Check in

[igmurray]

I havnt sailed with RCI since covid but did do a celebrity earlier this year and noticed the big difference to embarking and check in, so easy on the ship in no time up to cabin to collect seapass card and return when we were ready and room ready. Go to assembly station to complete muster which we started on an app, what an improvement, is Rc similar. Any other big differences

You normally can't get access to your rooms/sea pass card until 1:00.  Before that, you can you the sea pass card on the app or the bartenders will simply ask for your room number.  Once you are in the terminal (waiting to get on the ship) you can go ahead and review all of the muster videos.  I believe you can go to your muster station at around 12:30 and they can mark you as complete.  All a very simple process and sounds similar to Celebrity.

We did the muster drill from our hotel before going to the pier. Once on the ship, we walked to our muster station and they checked us in. Quick and easy. Our rooms weren't available until 1:30.

It's pretty much the same.  You should be aware the time for cabin access may slip to 2PM.

Also, make sure to check in and choose an arrival time either on the website or the app.  That opens up 45 days before sailing. The earliest arrival time slots go quickly.  "Arrival time" is when you will check in at the port to answer the couple of health questions, show your passport and set sail pass and then you can proceed to boarding or the waiting area if they haven't started yet.  Some ports have been real strict with arrival time, others not so much.
