Checking in Online:

NOTE: Only one guest can have the check-in page (or Cruise Planner) open at a time for each reservation. If you try to check-in when your cabinmate has the reservation open, you will receive an error message.


We highly recommend to download the Royal Caribbean app and have everyone create a Royal Caribbean account and check-in themselves. This is the easiest way to check-in as each person can take their own photos. You can also display your SetSail passes on your phone through the App instead of having to print it out.
