivering the luggage to the stateroom. Should a guest choose not to unlock their bags and prohibited items are found during screening, the luggage will be retained until the guest can open it in front of security personnel.
Since the delivery of checked luggage may take some time to reach the stateroom, guests may elect to bring their luggage on board if they do not exceed 24"w x 16"h (no restriction on bag length). Carnival assumes no responsibility for carry-on luggage. Note: Luggage larger than 24"W x 16"H must be checked-in with a curbside porter.
Curbside porters are available at the pier to take luggage to the vessel for delivery to the guest's stateroom by shipboard personnel. Guests must first identify their bags to a curbside porter. Customary tip is $1 per bag. Curbside porters are not employees of Carnival; therefore, if the guest experiences any problems, they must report them to porter management on site.
Additionally, we highly recommend that guests personally carry-on any boarding documentation (passports, Visas, I.Ds), valuables, medications and items, which require special handling on/off the ship.

Note: There is limited porter service on 2/3-day Cruises-to-Nowhere.
Coolers: Carnival Cruise Lines does not allow guests to bring large coolers on board its vessels. Small, personal-sized coolers no larger than 12” x 12” x 12” for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage. Screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process and therefore large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage.

Debarkation Baggage Advice

In order to be cleared off the ship shortly after arrival in the homeport, in most of our ports, the guest has the option of participating in our Self-Assist Debark Program if they elect to carry off their own luggage. The guest should first consider the size of the luggage and whether it can safely be maneuvered through stairs, hallways and escalators. See Self Assist Debarkation Program for a complete list of ports.
Alternatively, guests will be given numbered debarkation tags for their luggage. The tag needs to be filled out and attached to the luggage. The guest must place their luggage outside of their stateroom door on the last night of the cruise sometime between 9:30pm to 11:00pm; the luggage will be collected and stored in a holding area. Upon arrival at the port of debarkation, the luggage is unloaded and separated (by zone number) in the baggage claim area of the terminal. The guests must personally locate their luggage and either carry it out or seek the assistance of a porter. The customary tip is $1.00 per bag.

Debarkation Procedures

All guests must have travel documentation and a completed Customs Declaration Form (one per family) to show to Customs Border Protection Inspectors upon disembarking the ship. It is strongly recommended that guests travel with a passport since this will expedite the debarkation process.
In order to “check out” of A-Pass (ship’s security system), each guest will need to present their Sail & Sign card as they leave the ship.

Customs Border Protection Inspection

This is a formal but brief check of luggage and declared merchandise.
Each guest is required to complete a customs declaration form (one form per family) prior to debarking the ship.

Luggage Loss / Damage / Luggage Left at the Pier

If a guest discovers damage to their luggage while on board, they must make a claim at the Onboard Guest Services Desk.
During debarkation, the guest must make a claim in writing with the Debarkation Staff prior to leaving the pier area.
If the guest discovers after returning home that they have mistakenly claimed someone else's luggage or that their luggage is damaged, they must contact Carnival's Guest Care Department at 800 929-6400 (Mon-Fri, 8:30am-5:30pm; Sat, 9:00am-5:00pm).

Left over luggage will be processed by the Guest Logistic Staff and kept at each respective port.
After 30 days, all unclaimed/unidentified luggage(s) will be donated to Goodwill.

Embarkation Terminal Check-In Procedures

2010-05-07T08:00:00.001-05:00

Embarkation Terminal Check-In Procedures

Guests Arriving at the Cruise Terminal by Shuttle

Arrival at the Cruise Terminal

The guest will continue to the Baggage Drop-Off area to hand over their luggage to a Porter; customary tip is $1.00 per bag. However, if the luggage does not exceed 24"w x 16"h (no length restriction.), the guest may elect to bring his/her own bags on board.
Note: We highly recommend our guests to personally carry any boarding documentation (passports, Visas, I.D.), valuables, medications and items requiring special handling on/off the ship.
The guest will proceed into the cruise terminal for Check-In.

Embarkation Process for All Guests

The guest must present his/her FunPass confirmation as they enter the terminal lobby.
The guest will proceed through the Security X-ray checkpoint with his/her carry-on luggage; luggage larger than 24"W x 16"H will not be permitted through the security machines and must be checked with a porter outside the terminal.
The guest will continue to the check-in counters. Those guests who have registered online (Complete status) will be directed to the Fun Pass Lane; all other guests will be directed to the Incomplete Lane. Proof of citizenship and photo ID must be presented at time of check-in, along with forms listed below:

Complete (Fun Pass) Guests:

Incomplete Guests:

§ Sail & Sign Application – for details: Shipboard Knowledge, What About Money, Sail & Sign On Board Account

For guests sailing on all ships (but excluding FA EC SE FS IM), each guest will be issued a Sail & Sign card, which is used to, 1) charge on their Sail & Sign Account, 2) use as a stateroom key, and 3) get on/off the ship.
For guests sailing on the following ships (FA EC SE FS IM), each guest will be issued a Sail & Sign Card and Stateroom Key. The Sail & Sign Card is used to, 1) charge to their Sail & Sign Account, and 2) get on/off the ship.
The guest will have a "Welcome Aboard" photo taken by our Ship's Photo Staff, which will be available for purchase on board the ship.
The guest will continue to the A-Pass Kiosk where we will capture a required security photo.
At this time, the guest will proceed on board for the cruise vacation.

Shore Excursion Quandary...

2010-05-05T18:45:00.001-05:00

The old man and I have been sitting around for two weeks trying to decide which shore excursion to do. I know some were looking for adrenaline pumping types of fun and some were looking for complete R & R. So I'm asking y'all "what shore excursion are you doing on the reunion cruise?".

Please post your shore excursion in the comments section of this post so we can all see what your doing.

Thanks!
Darla

p.s. Be sure to register or log in online to do your Fun Pass (online check-in) and that's where you see the shore excursions. They will be under the Plan Activities tab.

p.p.s.
If you get this post as an email...if you click on the post title, it should take you to the blog to post your comment.

Q & A’s

Q. Why was I asked to unlock my bag before giving it to a porter?

A. In order to maintain a safe and secure environment, Carnival prohibits certain items onboard, i.e., weapons, candles, irons, alcohol, or other dangerous goods. According to our policy, Carnival conducts security scanning of all luggage and if prohibited items are found, they will be removed and stored for safekeeping until the end of the voyage.

Q. Who is going to be looking through my personal belongings?

2010-04-09T08:00:00.002-05:00

I know this will be common sense but someone had to try and bring these things for Carnival to have to put out a list...LOL!!

Data usage for each billing record will be rounded up to the next kilobyte and a cost will be associated with each billing record and rounded to the nearest cent.

Availability, timeliness and reliability of service are subject to radio transmission limitations, caused by system capacity, system repairs and modifications, your equipment, signal strength, weather and other conditions. You will only be able to call and text message to certain countries. Other restrictions and limitations apply for service.

Carnval's FunPass/Pre-Registering for the Cruise

2010-03-19T08:00:00.003-05:00

****Very Important Information****

We will NOT have cruise documents. Carnival has gone paperless so these steps I'm about to give you will get you pre-registered with Carnival and will speed your check in at the pier immensely.

Go to Carnival.com and either log-in if your already registered or register for the first time.

If your registering for the first time, fill out the registration info and the screen will come back with your user ID and password auto-populated in the log in fields and just click the arrow.

At the top of the page is a "My Cruise" tab. Hover your cursor on that and it will have a drop down menu.

Click on "My Reservation (add booking)". The next page will have this....

Click on the "Add your booking number"

and fill in the blanks with your Booking Number (on your invoices that I've sent), The Ship (Ecstasy), The Date (May 20th, 2010), your birthday if it does not auto-populate and that you are assigned to that booking. Click submit.

This is what your home page will look like from now on when you log in.

Hover your cursor on the "My Cruise" tab and click on the "View Cruise Details" to go to the next steps.

Go to the "Pre-Cruise Registration" tab. This is your FunPass. Fill in all required information for both travelers, there are 3 tabs at the top that you'll need to do. First tab is "Provide Guest Information", this is where you'll add your name, address, phone number, emergency contacts and more. The second tab is "Set up Onboard Expense Account" this is where you'll add your credit or debit card that you want to use for onboard purchases. The third tab is "Accept Cruise Contract Ticket" this is where you read the terms and conditions of the cruise lines and accept.

When you finish filling out all the information there should be an option to "Print FunPass". That's all you need to print out and bring with you along with your proof of citizenship or passport and photo ID.

Your first time won't look exactly like this. I've already filled out all our information...

You can now go to the "Plan Activities" tab and look at the Shore Excursions and you can book your Shore Excursions and Spa Appointments before you get on the ship.

I highly recommend getting your shore excursions and spa appointments before going. Our cruise is almost sold out and if you wait until your on the ship some activities and spa appointments will be sold out.

If you want to give me or someone else on the cruise a gift you can go to the "Gift and Services" tab. You'll need the booking number of the person your going to "gift". You can call me for that info.

Your "My Reservations" page will let you know what you've completed and what still needs to be completed or planned.

If you need any technical help with Carnival.com call 888-227-6482 and press #1. I can try to help some, but since I've already filled all my stuff out I can't go back to the beginning and walk you through it. Trust me I tried so I could give you the best step-by-step instructions.

I look forward to seeing everyone in May!!

Sample Drink Prices

2010-03-17T08:00:00.004-05:00

So if your wondering how much drinks are going to cost, here you go. A sample guide of drinks and pricing. This is a guide line only. They do have daily specials and I know in the last time we were on they had a special if you buy a drink in their keepsake plastic glass and re-use that glass you got your drinks 1/2 off. I don't know if they still do that or not. Hopefully they will.

Tipping Guide

2010-03-12T08:00:00.001-06:00

Gratuities / Tips

It is customary to extend gratuities/tips to the shipboard staff for their services. How much to tip is a personal matter and completely up to the guest. However, we do have guidelines in regards to what is appropriate as follows:

Amounts shown below are per guest, per day:

Service	Recipient	Amount
Dining Room	Headwaiter and Waiter	$5.50
Alternate Dining	Waiters/Cooks in Bistro	$1.00
Stateroom	Stateroom Stewards	$3.50
Total Gratuities		$10.00

Amounts shown below are per guest, per cruise duration:

Days	Amount
2	$20
3	$30
4	$40
5	$50
6	$60
7	$70
8	$80
9	$90
10	$100
11	$110
12	$120
13	$130
14	$140
15	$150
16	$160
17	$170
18	$180

Tipping the Dining Room Maitre d' is strictly at the guest's discretion, based upon the service received. An envelope will be available to the guest on the last evening of the cruise for those who wish to extend this gratuity in cash.

Personnel, such as Bar and Room Service Staff may be tipped as service is rendered. 15% of the bill is automatically added to beverage purchases, which the guest may adjust appropriate to the service received.

Tipping applies regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or utilizing room service.

There are two ways of extending gratuities to the shipboard staff as follows:

Reverse Gratuity Program:
For the guest's convenience, we automatically add the recommended gratuities to the guest's on board Sail & Sign Account on embarkation day.

The guest will have the discretion to adjust these gratuities based upon the level of service received during the cruise. This includes the option to adjust gratuities (up or down) for any individual on the Dining or Housekeeping staff. In order to do so, the guest will need to contact the Guest Services Desk in person.

Note: For Cruises-to-Nowhere, gratuities of $10 per guest, per day, must be prepaid upon making a reservation.
Note: Guests under two years of age are not required to extend gratuities.

Prepaid Gratuity Program:

Gratuities are pre-arranged and paid at the time of booking or anytime up to two weeks prior to the sail date. Once the booking has been ticketed, the prepaid gratuities cannot be removed from the booking.
All guests on each booking must prepay the gratuities with the exception of children under two years of age.
The guest will have the option to adjust the gratuities (up or down) based upon the level of service received during the cruise.
The dollar amount for gratuities will appear in the Miscellaneous Charge field on the booking. The guest copy of the cruise ticket will indicate if gratuities have been prepaid.

Dining Options

2010-03-09T08:00:00.008-06:00

I have us set up for "Late" dining. Please let me know if you would like to change this to "Early" or "Your Time" dining.

Your Choice Dining provides a selection of three different dinner seating options. In addition to Early and Late assigned seating, Carnival is rolling out “Your Time” open seating to accommodate individual guest preferences. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free.

At time of booking, guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is not available, they may confirm an alternate time and be waitlisted for their preferred choice. Waitlists will be cleared prior to the sailing and guests will be notified by email. Parties traveling together who are waitlisted will be cleared on the same dining time.

Lunch and dinner are also available bistro-style on the Lido Deck. Spirit-class, Conquest-class, Carnival Splendor, Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic have the added convenience of a reservations-recommended steakhouse (nominal $30 fee per person will apply).

For those guests who choose Early or Late dining, the assigned dining room and table number will be printed on the Guests’ Sail & Sign card which they receive when they check-in on embarkation day.

Dining times are subject to change due to conflict of time with port stays or other scheduled activities. Accurate times are listed in the daily "Carnival Capers".

BREAKFAST AND LUNCH

For breakfast and lunch, the main dining rooms are organized as "open seating". During the specific hours the dining rooms are open for service, the guests may dine at any time. If the guest is assigned to Early or Late dining for dinner, during breakfast and lunch, they are not obligated to sit at their regular assigned table nor with their assigned tablemates.

	Breakfast	Lunch
Port Days	7:00am-9:00am	Closed
At Sea Days	8:00am-10:00am	12:30pm-2:00pm

DINNER

Guests may choose Early dining at 6:00pm, Late dining at 8:15pm or “Your Time” open seating, which is currently offered on select ships but will be rolled out fleet wide by Summer 2010 (see schedule below).

In addition, guests may opt for Casual Bistro Dining in the Lido Deck Restaurant.

Assigned Seating - Early Dining and Late Dining

This dining option offers guests a pre-set dining time for the duration of the cruise as well as the same table assignment each evening in the Main Dining Room. Guests who choose this option will not be able to reserve “Your Time” open seating once on board.

Early Dining / Late Dining
Early Dining	6:00pm
Late Dining	8:15pm

“Your Time” Open Seating Dining
Guests on “Your Time” open seating may dine any time in the Main Dining Room between 5:45pm and 9:30pm and are able to request any table size or waiter. Guests are seated on a first come, first served basis depending on party size. Pagers are provided if a modest wait time is required so guests may relax elsewhere on the ship until their table is ready; in most cases, guests are accommodated within 20 minutes.

Due to the limited number of large tables available, parties greater than 10 guests may need to be accommodated at different tables. It is important to advise accordingly as to manage expectations and avoid disappointment once on board.

“Your Time” open seating is currently available on 12 ships and will be implemented one ship at a time as modifications in dining room table configurations are completed on each ship. The implementation will be completed fleet wide by summer 2010. As “Your Time” dining is implemented on each ship, we will send Travel Agents/direct guests notification via email/fax so we can provide the guests an opportunity to switch to this option or retain their original choice.

Unlimtied Soda Program

2010-03-06T08:00:00.002-06:00

We offer all guests the option to take advantage of the Unlimited Soda Program which provides the guest unlimited soft drinks and juices for the duration of the cruise at a one time purchase price (including 15% service charge). A sticker, to be attached to the guest’s Sail & Sign card can be purchased at the casino bar, lobby bar or pool bar on board the ship.

In all locations where bar beverage service is offered, guests will be served a glass of the soft drink or juice of their choice - one 16 ounce glass will be served at a time and only to the guest whose name appears on the Sail & Sign card. The program cannot be used through room service. Note: The Unlimited Soda Program can be used during the port stop in Half Moon Cay.

Note: The following beverages are available in the Lido Deck Restaurant, 24/7 and are complimentary: Coffee; Hot Tea; Hot Chocolate; Lemonade; Sweet Ice Tea.

What to Wear?

2010-03-04T08:00:00.000-06:00

Daytime Wear
Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies. For men: shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard. Note: The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket or cardigan.

Evening Wear
Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire (one evening on a 2-5 day cruise; two evenings on a 6-day or longer cruise). Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below and pertain to children as well.

For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Seaview Bistro on the Lido Deck is open nightly and has a more relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant.

Dining Room - Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code

“Serenity” offers more than just a comfy hideaway from a stressful world. Two warm, relaxing whirlpools are available for our guest’s enjoyment and a variety of music adds to the ambience of the area. Complete bar service is available from attentive waiters are on hand to help guests with their selections of delightfully icy cocktails and fun, frozen drinks at our normal bar prices. Guests wishing for a snack or casual meal will find the Lido Restaurant is just one deck up and easily accessible.
