Just be careful to fully read the protocols it changes from region to ports even.
Hope you have a great cruise. 
Just a word of warning to unvaxxed that have not had covid yet.
There is a high risk of catching it on the ship. 
I speak from personal experience having done 2 seven night cruises.
Many people including all those that hadn't yet had covid in my party caught it. 
Just want to add, good or bad, don't expect people to test or even tell Royal that they have it. That's clearly not happening in many cases.

It's very important you only disembark with your own luggage. Royal Caribbean and the port authority tend to frown upon those who also take other's luggage with them home from a cruise.
As a suite member for our last cruise on Enchantment of the Seas which ended today, we were escorted to the main dining room upper floor starboard side and waited with the Pinaccle loyalty members to be the first group off the ship. We disembarked the ship at 8 AM.
At the Baltimore port, they will kindly remind you that the passport book is technically not a legal document until you endorse it with your signature.

Good to know, we finally will be able to cruise again.  Our February 2023 looks like its a go!

I suppose it depends we usually have two pretty full cases with slacks, suit, toiletries but we always go on 7 day cruises with 2-3 days either before or after so need the supplies, we don't want to be walking around with sweat stained t-shirts on day 5 lol
I moved my luggage through the ship once and the carpets make it tough going so I prefer to let someone else do  the heavy lifting after the cruise. 🙂 

My fellow vacationers are lucky I pack even the most basic clothes. If I could stroll on with a garbage bag full of just shorts and t-shirts, I would.

Shark attacks remain extremely rare. The odds of getting fatally attacked by the creature remain less than 1 in 4 million, according to the International Shark Attack File.

If you don't opt-in, you'll be assigned a regular time to debark.  Debarkation time really only refers to when they expect your luggage tag number to be ready for pick up down in the luggage hall off the ship. As self assist, you're not waiting for any luggage to appear in the luggage hall and you're welcome to leave at any point once the ship is cleared for debarking. If you look at a list of departure times, it always has the self-assist in one of the top few time slots, but it doesn't mean you HAVE to leave at that time.
 

Have a great cruise. 

Don't worry it's only 3 questions now and they ask you to confirm them at port, it won't take longer. 

Yea sitting in the terminal waiting to board.

And some retailers will call the police... and sometimes the officers that show up don't know about $2 bills.  
It's quite amazing how some people including law enforcement don't know about $2 bills.

People also do this to get the one deluxe package what they do is they can print a duplicate key for you that just opens the door so the parent that swaps rooms still has account privileges on it.

Congrats. We had to do it for our two european cruises this summer. I always self tested before so kind of knew the result but it's still stressful. 
It didn't matter for the first cruise as anyone in our party of 12 who never had covid caught it on the cruise.

For the 'free diamond drinks' on wonder in the med last week, I would tip discreetly.  A couple of times it was *too* discreetly, as the bar waiter didn't notice and left before I could pass it over... lol
I always tip discreetly though; it seems weird and wrong to be too showy about it.
 

This has been my question as well.  I've only done caribbean cruises and have never seen money OR envelopes pass hands or be left on tables, but keep seeing the posts on giving tips.  That is a lot of discrete tipping happening.  I need to up my game!
