TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
Travelling with children on a Royal Caribbean cruise isn’t much different than packing your suitcases for a family beach holiday abroad; all it needs is just a little more preparation and research beforehand and you’ll be ready for action as soon as you step aboard. The Royal Caribbean App is a helpful tool to use both before and after you sail with its daily agenda including nightly themes, ports of call, etc.
Daytimes are all about casual clothes and shoes, swimwear, and sports gear – whether it’s for ‘days at sea’ for you to enjoy plunging down water slides, laser tag battles, and Adventure Ocean activities or for ‘days in port’ to kit yourself out for sightseeing, thrilling activities on land and sea, or to head to the nearest beach for family time building sandcastles and paddling in the waves.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
If you’re planning to check in large suitcases with the porters on arrival at the terminal, remember that the luggage may not arrive at your stateroom until late afternoon/early evening. It’s always best to pack a small carry-on bag with essentials like your travel documents, a change of clothes, swim wear, any medications you may need, and charging cables.

Jeans, polo shirts, golf or Bermuda shorts, t-shirts, blouses, or sundresses. Smart Casual: Jackets, sports coats, blazers, collared shirts, dresses, skirts, and blouses.

Don’t forget your passport, international adaptors, chargers, sun lotion, sunglasses, a waterproof, and a reusable water bottle; plus long pants and socks for the ice rink and rock climbing wall. Beer, hard liquor, fortified wine, or other alcoholic drinks are forbidden in luggage; but guests of drinking age can bring one sealed 750ml bottle of wine or champagne in their carry-on bag on embarkation day.
