Not yet, but I didn’t think it would make a difference between the app and the website. We will try.

WOW! That’s really stupid of RC. 👎

Nope. They couldn’t do anything really. Just said show up and do it all in person at the pier.

Yes. I did have to check her in myself earliet this year when we went on a cruise together. But yeah, at least I was able to check her in because I was also on the reservation/linked reservation.

It defaults to US, I guess it uses your phone’s location? So for someone under 21 it would not allow them to check in no matter where the sailing is. I don’t know if there is a different Royal app to use in Europe, that’s a good question. Does anyone know? I assumed it was the same app we use here.

We will try that, thank you!

Hello, all. My daughter is going on a Greek Isles cruise with a friend, they are both 20. They ARE allowed to sail and both be under 21 since the cruise departs from Greece. Online check in is now available for their sailing but the app defaults to US so it won't let them check in since they are both under 21. I am not going with them so I can't check them in myself. We called Royal and were told to check in at the pier in person when they arrive. 1. I asked what arrival time should they use since I usually pick mine during online check in, the guy was not too sure he said probably no later than an hour before the last time slot. 2. Their room is guarantee and has not been assigned as of yet. Since they can't check in, they can't get their SetSail pass to do the barcode trick. 3. When dropping off their luggage at the pier, we were told they should give them their reservation number unless they do have their room number by then. 4. If they don't check in online will their cruise documents still be issued? I've never "not" checked in online as soon as I could so I don't really know. Has anyone been in this similar situation?

Can you tell more about Northstar please? I guess this is NOT the extended experience since it’s a port day. Was it free? I was under the impression the “Free” experience on port days is first come first served, but it sounds like you were able to reserve your time? Is this the one that only goes up and down? Have fun!!

I may have missed it, did you need to make reservations at Solarium Bistro? For dinner and otherwise?

Yes, and thats what I feel like I am sitting and waiting for all the cabins to be gone 👎 Update: Just checked and all the balcony rooms (and interior and ocean view) are all sold out for our sailing only suites left. so I guess too late now aready.

Right, once you check in you add your SetSail pass to Apple Wallet and then when you view it in Apple Wallet the barcode actually shows numbers and the last 4 digits after the dash are your “tentative” room number.

March 2024 sailing on Anthem here. Still do not have our balcony guarantee assigned. I was however, able to see the room number using the Apple Wallet “hack”, not too happy with it but I cant call Royal and ask them to switch until it has been officially assigned 😥.

I am not sure how accurate this is but I ran into this schedule while researching the same kinda question https://www.portcanaveral.com/getattachment/Cruise/Cruise-Lines-Schedules/Port-Canaveral-Cruise-Schedule-Dec23-Jul24.pdf.aspx?lang=en-US

I do remember seeing a smaller “waterpark” its for little kids and that was free. Yeah, I just looked it up its called Splashaway Bay and it is complimentary.

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread but we are on Indy in a couple of weeks and I couldn't find any recent reviews. Did they end up replacing Sky Pad with.. anything? Thank you! Enjoy your cruise if you are still there!
