When should I do online check-in?
Online check-in opens about 45 days before you sail, and finishing it before embarkation day is one of those boring tasks that pays off immediately. You can check in on the Royal Caribbean app until 8am on sail day, or on the website up to 48 hours before you sail. It confirms your details, sets your arrival window, handles the forms, and gives you a boarding pass so you're not completing everything on your phone in a hot parking garage. Guests who check in early really do move through the port faster, which means more of day one on the ship instead of in line.
