You’re on vacation- relax! Think Jeans, polo shirts, sundresses and blouses. But please keep swimwear to the pool deck. Shorts are welcome for breakfast and lunch.
YOUR HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY
We’re all in this together. Here are some things to keep in mind for the health and safety of everyone onboard.
Wash Up!
• The best way to prevent colds, flu and gastrointestinal illnesses – such as Norovirus – is to wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds after bathroom breaks and before eating.
Hold Steady with Handrails
• Even on the calmest of seas, the ship may shift unexpectedly. Use the handrails located throughout the ship whenever we are sailing.
GOOD TO KNOW
Arcade Charges
• Children’s SeaPass cards can be activated directly at the arcade even if those accounts have been deactivated for charging privileges. Please see the Guest Services staff for further information.
Open Balcony Door? Your AC will Turn Off
• For energy conservation and safety, when your balcony door is open, your stateroom air conditioning will automatically turn off. To turn it back on, simply close and lock your balcony door.
Pump the Jams, Not the Volume
• We know you are excited to blast your vacation playlist, but not everyone has your exquisite taste in music! Please note that personal speakers are not permitted in any public areas and be mindful of the volume in your stateroom.
If you have any additional housekeeping requests, please scan the QR code on the business card your Stateroom Attendant provided to you.

Hold Steady with Handrails
• Even on the calmest of seas, the ship may shift unexpectedly. Use the handrails located throughout the ship whenever we are sailing.
GOOD TO KNOW
Sea Day Notice
• Due to adverse weather and for your safety, we’ll now have a Sea Day. All onboard activities will continue as planned. We’ll provide any updates, as necessary. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Set Up Your Departure Details
• If you have not done so, please ensure you provide your departure information through the Royal Caribbean app latest by noon, Day 9. After this time, we will not be able to accept any submissions.
Pump the Jams, Not the Volume
