Hello Future Cruisers!!!! As we are approaching a month and a half to cruise day, there are some very important things that you need to be aware of. Below are a few important points to remember. If you have any questions, please reach out to Erika. Can’t wait to vacation with you all!!!!
- Check in opens at 12am this Thursday (Wednesday night). It is imperative that you check in as soon as you can to get an early check in time. The cruise port gets extremely busy after 10am so we want to get there as early as possible. To check in, you should download the Royal Caribbean App. You will need it once you are on the boat anyway. Please have travel documents and Credit card to keep on file ready for check-in
- If you haven’t heard, the World Cup will have games in NJ, and I believe there is a match that day. Consider this when planning your accommodations and transportation to the Port that morning. Check Waze or Google Maps for how long it will take to get there and add about 15-20 min to be safe
- You will find all dress code suggestions on the Itinerary page. The Dress Codes are for Dining, except for the Nautical (Sailor) theme for Embarkation Day. We plan to take a group photo once everyone is checked in, so be prepared.
- Christina is providing everyone with a T-shirt, personalized for the trip, to wear on the first dining night. The shirt will be Navy blue, and she is asking you all to wear white bottoms. You will be provided with the shirt at the cruise port, after check in.
- Keep in mind, one of the main attractions for cruising out of NJ is standing on the pool while the ship crosses under the Verrazano Bridge. It is a very beautiful point of view. This means the pool deck gets very crowded! Once we board, we will agree to a time and location on the pool deck so that we can have our own space.

Check in opens on the app on Thursday June 4th at 12am(Wednesday night). Have your Royal Caribbean App downloaded and ready to go before then. You will need your travel documents to check in. Contact Erika with any questions.
