I love, love, love how easy check in is now compared to years ago!

Matt, you nailed it! It is so easy to check in if you do just a few things to prepare. I always print out documents like Set Sail Pass and have it inside my passport. I also check in using the app and have as much of it completed before we get to the ship. One more thing which you mentioned that is really important. As soon as you gain access to the ship go directly to your muster station and check in, bam you're done and ready to party! Our last cruise on Explorer from the time we entered the terminal until we completed check-in, boarded and checked-in at our Muster Station was exactly 16 minutes. Thanks for a great video.

We all remember the snail check-in process of yesteryear. A long snake like line do to the individual check-in process. Imagine 4000 people trying to check into a hotel. When you finally got to a customer service person you filled out a health questionnaire, showed your ID, Credit card, set sail.pass then they took each person's picture and then you waited for your sea pass card. Then back into another line to get on the ship. Took hours to get on the ship especially if the coast guard was doing an inspection. Now, 15 minutes and were at the pool bar!!! Awesome🤣🍸

Great Viedo. I'm a seasoned cruiser and a retired travel agent. You hit all the points that a first time cruiser as well as a seasoned cruiser should know. The checkin process is very quick. Easier than the old days.

We recently sailed from Galveston. I watched your videos on boarding day a few months ago. The process was much quicker than I expected. We were onboard the ship within 12 minutes after entering the terminal. Thanks Matt!

Thank you so much for making this video! This will be our first time cruising with Royal Caribbean and I’ve been stressed out about how the check-in process might go for us. Your video has put my mind at ease😊

This was an amazing video for my wife and I, who will be going on our very first cruise ever for our 20th anniversary. We were super nervous but videos like this have helped us feel a little more confident. We did purchase The Key for our Royal Caribbean trip on the Adventure of the Seas, so knowing about those blue signs answered a big question I had. Thank you!

we just got off Monday from Mariner and it was our first cruise since 2017. I was very impressed how they have streamed lined the check in process. it was a full cruise and we did not have to wait to check in. From parking to on the ship maybe 30 minutes.

Just got back from The Harmony of The Seas cruise. It was much easier than it use to be checking in, etc. Little lines for security and it was a nice process, took maybe 30 minutes before we were on the ship.

Hi Matt
I was really stressed about this process, watched this video three times prior to our sailing. I did the online first exactly on the first day it opened. We went thru without any problems. Within the hour we had our muster drill done. Thank you for the walk thru. This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean.

[uneCENT]

Including muster drill information was a nice touch to make this a complete end to end first day process. Thank you!

We appreciated your check in video. At midnight, as soon as check in became active about a minute later, I immediately selected the time. My first available was 11:30am (which I was told is the earliest for this sailing), so I selected it. After completing the rest of the check-in, it wouldn't let me submit (no longer accepting 11:30a), so I had to select 12:00pm and then immediately did the check in for my wife who only had 12:00p available. I called RC and was told that my checkin was actually 11:30a and my wife's 12:00 (apparently all the 11:30a check ins were already filled...that quickly). The RC rep emailed me a confirmation that mine was 11:30a and that my wife could go with me at the same time. So I printed that email. But the website is still showing my check in as noon. I'm glad I called and escalated (the first rep didn't understand).

Going on our first cruise next week and we will definitely make use of what you described on your video. Will keep you posted.
