What time do I have to depart a Royal Caribbean cruise ship?

On the final morning of a cruise experience in most countries all guests must leave the ship before the guests joining the next cruise can board.

Guests will receive a specific color luggage tag that will correlate to the time they are to debark the ship. Guests should be ready to debark at their assigned time.

• Specific Lounges will be assigned to certain color luggage tags. Guests should make it to their assigned lounge 15 minutes prior to their assigned departure time.
  • "As You Depart" flyer will provide information on which lounge the guest will need to go to based on their luggage tag color.
  • Information will be shown on various TV channels in the stateroom during the morning of departure to remind guests which lounge they should go to.
  • Signage will be available throughout the ship as needed to assist guests on which lounge to go to.

• The Main Dining Room and the Windjammer will be open to serving hot breakfast. Guest are encouraged to go have breakfast and make it to their assigned lounge 15 minutes prior to their assigned departure time.

• Separate waiting areas will be provided for guests with Disabilities, Suite Guests, Diamond & Platinum Members, Luggage Valet Guests, and Consecutive Cruisers (B2B).

For guests who have purchased air, hotel and cruisetour packages through Royal Caribbean, transfers will be provided. If you have made your own air and hotel arrangements, you will be responsible for that transportation to the airport and/or hotel. For cruise-only guests, we offer Royal Connections transfer service.
