How To Purchase
Beverage Package or A La Carte

Age Restriction
21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Menu Intro
The menu at Bionic Bar® spotlights classics and signature drinks, but you can also design your own cocktail or mocktail and have one of the robotic bartenders whip it up for you.

Pro Tip
While you’re waiting for your cocktail, check the electronic display boards for fun stats about guest orders and a play-by-play of each drink that’s being made.

Vintages

Uncork Adventure & Raise A Glass
Whether it’s malbec, merlot, riesling or pinot grigio, you’re sure to find all your beloved reds or whites at Vintages wine bar. From France to California, the wide world of wine is well-represented through extensive partnerships with top winemakers, including some exclusive bottles you won't find anywhere else.

Menu Highlights
Deciding what to drink at Vintages all depends on your own personal preferences. If you love a great reisling, try a glass of light and fruity Dürnberg from Austria. If sauvignon blanc is more your speed, the menu at Vintages offers several great options from Marlborough, New Zealand. Those looking for something richer and more full-bodied should try Two Hands’ “Gnarly Dudes” shiraz from Barossa Valley, South Africa, or a glass of Cheval des Andes from Mendoza, Argentina — a balanced blend of Malbec grapes and Bordeaux varietals. Celebrating a special occasion or just want to dial up your evening with something bubbly? Choose between delicious prosecco from Veneto, cava from Catalonia, or brut and brut rosé from Champagne.

Pro Tip
Check the menu or ask your bartender about wine specials, offered daily.

Craving something strong, smoky, and decadent? The Smoke and Mirrors spotlights Maker’s Mark bourbon stirred with hickory-smoked syrup and served on the rocks over dry ice with a dash of bitters. And if you have a sweet tooth, go for the High Wired — a unique rendition of the classic apple martini that blends Chivas Rigal 12-year whisky with butterscotch schnapps and apple juice. For those who prefer to skip the spirits, the mocktails at Two70 Bar are just as delicious as their spirited counterparts. Guests love the Polyesian Punch, made with a blend of South Pacific juices and topped with lemon and lime soda.

You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

Pro Tip
Up for something different? Let the bartender know what your favorite spirit is, and ask them to whip you up a surprise.

Boleros

Shake It Like A Caipirinha
Whether you’re stopping by for an after dinner drink or joining the salsa-stepping party, nighttime sizzles at Boleros.

Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine.

Or mix things up with a bubbly Sombrero Cooler, made with silver tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and sparkling wine.

If you don’t want to miss a single beat, check your Cruise Compass for the band’s performance schedule at Boleros.

Like the Errai, which blends Patron Silver tequila and strawberry puree with Domaine Chandon and a sprinkle of black pepper. Or the Lodestar, a refreshing mix of Belvedere pink grapefruit vodka and melon liqueur topped with sparkling wine. If you prefer classic, spirit-forward cocktails, try the Dark N’ Stormy, made in the traditional style with Gosling’s dark rum, fresh lime and ginger beer. Or go for the Manhattan, made by cooling Maker’s Mark bourbon over ice and then pouring it into a vermouth-misted glass. If you like your cocktails on the sweeter, fruitier side, order a Passion in the City. It’s a winning combination of passion fruit puree, Chambord raspberry liqueur, and Belvedere vodka.

If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

When can I check-in for my Royal Caribbean cruise?

PLEASE NOTE: We are hard at work uplifting our cruises for the health and safety of our guests, crew, and the communities in which we operate. We are guided by the recommendations of our Healthy Sail Panel and the requirements of countries where we sail. For guests of scheduled sailings, we will provide clear communication about what you need to know for our cruises in advance of your sail date, including check in dates, health and safety information, app notifications and all of the activities available throughout your cruise. Our cruise check-in window opens closer to your sailing date, which differs from our traditional check-in timeline.

When it’s time to check in, we recommend you use the Royal Caribbean app to check in all guests on your reservation. The app provides a quick and easy check-in process so you can start your vacation sooner. Updates include:

• Your arrival time at the terminal - a scheduled arrival time at the terminal on your sail date
• The required Health Questionnaire – only available in advance in the app
• Our reimagined Safety Briefing - Simply tap the Safety icon on the homepage to launch the Safety Briefing, whether you’re in the terminal or you’ve just stepped onboard, to complete the first steps of the Safety Briefing before heading to your assigned Assembly Station. Remember all guests must complete the Safety Briefing before the ship can sail.
• Extended app check in window - Check in using the app until 8am the morning of your sailing

As before, guests may also check in using our website up to 48 hours before sailing. Guests must complete check in, however, using the app or at the terminal. We highly recommend completing check in using the app for the easiest, fastest, and complete check-in experience.

Royal Caribbean International requires guests to be checked in no later than 60 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time*. Guests arriving late will not be permitted to sail.

When you Check-In at the terminal, show your SetSail Pass in the app to the terminal agent to scan and complete the check-in process.

Where do I find my cruise reservation documents?

If your cruise documents are available, you can access them through your reservation dashboard in your Guest Account. If your documents are not yet available, check back soon. You should also receive an e-mail when your documents are ready.

If you reserve your cruise vacation online, you’ll receive your cruise documents through e-mail with downloading instructions when your documents are ready.

If you reserve your cruise with a Travel Advisor or a Certified Vacation Planner, your cruise documents will be sent to your Travel Advisor 20-50 days prior to sailing, assuming your reservation is finalized and your payments have been made. Group documents and those that include air arrangements require additional steps and will be sent within 30 days of sailing.

Documentation may not be provided in advance for reservations finalized the week of the sailing –  guests will obtain pertinent details at the pier prior to boarding, and once onboard. If you have any questions, please contact your travel advisor or Certified Vacation Planner directly.

How can I get my Royal Caribbean cruise boarding pass (SetSail Pass)?

Successfully completing the check-in process for you and those guests listed on your SetSail Pass will allow you to receive a SetSail Pass.

In order to complete Check-In successfully, you will need the following:

• Personal Information for each guest are checking in
• Identification Document information for each guest you are checking in

  Onward Travel Plans
• Onboard Expense Account Information (i.e credit card and the reservation information that is authorized to charge against the account)

You will also need to establish an Onboard Expense Account via either credit card or cash.

An Onboard Expense Account, also known as your Seapass® onboard account, is the cashless system used for all onboard purchases and services.

The account may be set-up with either a credt card or as a cash account.  You may establish a master account and add guests from your stateroom or another stateroom as authorized purchasers on your account.

For each purchase made onboard the ship you will receive a receipt at the point of sale. A final statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the final morning of your cruise vacation for your review.

Guests that set up a Seapass account with a credit card should verify the statement.  If all purchases are correct, they will automatically be billed to the credit card.

Guests on a cash account will need to settle their statement onboard prior to disembarking.  The ship will provide you with specific details.

How do I setup a Royal Caribbean SeaPass or Onboard Expense Account?

An Onboard Expense Account, also known as your Seapass® onboard account, is the cashless system used for all onboard purchases and services. Depending on your ship, SeaPass cards are handed out at the pier or will be in your stateroom waiting for you.

You are required to add a credit or debit card to complete check-in to establish your onboard expense account. After checking in, you can change your payment method in the app, on Royalcaribbean.com, at the check-in counter on your sail day, or onboard at Guest Services. For Guests who wish to have a cash-backed account, you'll need to complete your check in at the cruise terminal and designate a cash-backed onboard account with the terminal agent. You can add guests from your stateroom or another stateroom as authorized purchasers on your account.

For each purchase made onboard the ship you will receive a receipt. A preliminary statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the last night for your review. A final statement will be e-mailed to you shortly after departing the ship.

If you set up your account with a card, shortly after departing the ship on the last day of your cruise, Royal Caribbean International® will automatically post the final charge to your card on file. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their statement onboard prior to disembarking.

Important Information:

Throughout the cruise, daily authorizations (holds) will be placed on your card to ensure funds are available for your purchases. If you register a card and change to another card or cash during your sailing, you may still see holds on the original card. While the holds aren’t charges, they do reduce your available balance. Most holds are released within 3 to 5 business days, however, depending on your bank this may take up to 30 days. Royal Caribbean International does not control how long the holds remain as the length of time is determined by your financial institution.

Will holds be placed on my credit card when I create an onboard account?

Yes. Just like some land-based hotels, guests can expect to see an initial $99.75 pending charge or authorization on their credit card. This pending amount is used to secure funds for anticipated onboard purchases. Purchases made onboard over the initial $99.75 will generate additional holds. While the holds aren’t charges, they do reduce your available credit. Most holds are released by the time your cruise ends and final charges are settled; however, some may take up to 30 days. Royal Caribbean International® doesn’t control how long the holds remain, your bank or financial institution determines the duration of these holds. If you register a card and change to another card or cash during your sailing, you may still see holds on the original card.

What should I pack for my Royal Caribbean cruise vacation?

Personal Items:
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 to the Caribbean, Mexico or other warm weather destinations, 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.

Last Night of Cruise: 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 nightclothes and toiletries.

How do I get luggage tags?

The Royal guest document (eDocs - electronic document) we issue includes a bag tag specific to the guest ship, sailing date, stateroom and deck number. The bag tag also provides information on how it should be used. In addition, generic bag tags are available at the pier on the day of boarding.

What is the dress code for my cruise?

ONBOARD THE SHIP:
When you’re onboard, the right look will vary by venue. But here are a few types of suggested attire you’ll see, grouped by item.

How much luggage can I bring onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship?

Each guest is permitted to carry a reasonable amount of personal property (including luggage) aboard the vessel; however, for your comfort and convenience, it is recommended that you limit the number of pieces you take. Each guest has the option to carry their luggage on board or check-in luggage prior to boarding. Luggage may include suitcases, trunks, valises, satchels, bags, hangers containing clothing, toiletries and similar items. Here are some recommendations for packing only cruise essentials.

We recommend that guests personally carry any boarding documentation such as passports, visas, citizenship documents and family legal documents plus all medications. To minimize the potential for diversion or loss of medications, we 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. It is also a good idea for guests to pack a small carry-on bag with a change of clothes, and bathing suit. That way they don't have to wait for their checked bags to arrive in their stateroom.

Luggage may be locked only with a TSA approved lock.

Any carry-on luggage must be able to fit through the x-ray screening machines. These machines vary in size from port to port, however generally they are similar to those found at airport security check points. Guests wishing to carry their luggage with them during boarding should note that their stateroom may not be immediately available to store their luggage.

How do I request replacement luggage tags from Royal Caribbean?

If you forgot your luggage tags at home, ship luggage tags are available from our Porters at the pier on the day of boarding but to avoid any day-of-boarding delays we recommend that you secure your Luggage Tags before leaving home if you are a qualified guest.

When can I expect to get my luggage once onboard?

Due to the high volume of luggage on embarkation day, luggage may arrive after the sailaway. A specific time window for delivery as well as pick up* locations will be posted in the Cruise Compass once you are onboard.  Times and location vary by ship and sailing.

* If your luggage was found to have any prohibited items, it will be placed in a separate area for pick up.

Does Royal Caribbean offer Luggage Valet? What are the benefits?

What is Royal Caribbean's smoking policy?

For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, our ships are designated as non-smoking; however, we recognize that some of our guests do smoke. To provide an onboard environment that meets all needs, we’ve designated certain areas of the ship as smoking areas.

Smoking refers to the use of cigarettes, cigars, all types of electronic vaping (such as e-cigarettes, vapes, mods, etc.), and pipe smoking.

• Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, must be properly disposed of, and never be thrown overboard.
• We’ll have visible signage posted in areas where smoking is permitted, and ashtrays that are provided for use.
• Cigar and pipe tobacco are limited to designated outdoor areas and Cigar Bars.
• You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase, possess, or use tobacco on sailings beginning in U.S. ports. For sailings beginning in all other ports, the minimum age is 18 years old.

Where does Royal Caribbean get the foreign exchange rates used onboard?

Royal Caribbean uses daily market rates published by Bloomberg, a reputable, New York-based financial service company.

How do I pay for onboard purchases?

An Onboard Expense Account, also known as your SeaPass® onboard account, is the cashless system used for all onboard purchases and services. SeaPass cards will be in your stateroom waiting for you.

The account may be set-up with either a credit card or as a cash account. You may establish a master account and add guests from your stateroom or another stateroom as authorized purchasers on your account.

For each purchase made onboard the ship you will receive a receipt at the point of sale. Your SeaPass® onboard account can be viewed on your stateroom TV and the Royal Caribbean app. A final statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the final morning of your cruise vacation for your review. Please note all onboard prices are in USD.

Guests that set up a SeaPass account with a credit card should verify the statement. If all purchases are correct, they will automatically be billed to the credit card. Guests may notice pending charges or authorizations on their credit card. Just like some land-based hotels, guests can expect to see an initial $100 pending charge or authorization on their credit card. This pending amount is used to secure funds for anticipated onboard purchases. Purchases made onboard over the initial $100 will generate additional holds. While the holds aren’t charges, they do reduce your available credit. Most holds are released by the time your cruise ends and final charges are settled; however, some may take up to 30 days. Royal Caribbean International® doesn’t control how long the holds remain, your bank or financial institution determines the duration of these holds. If you register a card and change to another card or cash during your sailing, you may still see holds on the original card.

Guests on a cash account will need to settle their statement onboard prior to disembarking. The ship will provide you with specific details.

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.
