Here are 4️⃣ reasons to submit a special needs form prior to sailing: ✨ Breastmilk storage to request a mini-fridge in your stateroom. If you’re traveling with frozen breastmilk, you can rent a freezer through Royal Caribbean or try to keep it frozen with dry ice in a cooler. ✨ If you are formula feeding and need to bring extra bottled water onto the ship. ✨ Any special needs that Adventure Ocean should be made aware of for your child (Learning Disability, ASD, ADHD, Downs Syndrome etc.) - for example a 3 year old must be potty trained in order to go to the Aquanauts room but if there is a medical reason why they are not potty trained, then they can make accommodations.✨ Dietary requests - food allergies such as dairy, nuts or gluten.Complete a guest special needs form at least 30 days prior to sailing if you or your child needany special accommodations during your cruise.The form can be completed at: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/sgp/en/resources/guest-special-needs.🔥 My Complete Royal Caribbean Cruise Guide is a 36 page guide with cruise tips, tricks and family hacks to help you plan your week - 🔗 in bio!

Here are 3 sleeping options when cruising with small kids: 🛌 Pack and play: these are either provided by the ship or you can pack your own. We usually opt to pack our own because some of the ship’s pack and plays are on the more worn side. 🛌 Blow up toddler mattress: easy way to create a bed for your little one on the floor. 🛌 Inflatable bed rails or ask for extra pillows/blankets and roll them to make a bed rail.

One of my favorite spots on port days is on the ship! It can be such a relaxing day with less people around to spend at the pool ☀️ or taking advantage of the spa specials 💅.Follow @RoyalCaribbeanFamilyHacks for more cruise tips ⚓️#royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising
Missing your cruise ship is everyone’s worst nightmare. So what actually happens if you miss the ship? You have 2 options: you can either fly home or travel to the next port to get back on the ship. Unfortunately both options are at your own expense. It’s always a good idea to keep a photo ID or passport with you when you get off the ship. Here are some tips to avoid missing the ship:⏰ Make sure your clocks are on ship time. ⏰ Know your ship’s departure time and leave extra time to get back. ⏰ Choose your excursions wisely, especially if you choose to do an excursion not sponsored through the ship. If you do miss your ship, the first thing to do is find a port agent.

Taking advantage of magnetic walls on cruise ships can be a game changer! Here are 4 ways to use magnets:🧲 Pack magnetic hooks to hang bags, purses, towels and anything else that you might want to hang. I recommend buying hooks that can hold at least 75lbs. You can also consider using different color magnetic hooks for each person in your stateroom (so you don’t mix up towels)!🧲 Decorate your stateroom door with fun magnets. 🧲 Bring magnetic toys! We love both magna-tiles and clixo. 🧲 If traveling with a little one, use to hang black out curtains around a pack and play or toddler bed.Follow @RoyalCaribbeanFamilyHacks for more cruise tips ⚓️#royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising

Bringing extra pool toys is an easy way for your kids to make friends with other kids! Here are 5 more pool tips: 🏊♀️ Pools, hot tubs and water slides are open when you board the ship, so it’s a great spot to hang out after you board! Don’t forget to pack swim items in a carry on bag.🏊♀️ On Sea Days, make sure to get to the pool early if you want to sit in a specific area - chairs can fill up quickly. 🏊♀️Towels are rented out to your sea pass card or WOW band. If they are not turned in, it’s a $25 charge per lost towel.🏊♀️ Kids must be potty trained in order to swim in the pool. Select ships have splash pads for babies in diapers. DM me for a list of ships with splash pads. 🏊♀️The Solarium Pool is adult only (16+). This can be a nice area to visit while your kids are at Adventure Ocean :).

Yes, it does sometimes snow ❄️ on cruise ships! This is a Caribbean cruise that departed from Cape Liberty in the winter time. At least it was headed somewhere warm ☀️. #royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising
⚓️ Download the Royal Caribbean app: you will want to have the app downloaded before you sail. ⚓️Plan your Cruise! You can start planning your cruise through Cruise Planner on the website or on the Royal Caribbean app. ⚓️Join your cruise facebook group: Each sailing has its own facebook group, which is a great way to connect with other guests!⚓️Pack for your cruise! Link in bio for a complete packing checklist for both adults and kids. ⚓️Check-in: Check-in is available up to 72 hours prior to your sailing. The app will have you upload a front-facing photo of yourself, your passport information, credit card information, and your vaccine data. Each of your family members will need to check in. Once you do all of this, you’ll be able to choose your port arrival time.⚓️Luggage Tags: Your luggage tags and instructions are included in The Royal Guest eDocs. They are ship specific and include your sailing date, stateroom and deck number.

Port days can feel so overwhelming sometimes, especially if you’re trying to see as much as possible before departure! Here are a couple of pointers for port days: 🛳️ Book an excursion: Log into your cruise planner or Royal Caribbean app to see what shore excursions are available! Excursions can be booked far in advance and can be modified or cancelled up to 48 hours prior to port arrival without penalty (unless it involves a flight, train, or hotel stay). 🛳️ Foreign currency and cash: Many ports will accept US dollars but I would recommend knowing if cash in the foreign currency is needed, depending on which ports your cruise visits. There are limited currency conversion options onboard so it’s best to plan this ahead of time. We always bring cash with us to ports in case we decide to purchase anything or tip. It’s also a good idea to keep your passport with you for international ports. 🛳️ Adventure Ocean: During port days, Adventure Ocean is open the entire time while docked. 🛳️ Getting on and off the ship: The time and location of where to get off the ship is listed in your cruise planner. You will scan your SeaPass card (WOW band cannot be used) when getting off and back on. They do not check bags when getting off the ship but once you board the ship you will need to go through security. You are not able to bring food or liquids back onto the ship. If you purchase alcohol they will store it for you until the last day on the ship. #royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising

We love booking a specialty restaurant as a date night while the kids are at Adventure Ocean ❤️. The food and service are both top notch! Adventure Ocean is usually closed between 5pm and 7pm, which is the window of time when we prefer to dine. But they remain open as long as the ship is docked at a port so we usually book our date night when we are docked so it doesn’t affect the kids’ bedtime. Cost: You can reserve 1 dinner (roughly $35-$100/adult depending on the restaurant and $14.99 for ages 6-12), buy a 3-night dining package (roughly $154.99/adult or $34.99/child pre-cruise pricing*) or unlimited package (roughly $384.99/ adult or $89.99/child pre-cruise pricing*). Specialty dining is free for kids under 5. They do offer kids menus at specialty restaurants. If you purchase a package you are able to make 1 dinner reservation prior to boarding and then the rest must be made once you are on the ship. *Visit Royal Caribbean’s website for package details/restrictions. Pricing can vary based on ship. #royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising #specialtydining
The serenity of the ocean and beautiful sunsets are some of the things that I love most about cruising. There is nothing better than curling up on your balcony as the sun sets ☀️ with a glass of wine 🍷. #royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising
Love a good cup of coffee ☕️. Here are 4 things to know about coffee around the ship: 1. Complementary coffee is offered in the dining rooms, through room service and at the cafe promenade. The rest of the coffee options are an extra charge and vary based on ship. 2. Starbucks is available on Allure, Harmony, Mariner, Navigator, Oasis and Symphony of the Seas. You can use Starbucks gift cards or pre-paid cards to purchase coffee at Starbucks onboard. 3. Royal Caribbean offers a Cafe Select Coffee Card that includes 15 specialty based coffees and is roughly $31/package. This card is not accepted at Starbucks. 4. If you book a suite class room, there is a Lavazza coffee maker in the room. #royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #royalcaribbeaninternational #royalcaribbeancruiseline #cruising #cruiselife #cruisingwithkids #happycruising
