VillainsGin Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I am sailing on Symphony of the Seas (first cruise ever!) and I have officially checked in online . Stalked the countdown timer until it hit the 90 day mark before sailing and checked in. My sail date is Jan 4th, 2020. They only thing I received from the check in was my set sail pass, where they asked me to confirm my documents (used passport book) and my personal information. Aside from that I was not required to do anything else, felt a bit empty or if something was missing. My question is: Where do I get my luggage tags, plane ticket information (booked through RCI), hotel reservation information for the night before embarkation and anything else that is required or needed?

Through the online website will there be a section provided to obtain luggage tag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 You can review your check in any time(up to 3 days out I believe)...luggage tag printing option will be clearly listed there for you to see. No idea about plant tickets or hotels booked through Royal as I haven't done that before. VillainsGin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be in the same place where you checked in online in your Cruise Planner. View boarding pass/Edit check-in should change to eDocs. The luggage tags will be part of that document which includes your cruise ticket terms and conditions (legalese blah, blah, blah) and at the very end are the tags.

I think you take your flight confirmation number directly to the airline to get your flight. I've never used Air2Sea, so I'm not 100% on that. Don't forget that ChoiceAir (Air2Sea) has a price guarantee..I should definitely try to take them up on that if you find a better deal on flights than what they booked you.

PG Cruiser Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 @TJ!, do you have an online account with Royal Caribbean? You should find this on your upcoming cruises VillainsGin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confirmed this recently when I booked through Flights by Celebrity, the equivalent service through the same vendor for sister line Celebrity. My flight is with Icelandair, and after getting the confirmation number I was able to go to the Icelandair site, enter my number, and immediately see the details of my booking. I could even select seats even though the flight is still a good 9 months away. Once you are inside the allowed window to get your boarding pass (usually 24 hours but can vary by airline, so check their site), you should be able to go to their site or simply use their mobile app if they have one, choose the option to get your boarding pass, enter the confirmation number again if you don't have an online account with them that has all this saved, and be good to go.

You need to check back periodically. I assume you are registered in Crown and Anchor Society?! When you log in, you'll be able to check for e-docs. You can print your luggage tags and other pages you feel you need. (Tags tend to be at the very back of the e-docs.) In the meantime, keep checking the prices of any excursions or packages you have booked in case the price has dropped. What I do about this time in the cycle is read old Cruise Compasses to plan my on-board schedule...... VillainsGin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillainsGin Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 You have all been amazing! Thank you so much for providing me details in depth for my very first cruise. I don't know how far I would have gotten without royal caribbean blog! I have been using this site for everything and anything involving royal caribbean and it has never let me down! We've already had a "crazy" idea of booking our next cruise and possibly many more while on our first one haha!

twangster Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 When I have booked Air2Sea I received an email with flight information. If you don't have that give them a call. 800-256-6649 VillainsGin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decide to work with NextCruise on the ship go to their office on the first - third day of the cruise as they will not be busy. If you wait later in the cruise it will get more hectic as the week progresses. On my last cruise I went to NextCruise on the first day with a plan already of what I was looking for and I was the only one in the office. It worked out well and was carefree as can be.

I've googled their next cruise feature and it states you can even go through your personal TA so they get credit for it. Would I contact my TA or let my TA take care of my nextcruise? I'm curious to how I would provide them all the information for our next cruise if we do not know our sailing dates or cruise yet until after we've decided with the staff on-board. Would I just let me TA know after we made our deposit and booking and pass over the torch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 If the cruise you're on was booked through your TA, that will show up when you go to NextCruise and request a new booking. Then it's automatically linked up to your TA, nothing for you or them to do beyond them triple-checking that the booking details are correct after they receive them.

I can also add to JLMoran's post a little - If they don't have that data you can provide it to RCI NextCruise desk as your default TA or you can get the information details upon return and give it to your TA and then your TA can take over the cruise from RCI. Either way it's very easy to do. VillainsGin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
