Familiarize Yourself with the Royal Caribbean App

If you're planning a Royal Caribbean cruise, one of the best ways to simplify your trip and get the most out of your experience is by downloading the Royal Caribbean app. This powerful and user-friendly tool puts everything you need right in your pocket, from planning and check-in to onboard activities and dining.

Whether you’re new to cruising or a seasoned cruiser, using the app can make your vacation feel smoother, more connected, and a lot more convenient.

Get Ready Before You Sail

Even before you board the ship, the Royal Caribbean app starts working for you. Once your booking is confirmed, you can:

• Complete mobile check-in

• Upload travel documents

• Select your arrival time at the terminal

• View your cruise itinerary and countdown

• Book shore excursions, beverage packages, or dining

Taking care of these steps ahead of time helps you breeze through embarkation and start enjoying your vacation sooner.

Key Features You’ll Use Onboard

Once you’re on the ship, the app becomes your go-to guide for daily planning and staying organized. Here are some of the features you’ll use most:

• Daily Schedule (Cruise Compass): See a full list of activities, events, shows, and entertainment each day

• Dining & Reservations: Check menus, view restaurant hours, and reserve tables at specialty dining venues

• Shore Excursions: Browse and book tours directly from your phone

• Onboard Account Tracking: Monitor spending, see purchases, and keep tabs on your budget

• Messaging Feature (on select ships): Chat with family or friends onboard (Wi-Fi or package may be required)

• Deck Maps: Navigate the ship with interactive maps so you never get lost

• Health & Safety Info: Access updated health protocols and safety info anytime

No Wi-Fi Package Needed for Core Features

The best part? You don’t need to purchase an internet plan to use the app's core functions. As long as you’re connected to the ship’s internal Wi-Fi (which is free for app use), you can access schedules, make reservations, and check your account without using up any data.

Tips for a Smooth App Experience
