When Can I Check Into My Royal Caribbean Cruise?

Royal Caribbean’s cruise check-in window opens closer to your sailing date, allowing guests to check in online 45 days before their cruise. The check-in date is displayed on the Royal Caribbean app and opens at midnight or 5-10 minutes after, depending on the ship’s home port time. Guests can check in online either through the app or website, requiring entering identifying information and scanning their passport or ID.

Online check-in can be completed up to 24 hours prior to the departure date. To ensure a smooth check-in process, it is essential to gather necessary information before starting. Check-in opens 90 days before your cruise and must be completed no later than 3 days prior to sailing. App check-in offers several benefits over web check-in, such as opening exactly 45 days before your cruise, so midnight on the 45th day out. If you are unsure of your exact date, you can check in on the app beginning 45 days in advance and up to the morning of your sailing.

Check-in closes three days prior to sailing on both the mobile app and consumer website. If you are not sure of your exact date, you will need to complete this process at the pier at least two hours prior to the published sailing time. Check-in starts just after midnight Eastern time, and check-in closes three days prior to sailing (not including the sailing date) on both the mobile app and consumer website.

In summary, Royal Caribbean’s cruise check-in window opens closer to your sailing date, with check-in opening at midnight or 5-10 minutes after based on the ship’s home port time.
