### 1. **Luggage Limitation**
Each guest is typically allowed to bring two pieces of luggage, each weighing no more than 50 pounds (22 kg) and not exceeding 29 inches x 16 inches x 14 inches in size.
### 2. **Carry-On Bags**
In addition to checked luggage, passengers are permitted one carry-on bag each, ideally small enough to fit comfortably in your cabin, such as a backpack or handbag.
### 3. **Prohibited Items**
For safety reasons, items like irons, coffee makers, hoverboards, scissors with blades longer than four inches, and illegal drugs are prohibited on board. Always check the latest prohibited items list on Royal Caribbean’s website before packing.
### 4. **Valuables**
It is advisable to carry all valuables, important documents, and medications in your carry-on bag to keep them secure and accessible.
### 5. **Labeling Your Luggage**
Ensure all your bags are labeled with your name and contact information both inside and outside the bags. Royal Caribbean provides specific luggage tags after online check-in, which also indicate your ship’s name and sailing date.
### 6. **Liquids in Carry-On**
Similar to airport security rules, liquids in carry-on bags must be in containers of no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and should be placed in a clear, resealable plastic bag.
### 7. **Alcohol Policy**
Royal Caribbean allows guests to bring up to two bottles of wine or champagne (up to 750ml each) per stateroom onboard at embarkation only. Any additional alcohol must be purchased onboard.
### 8. **Checking In Luggage**
Luggage needs to be checked in at the port where porters will tag it for delivery directly to your stateroom; this process can take until early evening on embarkation day.
### 9. **Packing for the Destination**
Ensure you pack appropriate clothing considering the climate of your destinations – such as warmer layers for Alaskan cruises or lightweight attire for Caribbean cruises.
###10. **Dress Codes**
Pack according to Royal Caribbean’s dress codes which typically include casual wear for daytime and smart casual or formal wear for evenings depending on the cruise itinerary.
###11. **Footwear**
Include suitable footwear for various activities – comfortable shoes for excursions, flip-flops for poolside lounging, and formal shoes if participating in elegant dinners or events onboard.
###12. **Laundry Services**
Since laundry services are available onboard (fees apply), you can pack lighter by planning to do laundry during your cruise.
###13. **Essentials Bag**
Pack an essentials bag with anything you might need access to immediately upon boarding as there may be a wait before accessing your checked luggage – this could include swimwear or a change of clothes if heading straight for pool areas.
###14. **Flammable Items & Weapons**
All weapons including firearms are strictly prohibited along with candles and incense due to fire hazards they pose within cabins; never pack these items in any baggage.
###15 .** Departure Day Procedure **
On departure day ensure all baggage is packed early since collection times start generally from midnight onward depending on departure timing; always double-check that you have all personal belongings collected before disembarking.
Following these guidelines can help ensure that both boarding processes run smoothly without delays caused by security concerns or mislabeled baggage issues while contributing significantly towards making sure yours is an enjoyable voyage aboard Royal Caribbean
