5 Top Reasons to Tap Into the App

Make Check-In a Breeze

You’ve booked your cruise from Australia – perhaps sailing from Sydney or Brisbane – and, as amped up as you are about all the adventure that lies in store, you’re not doing cartwheels over check-in. No worries, the Royal Caribbean® App makes check-in a snap, allowing all guests in your party to board more quickly and start their holiday sooner!.

Simply navigate to the Check-In page and input your documentation, contact information and any required Health Questionnaires – which are only available in advance online. You may also select your arrival time at the terminal for your cruise.

One more to-do that is best tackled as part of the check-in process involves the Safety Briefing. Find the Safety icon on the App’s homepage and complete the first steps; when onboard, you’ll be all set to head to your assigned Assembly Station. A word to the wise: the ship cannot sail until all guests complete the Safety Briefing, making this an essential requirement.

Pro Tip: Prior to boarding, familiarise yourself with the ship’s deck maps, accessed by tapping the ship icon near the top of your App’s screen. With these detailed plans you can easily navigate the decks, finding your way around like an insider!

Discover Delicious

Rightfully known for its delectable dining, Royal Caribbean® offers a wildly tempting array of eateries to sample on your cruise from Australia. Like the exquisite multi-course offering at Chef’s Table, the most elevated dining experience on the fleet. Or the mouthwatering Chops Grille℠, an American steakhouse offering succulent hand cut steaks, Maine Lobster, giant prawns and such signature sides as the meltingly delicious gruyere cheese potato croquettes.

With a world of flavours to savour and so many choices – from ooey-gooey on-the-go goodness (think Sorrento’s Pizza!) to inspired sushi and Asian-fusion plates at Izumi Japanese Cuisine – the Royal Caribbean App is a must-have for all self-respecting foodies. It allows you to conveniently browse restaurants, preview their menus, and manage reservations – working up an appetite that will soon be sensationally satisfied! Here’s to navigating palate-pleasing meals with the ever-helpful App!

Pro Tip: Royal Caribbean’s most popular restaurants quickly get booked for dinner so if you haven’t yet made your reservations, consider going for lunch.

Plan to Play

On a Royal Caribbean cruise there is no shortage of exciting activities and events for every family member. Keep your finger pressed on the pulse of onboard play, scrolling through the schedule on your App’s Daily Planner. You’ll find everything from dance classes, art auctions and parades to pool parties, movie nights and live concerts – and a great many other enticing options in between!

The trick to maximising onboard adventures is scoping out the Daily Planner every morning. Why not make it a bond-building way to start your family’s day, pouring through scheduled events as you munch on a lip-smacking breakfast – say from the bountiful Windjammer buffet? Add selected activities to your personal calendar by tapping “Add to Calendar”, which enables you to survey your schedule at a glance. And with a notification issued 30 minutes prior to every added event, you’ll stay on track and won’t miss out!

Pro Tip: If you know what you’re looking for, select a Filter – such as Fitness or Entertainment – to view activities by category.

Lock In Your Adventures

Perhaps nowhere more so than on a cruise, the early bird truly catches the worm! You and your crew have probably been dreaming about some of the amazing experiences available when you sail on your cruise from Sydney or Brisbane. Like North Star®, the Guinness World Record for tallest viewing deck on a cruise ship. This ascending glass capsule gives you Insta-worthy, 360-degree panoramas that will literally take your breath away.

Or maybe the gravity-defying thrills of RipCord® by iFly® have captured your imagination and the whole family wants in on virtual skydiving. Great, but make your reservations as far in advance as possible. Fan-favourite activities fill up quickly and it’s a good practice to reserve when you book your holiday.

Your App is also a handy tool for browsing and reserving shore excursions. Whether you are nature lovers who wish to get close and personal with wildlife, cultural sponges who thirst for local history and folklore, or foodies who fantasise about feasting their way through ports of call, our shore excursions serve up memory making experiences just as you like them.

Pro Tip: Some of the most popular activities, like North Star®, have both complimentary and paid options. If an activity you have your heart set on has no free reservations available, consider springing for the alternative.
