The morning you are scheduled to leave your Royal Caribbean cruise is always a sad day because we all dread having to say goodbye to the place we have called home for a few nights. So, why not make the best of the hours you have left?
Here are six ways to finish off your Royal Caribbean cruise vacation with a bang!
6. Check your email, voicemail and text messages
If your Royal Caribbean cruise is returning you to your home country, you can now turn your cell phones back on and catch up on any messages you may have missed.
I freely admit checking your messages is hardly the most exciting thing one can do on a Royal Caribbean cruise, but it can be a good way to plan the rest of your day after you leave the ship.
In addition, if any kind of issues have arisen while you were at sea, you can take time now to deal with them while you wait to disembark.
5. Visit the NextCruise office
With your last few hours onboard, be sure to stop by the NextCruise office for one last chance to book another Royal Caribbean cruise to look forward to .
The NextCruise office typically does not take appointments on debarkation day, but they are open for walk-ins.
This is your last opportunity to book another Royal Caribbean cruise, while getting free onboard credit for re-booking onboard.
Remember, nothing gets you over your last Royal Caribbean cruise like your next Royal Caribbean cruise!
4. Use your drink packages one last time
Did you know that your unlimited drink packages still work on the last morning?
Whether you want another soda, coffee or Bloody Mary before you hit the road, your drink packages will work onboard that last morning.
The Windjammer will be your best bet to take advantage of these drink packages, as many of the other bars may be closed in the early morning hours.
3. See the sunrise
Let's face it, you are going to be waking up early to get going, so why not wake up a little bit earlier to see the sunrise?
There is something special about sunrise at sea and even if it is your last day, it can be a fun way to start your morning.
2. Take photos without lots of guests in the way
These days, everyone is looking to take that great photo and show friends and family what their cruise was like.
If you relish a good photo of public areas of the ship, definitely try to take photos on your last morning because many of them will be completely empty.
This can be a great strategy for taking photos around your ship without lots of people you do not know in them!
1. One last meal in the Windjammer
The must-do activity on your last day has to be one last meal in the Windjammer.
Sure there are other places open for breakfast on that last morning, but the Windjammer is that quintessential Royal Caribbean experience.
One last meal here is the perfect send-off so when you leave your Royal Caribbean ship with tears in your eyes, at least your stomach will be full.
