REGISTRATION
In order to be confirmed for this program, you must complete the registration form by May 22, 2026. Click the 'Register Here' button at the top of the page. Once your registration form is completed, you will receive a confirmation email (this will be sent to the email that you register with). If you don't receive the confirmation email or have any changes/questions, please contact Evi Schock at eschock@distinctivemeetingsinc.com. 

GUESTS
You are allowed to bring one guest. Guests must be age 21 or older with a valid passport to travel. Your stateroom is double occupancy only.

PASSPORT/TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Passports are required for all cruise guests. Passports must be valid until March 18, 2027, or 6 months after your return travel date. It is highly recommended that you make a color copy of your passport and keep it in your carry-on luggage. During your stay, there will be a safe located in your stateroom where you may keep it upon arrival. This will assist the consulate in expediting your return home in case of a lost passport.

LUGGAGE TAGS
Royal Caribbean issues a bag tag specific to the ship, sailing date, stateroom, and deck number. This tag will be included in your eDocs that are sent to you via email prior to sail. There are also generic bag tags available at the pier on the day of boarding.


CRUISE CHECK-IN
The check-in window opens closer to your sailing date, which differs from a traditional check-in timeline. Royal Caribbean will be sending information via email leading up to the trip. 45 days prior to the trip, you will receive your Booking ID. Once you have your Booking ID, and have received your flight information, download the app and enter your cruise information. There, you can choose your check-in time. Check in for this sailing begins at 10:30am. 
 
Guests may also check-in at the terminal. However, it is highly recommended completing check-in prior to arrival for the easiest and fastest check-in experience. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS
Shore excursions are available to be booked on the app, online or while on board. 


FLIGHT EXTENSIONS/UPGRADES
Any changes once your ticket is booked, upgrades, or costs associated with deviating from group travel dates will be at the traveler's expense. Flight seat upgrades or extensions are non-refundable per the airlines. All payments must be received before any upgrades or extensions will be confirmed. Please indicate any special requests on the registration form.

INCIDENTALS
Upon check-in, you will be asked to present a credit card to cover any incidental charges that may occur during your stay (e.g. laundry, movies, gift shop, etc.). The hotel will put a temporary hold of $99.75 on your card that will eventually be refunded back into your account. They ask that you settle all incidental charges the night before check-out to ensure a quick and efficient check-out process.
