Why and when will the DreamWorks Experience no longer be offered on Royal Caribbean ships? Is there a replacement for the program?
- Royal Caribbean is always looking to the future and exploring new ways to exceed our guests’ expectations. We’ve been conducting extensive research to better understand and anticipate what matters most to the families of today — and tomorrow. And in 2019, we’re looking forward to delivering brand new experiences for families, kids and teens. As we shift focus toward these new possibilities, our 9 ships that offer DreamWorks moments will no longer feature the program as of April 2019 sailings. All sailings that depart before this day will have the program for the entire sailing. We’ll continue to offer countless ways for families to make unforgettable memories onboard.
- The DreamWorks ice skating show and DreamWorks AquaTheater show on Allure of the Seas will be replaced with family-friendly shows designed by our award-winning teams at Royal Caribbean Productions. The sail away party and Royal Promenade parade, on select ships, will be replaced with original parties and programming. Our ships will continue to lead in family offerings, like the complimentary Adventure Ocean youth program designed for ages 3-11 in the largest dedicated youth facilities at sea, plus dedicated teen-only spaces, innovations like FlowRider, Perfect Storm water slides, glow-in-the-dark laser tag and Royal Escape Room, plus shows and parties that delight every age. Note that offerings vary by ship; booked guests can explore everything their ship offers.

Travel Documentation

What should I consider when booking a cruise visiting international ports?
- Given the events over the last few years, having the proper travel documents has been a considerable concern of many guests prior to enjoying a carefree vacation. Passport, visa and inoculation regulations may vary by destination and may change from time to time. For your protection, we recommend that your passport expiration date not occur within six (6) months of the sailing termination date. It is the sole responsibility of the guest to obtain and have available when necessary the appropriate valid travel and health documents such as passports, visas, vaccination certificates, etc., that are necessary for air travel, disembarkation at the various ports of call and re-entry into the appropriate country of origin.Visa
  
  Based on nationality, many countries still require an entry visa. It is the guests’ responsibility to identify and to obtain all the necessary visas before commencing their cruise.If your sailing includes a stop in Egypt, a visa is required for many nationalities including US and Canadian citizens, but may not be the only visa required for these sailings based on your nationality.Suggestions on where to obtain visa information:

	o (1) U.S. Citizens can visit the U.S. Department of State Foreign Entry Requirements.
	o (2) Canadian citizens can visit Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada.
	o (3) The Embassies (Consular Service Office) of each country on your sailing itinerary
	o (4) The visa service of your choice, such as CIBT for specific visa requirements, information, forms and fees that apply to your nationality

For Russia
- Note: All guests going ashore (even guests on shore excursions) must provide a photocopy of their passport details (page with picture and personal information) to the Russian Immigration Officials.Guests who purchase any available shore excursion or arrange for an independent car or van organized through Royal Caribbean Cruises in St. Petersburg will not require a visa for Russia. Under such conditions, guests will need to present (a) a valid passport (b) a Royal Caribbean Cruises tour ticket and (c) one photocopy of passport page showing guest picture and personal information to the Russian Immigration officer as they depart the ship.
  However, please note that without a visa, visitation is limited to the period of the excursion and you will not be permitted to leave the ship outside of the tour hours without a Russian Tourist Visa. Guests who wish to sightsee independently or sightsee outside of Royal Caribbean Cruises’ shore excursion hours MUST obtain an individual Russian Tourist Visa before leaving home. Russian Tourist Visas cannot be issued during your cruise. Guests who have not purchased a shipboard organized shore excursion and do not possess a valid Russian tourist Visa will not be permitted ashore in St. Petersburg.Guests with an Individual Tourist Visa must present (a) a valid passport (b) Russian Tourist Visa (c) one photocopy of passport page showing guest picture and personal information and (d) a confirmation letter or voucher from your Russian tour company sponsoring your Russian Tourist Visa to the Russian Immigration Officer as you depart the ship.
Russian Tourist Visa Sponsorship
- Should you wish to obtain an individual Russian Tourist Visa, you will need to be sponsored by a licensed Russian Tour Company. This company will have to create a program and provide a voucher to the guests confirming all the arrangements along with a reference letter which includes a visa reference number. Once a visa has been issued, it needs to reference the same Russian tour provider as the voucher confirmation. A Russia Tourist Visa will not be accepted by the Russian Immigration official as valid without a confirmation voucher for pre-arranged services.Guests should consider the following when selecting a tour provider in St. Petersburg:

	o 1) The tour provider needs to be licensed to operate in Russia and authorized to provide services to foreign visitors.
	o 2) The tour provider must be authorized to issue Russian visa reference numbers.
	o 3) The tour provider should be authorized and have a permit to meet the guest inside the Port of St. Petersburg. If the tour provider is not authorized to enter the port area, you will be advised to meet them at the port entrance, which is located approximately 3 miles from the ship.

The Russian Tourist Visa issued and stamped on your passport will only apply to the referenced tour company, the person named on the visa and for a specific travel date. The sponsor of each tourist visa is legally required to be the provider of services for the guest named on the visa and will have their license revoked if a visa holder is found ashore without a pre-arranged activity.The above requirements are subject to revision at any time without prior notification to the cruise line. Once onboard the ship, adjustment to the current regulations will be provided as we receive them from the Russian officials. Please also be aware that these regulations can also be at the discretion of the individual officers on duty on the day of arrival and may vary at any time.For Papua New Guinea

Other informational resources can be accessed at the Centers for Disease Control Traveler’s Health website.

- Can I join a Royal Caribbean cruise after it starts or leave before it ends?
  - It depends on the specific itinerary of your cruise, your nationality, and various United States and foreign laws. Joining the cruise at one of its ports of call or leaving the cruise prior to its scheduled termination point may be prohibited by law. If you need to join late or leave early, or both, submit your request in advance and we will tell you whether your proposed changes will be permitted. There is a cut-off date for submitting this information, so make you submit your request early. Please note that no refunds, prorated or otherwise, are granted to customers who join their cruise late or leave their cruise early. Certain governments impose fines or other charges when a guest permanently disembarks from a cruise before its final port of call. The guest will be responsible for those charges. Guests who have already booked a flight can book a transfer with Royal Caribbean.
- What happens if I miss my boarding due to travel delays?
  - Guests who miss their cruise due to travel delays can contact the Emergency Travel Team (ETT) to discuss their options going forward. In specific situations, when the guest has the proper documentation, it is possible to join the cruise at the next port of call, but all options must be discussed with ETT.
  - If you miss the departure of your trip due to carrier-caused delays or other covered reasons, Royal Caribbean Travel Protection Program package of benefits reimburses you for additional accommodations, meals and “catch-up” transportation expenses. Otherwise, you are responsible for any expense incurred to meet the ship at its next port of call. For this reason, many guests find it is easiest to arrive a day prior to sailing and stay in a hotel the night before to avoid any possible delays.
- Does Royal Caribbean notify guests of airline schedule changes?
  - When airline partners dvise Royal Caribbean of schedule changes, we will contact guests via the email address provided when the air reservation was confirmed with the updated flight schedule that the airline has provided.

What are partial cruises?
- Partial cruises allow you to enjoy part of your cruise vacation in the event that you are unable to meet the ship in the scheduled boarding port, or would like to end your cruise earlier than the scheduled departure date.Requests for security clearance concerning late boarding or early departure must be submitted in writing to the Guest Flight Operations office for consideration at least one week prior to sail date. Guests must have a confirmed reservation in order to receive clearance. If the reservation was made by a travel agency, the agency must submit the request on travel agency letterhead. Guests with reservations made directly through Royal Caribbean International or royalcaribbean.com can submit their own request. Please include a return fax number or e-mail address.If guests are pre-approved for boarding/departure in an alternate port of call, the ship’s security staff is notified to expect the guests at the designated port. The approved guests are responsible for making all travel arrangements and will incur any additional expenses (for flights, hotels, transfers to the pier, etc.). Prepaid gratuities will be added to all approved reservations for the length of cruise.Restrictions: Certain countries, such as the U.S., Italy and Norway, have cabotage laws affecting passenger movements. These laws restrict foreign flag passenger vessels (such as those operated by Royal Caribbean) from transporting guests from one port to another port in the same country. In the U.S., the cabotage law applicable to the cruise industry is commonly called the Jones Act but is legally titled the Passengers Services Act. A brief summary of this U.S. law follows:If a passenger (as listed on a vessel passenger manifest) embarks in a U.S. port and the vessel calls in a nearby foreign port (such as Ensenada, Grand Cayman and Nassau) and then returns to the U.S., the person must disembark in the same U.S. port. A passenger who embarks and disembarks in two different U.S. ports (such as Los Angeles and San Diego) would result in the carrier (not the violator) being fined. The vessel must call in a distant foreign port before the U.S. embarkation and disembarkation ports can differ. The nearest distant foreign ports are in or off the coast of South America. If either the passenger’s embarkation port or disembarkation port is in a foreign country, then the provisions of this cabotage law do not apply. Nor do they apply in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.Similar passenger movement restrictions exist for cruise vessels calling in Italy and Norway.
What is CruiseFly?
- CruiseFly is a revolutionary new service offered by the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS).

What time do I have to depart a Royal Caribbean cruise ship?

In the absence of a Rabbi booked by Royal Caribbean, the ship will ask for volunteers to conduct the Seder service on the first night of Passover. This function is usually held in the Windjammer.
  - Following the Seder service there will be a Seder Dinner – usually in the Windjammer. There will be a traditional meal prepared including brisket, potatoes, etc. The dining room will have baskets of Matzo available upon request during Passover.
  - Information on the place and time of the Seder service and meal will be printed in the Cruise Compass.
- What are Royal Caribbean WOW bands?
  - In addition to Royal Caribbean’s traditional SeaPass cards, select Royal Caribbean ships* also feature WOW Bands. These ready‑to‑wear, water-resistant wristbands require just one tap, so you can quickly and efficiently navigate the ship.
  - WOW Bands come equipped with RFID chips that enable guests to:
    - Unlock stateroom doors
    - Make purchases at bars, onboard shops, and lounges
    - Login at Royal iQ stations
    - Access lounges (Suite guests and Crown & Anchor members)
  - Guests who wish to use a WOW Band in place of their SeaPass card may purchase one onboard for $4.99**. Guests in Grand Suites and above (Golden Suites & Royal Premiere for Spectrum of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas) will continue to receive the WOW Bands in their staterooms at no charge. WOW Bands are not reusable and are unique to each sailing.
  - For departure and boarding the ship in ports, guests will need a SeaPass card.
  - Wow Bands are only available on Symphony of the Seas®, Harmony of the Seas®, Ovation of the Seas®, Anthem of the Seas®, Quantum of the Seas®, and Spectrum of the Seas®.
  - ** Port taxes will be applied. Purchase price is subject to change without notice.
- Is English the main language spoken onboard?
  - Royal Caribbean International is a global brand with sailings all around the world. The main language spoken onboard is English.

- Accepted offers will earn Crown & Anchor points at the original stateroom category purchased, and not the category of the upgraded stateroom. The terms and conditions of your original cruise booking will remain in effect following the acceptance of an Offer, including Crown & Anchor Terms and Conditions. The best way to earn points quickly is to purchase the upgraded cabin category in your original booking.
Are the RoyalUp upcharges commissionable?
- Yes, based on the commission percent on the booking. At this time, the only exception is for bookings that reserve under a net price code which will not earn commission on the upcharge.
What happens with my RoyalUp upgrade if I cancel my booking?
- Upgrades can’t be cancelled when they have been processed as they are non-refundable unless you cancel your booking. In this case, you will be refunded the money from your RoyalUp upgrade.
