em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Hello - I'm looking for some info (if anyone knows the answer...) I'm doing a back-2-back cruises this month solo (out of Southampton, UK). I have a 13 yr old that wants to join onboard for the 2nd cruise leg. Assuming Royal are amenable to adding in a 2nd passenger into the booking - I'm wondering what would happen with her boarding (on her own)? Her dad would drop her at the cruise terminal and she'll have all the relevant paperwork (vaccinated, antigen tested etc...) - I would already be onboard in the theatre on turn-around day (and don't want to have a scenario where I get off and check back in as they would need another covid antigen test that I wouldn't have access to in the UK, as its on us to do this now)... If anyone knows how this would work or whether its possible, I would appreciate any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would contact your travel agent or Royal Caribbean. They should be able to answer your question and make sure all sides have the relevant paperwork completed, if this is even allowed. em.down.the.rabbit.hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t you already have your next seapass card for the 2nd cruise? Then you wouldn’t need to go through new cruiser process again, right? Seems you could disembark into the terminal as you are already “checked in” and accompany the teenager onboard. em.down.the.rabbit.hole and Pattycruise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what you should do. Ask for an "in transit" card once you get your SeaPass for the second leg. Then you can disembark and meet your kid and take them through the check-in process. The "in transit" card will show the port workers they don't need to check you in again. em.down.the.rabbit.hole and Zurc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I was in NY when my 19yo daughter came to join me on my 2nd leg. I went to the theater, was processed, given my next set sail pass and then the “in transit” or “checked in” card. I scanned my seapass to exit the ship. Once my daughter came through the security check I gave her the passport, she was checked in and able to continue onboard with me. Ive no idea if the process would be similar for you. Testing for me was onboard for my B2B but I do understand that they’ve done away with the testing for B2B em.down.the.rabbit.hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thanks all for your responses. I have rung Royal and they said my 13 Yr old niece is to go through check-in and boarding solo and would be allowed to do this. But thanks for letting me know about the "in transit" card.
