Will the ship wait for guests on a shore excursion?

When you book a shore excursion through Royal Caribbean, we guarantee that if your tour is delayed, the ship will wait for you. In the unlikely event that your tour is significantly delayed, and the ship cannot wait, we will make all the arrangements for you to return to the ship at no expense to you.

The ship will not wait for any guest faring on their own, as it is their responsibility to be onboard before the ship's scheduled departure time.
