Royal Caribbean FAQs

Our experts have answered the most common questions we’re asked about Royal Caribbean Cruises.

  • What's Included?

    Like a lot of mass market cruise lines, Royal Caribbean isn’t truly all inclusive. The line operates a base fare, which guests can pay for add-ons should they wish. This helps to keep the line’s entry point lower – and ensures guests don’t end up paying for things they don’t actually want.

    With your standard fare, you’ll get full board dining, accommodation, a full line-up of live entertainment, access to health and fitness facilities and services, and - obviously - top-class service.

  • Do you have to pay gratuities on Royal Caribbean?

    Royal Caribbean gratuities are added automatically at $18.50 per person, per day for most staterooms, rising to $21pp/day for Grand Suites and above, and can be prepaid before you sail. If you’d prefer to pay a different amount, this can be adjusted at Guest Services onboard, it’s simply a personal choice. Bar and spa purchases carry their own separate 20% service charge on top. Full breakdown in our Gratuities Comparison Guide.

  • How much is the Royal Caribbean drinks package?

    Royal Caribbean’s main package is the Deluxe Beverage Package, covering cocktails, spirits, wine, beer and soft drinks up to a value cap of around $14 per drink. Pricing is best quoted as ‘from’ a per-person, per-day rate, since Royal Caribbean adjusts prices frequently depending on sailing and demand. Check current pricing at the time of booking, or see our Cruise Line Drinks Packages Guide for how it compares to other lines.

  • What is the dress code?

    Royal Caribbean has just one or two formal nights per cruise, styled as smart or elegant casual rather than strict black tie, think a shirt and trousers or a dress rather than a tuxedo. The rest of the cruise is casual by day and smart-casual in the evening. Full guidance on what to pack in our Dress Code Guide.

  • Which plug adapter do I need for Royal Caribbean's cabins?

    Per the Royal Caribbean site, all the line’s ships feature North American standard, 110 volts AC and standard European 220/230 volts AC plug outlets.

  • Are there laundry facilities onboard?

    Self-serve laundry facilities aren’t available on Royal Caribbean ships, but they do offer washing, pressing and dry-cleaning services which come at an additional cost. An express laundry service is also available if you need any items to be washed, pressed or dry-cleaned quickly.

  • Can I use my mobile from the ship?

    Yes, you can scroll, text and call to your heart’s content with Royal Caribbean’s cellular at sea service. As long as your phone is set up for international roaming prior to boarding, you should be able to use your phone’s network as usual.

  • What is the cost of Wi-fi onboard?

    Royal Caribbean’s Voom internet has moved to a Starlink-based service sold in multi-day, per-device bundles rather than the old flat per-device day rate. Expect pricing equivalent to roughly $27–34 per device per day for multi-day packages, or around $34.99 for a 24-hour pass, with exact rates varying by ship and sailing. See our Onboard Internet Guide for the latest packages.

  • What are the onboard payment options?

    For guests who prefer to go cashless, you can set up a SeaPass® onboard account credited either using a debit or credit card or cash. This can be used to pay for anything while you’re onboard. Alternatively, it’s possible to settle payments using cash or card.

  • Can I smoke onboard?

    Smoking is only permitted in designated areas which are signposted and have ashtrays provided. Royal Caribbean is smoke free in all indoor areas of the ships, except in a designated area within Casino Royale. This policy aims to keep all guests happy and comfortable throughout their holiday.


  • Who owns Royal Caribbean?

    Royal Caribbean is owned by the Royal Caribbean Group, who are also the full or partial owner of Celebrity Cruises, Silversea Cruises, and TUI Cruises, too.

  • Do Royal Caribbean cruises include flights?

    Yes! We offer flights on select Royal Caribbean cruises. Take a look at our full range of Royal Caribbean Cruise Deals.

  • Does Royal Caribbean sail from Southampton?

    Not a big fan of flying? That won’t be a problem – sailing with Royal Caribbean means you can sail from Southampton and onto your destination with ease if you so wish.

  • Do Royal Caribbean rooms have refrigerators?

    They do indeed! Every interior stateroom includes a fridge or minibar – along with either a Royal king size bed or two twin beds, a private bathroom with shower, vanity area, a TV and telephone and 24-hour room service.

  • Is Coco Cay owned by Royal Caribbean?

    Since 1988, the line has owned Coco Cay - an island located in the Bahamas - for its guests to relax on during trips to the Caribbean. On this exclusive piece of paradise, having the perfect day – and doing it your way – is a cinch whether it’s a thrill or a chill you prefer.

    There are swim-up bars to sip at, the tallest waterslide in North America (which’ll need conquering), white sands to unwind on and even a hot-air balloon which ascends 137 metres over the island! And best of all, it’s all yours to explore while you’re there.

  • Can I bring my own alcohol onboard Royal Caribbean?

    You can bring up to two 750ml bottles of wine or champagne per stateroom, but only in carry-on luggage on boarding day, beer, spirits and fortified wine aren’t permitted at all. Anything outside this allowance is confiscated at security and is not returned, even at the end of the cruise. Full carry-on rules in our Bringing Alcohol on Board Guide.

  • How much is the automatic gratuity on drinks and spa treatments on Royal Caribbean?

    Royal Caribbean adds a 20% service charge to all bar, drinks package and spa purchases, separate from the daily per-person gratuity charged for stateroom and dining service. This applies whether you’re paying as you go or have a drinks package included in your fare. See our Gratuities Comparison Guide for the full breakdown.

  • Do I need a tuxedo for Royal Caribbean’s formal nights?

    No, Royal Caribbean only has one or two formal nights per cruise, and the dress code is smart or elegant casual rather than black tie, so a shirt and trousers, or a dress, is perfectly acceptable. A tuxedo or gown is welcome if you want to dress up, but it isn’t required. See our Dress Code Guide for what to pack.

  • What currency does Royal Caribbean use onboard?

    All Royal Caribbean ships bill onboard purchases in US dollars, regardless of where in the world you’re sailing. This applies to your SeaPass account, drinks, and any shore excursions booked once onboard. See our Cruise Line Currencies Guide for how this compares across other lines.
