Royal Caribbean’s My Cruises Online Account
You will want to create a My Cruises account online as soon as possible. You will use this account to access the cruise
planner to make plans for your cruise. Once your cruise reservation is confirmed with deposit you can begin
exploring shore excursions for each port and entertainment options on the ship. You can begin making reservations
for all of those awesome activities you discovered as early as 6 months in advance of sailing, though sometimes the
full list of options may not be available until 120 days out. Oasis and Quantum class ships can even pre-book shows
which is strongly recommended!!!

What is “Online Check-In” and What are “e-Docs?”
“Online check-in” is a pre-cruise procedure in which you’ll complete necessary cruise paperwork online: you’ll print a
boarding pass (called “e-docs,”), luggage tags, and a SetSail signature page (for your room key) to save lots of time
when boarding the ship. It’s all done in your My Cruises account after final payment. Online check-in opens 90
days before sailing and must be completed no later than 3 days prior to sailing and if you prefer to use the Royal
Caribbean mobile app you can access your SetSail pass electronically too.
Vacation Protection Insurance
It’s not just cancellation insurance. Today’s plans include insurance for your whole trip: Personal Property, Baggage,
Medical, Emergency Evacuation, and additionally 24-hour Travel Assistance. Of course, it still includes the “Cancel
for Any Reason” feature which is very popular. Most insurance policies do not include coverage while traveling
outside of the US, so Insurance is always recommended. It’s a great way to protect your investment and provides
peace of mind at a low cost! You can add the plan any time before Final Payment. we also offer insurance through a
preferred third-party vendor that might be more affordable or offer benefits that you might prefer, to request a
