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

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 90 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.
 

Please note: Port operating hours vary by location. For example, boarding operations at the Port of Vancouver close at 5:00 PM, regardless of the ship’s scheduled departure time.
