custompcsys Posted May 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I've only been on one other RCCL cruise and it was a while ago, so pardon what is probably a dumb, paranoid question. While I don't have a middle name my wife does, and I noticed that her middle name doesn't appear anywhere on the booking for our September cruise on the Allure. I called in to have this corrected, and the representative I spoke with said that middle name information is done at the time you do online check-in, that it wasn't necessary now, and he didn't even have a place to enter it now even if he wanted to. He also said that what needs to match the travel documents is the first and last name - they wouldn't deny anyone boarding for not have a middle name on a booking that was on a passport. The majority of my cruise experience is on Princess who was anal about names matching EXACTLY, including middle names, and took the info right at time of booking. If I can just fill in her middle name at the time I do the online check-in I'm good with that, I just wanted to double check with the experienced RCCL folks here that what I was told was correct. I've gotten bad information from phone reps before. Thanks! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 18, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2019 You will have the opportunity to enter the middle name during online check-in. Also, Royal is just checking that the first and last name match for boarding purposes. They may be asking for the middle name during online check-in for government reporting purposes.

Great thanks! 🙂 Glad the rep gave me the correct info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted May 18, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Matching and missing are different. If you had a different middle name it would not match if it said NMN then you would be fine. Not including it is not the same as not matching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
