What if I need to change the name or any other information of a registered trip participant?
When you register, please ensure that all information is accurate and reflects the exact information on your passport and/or travel documents. Once you have registered online, any subsequent changes may incur a cost to the participant. Please contact Cruise Dreams directly at 1.877.999.4533 if any changes to your reservation are required.
What travel documents should I bring with me to the cruise?
Legal names must be submitted at the time of booking. Please remember that all travel documents must be issued under the same name as stated on your passport or government-issued ID.
You must travel with ONE of the following identifications:
- Passport VALID for at least 6 months beyond the completion date of travel
- Original, notarized government-issued birth certificate with raised seal OR naturalization certificate and a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license)
- State-issued enhanced driver’s license (EDLS) and a certified copy of birth certificate
- Children under the age of 16 must travel with a notarized government-issued birth certificate with raised seal or a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the completion date of travel
Note: If travel plans require international air travel to or from the U.S. & Canada, a valid passport will be required to board the flight, regardless of age or citizenship. Having a passport enables you to fly from a foreign port in the event you miss your scheduled embarkation or if you need to disembark the ship mid-cruise due to an emergency. Travelers who do not possess the proper documentation can be denied boarding ship or entering a country and may be subject to fines. No refunds will be given to travelers that fail to bring proper documentation. Please check the cruise line’s website for more information.
REAL ID
Beginning May 7, 2025, every U.S. state and territory resident will need to present a REAL ID compliant license/ID, or another acceptable form of identification, to board commercial aircraft. The card itself must be REAL ID compliant unless the resident is using an alternative acceptable document such as a passport or state-issued Enhanced Driver’s License.
Note:
- Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDL) issued by Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont are considered acceptable alternatives to REAL ID – compliant cards and will also be accepted for official REAL ID purposes.
- TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling with a companion within the United States. The companion will need acceptable identification.
- At this time a REAL ID compliant license/ID is NOT required to board cruise ships. As always Cruise Dreams recommends that all cruise travelers travel with a valid passport book, in case of unexpected need to fly home from a non-U.S. port.
How long does it take to receive my baggage once onboard the ship?
For the first day of your cruise, we suggest you pack a small carry-on bag with your travel documents, a change of clothes, a bathing suit, workout clothes, and any medications you may need. That way you don't have to wait for your checked bags to arrive in your stateroom.
What is the dress code on board the cruise ship?
When you’re onboard, the right look will vary by venue. But here are a few types of suggested attire you’ll see, grouped by item.
Casual: You’re on vacation – relax! Jeans, polos, sundresses, and blouses are all the right amount of laid-back. Please keep swimwear to the Pool Deck. Shorts are welcomed for breakfast and lunch.
Smart Casual: Think of this as a step up from your typical dinner wear. Dress to impress with collared shirts, dresses, skirts, and blouses, or pantsuits. Jackets, sports coats, and blazers are snazzy and welcomed.
Formal: Make it a night out in your best black-tie look – suits and ties, tuxedos, cocktail dresses, or evening gowns. There will be 2 formal nights during this sailing.
Will my phone work onboard a Royal Caribbean ship?
Royal Caribbean works with most cellphone companies that offer a "cellular at sea" program so that passengers can use their cell phones onboard. However, usage may be subject to data and roaming charges as determined by each service provider. It's best to contact your service provider for more information, including rate details, before your cruise.
Where can I smoke on a Royal Caribbean cruise?
Cigarette, cigar, e-cigarette, and pipe smoking is only permitted in designated outdoor areas. Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom or on any stateroom balcony. Violating this rule will result in a cleaning fee of $250.
Only cigarette smoking is permitted in the onboard casinos, except in areas designated as non-smoking.
What kind of electrical outlets will I find on Royal Caribbean ships?
All Royal Caribbean ships are equipped with standard North American (110V) and European (220/230V) outlets; in addition, Wonder of the Seas has USB outlets in the staterooms.
