Is the app going to recognize consecutive cruisers?

[Cigar King]

We're on a B3B.  I checked in for the first leg last week.  This morning I checked in for the second leg.

 

I noticed that the app, when checking in for the second leg, lists both the current and previous reservation numbers.  The check in process looked the same otherwise.  I don't think I have seen this before, but I could have missed it.  I'm hoping that Royal is going to streamline the check in process for consecutive cruisers.

 

BTW, I love being able scan the passport.  That's a time saver.

It's simple enough. Don't waste paper printing the leg 2 and 3 boarding passes or luggage tags

[Cigar King]

I'd love it if we could just check in once, and be done with all the legs.  I have heard others don't bother checking in beyond the first leg.  I'm reluctant to do that though.  We're already only printing the luggage tags.  The rest is all online.

Unless you are changing cabins don't need anything.   In US you will walk off ship and back on normally.  Only difference we have seen is couldn't do three questions on app.

It's new.  Just had a client e mail me a few days ago as all 6 of hers were showing.  My guess is that it is a work in progress and they are going to streamline the check in process for consecutive cruisers

[Cigar King]

Mine only shows the first leg on the first, first and second legs on the second, and the third won't let me check in yet so I can see yet.

I never worry about it.  When we go to the meeting on TAD, they already have us checked in.  Just pick up the new sea pass card and march through the procedure.

The only issue  I have seen is the CC may not carry over for the next cruise if you do not go through the check in  for the next cruise.

Just wanted to confirm that you didn’t have to test before your 3 consecutive cruises? 
 

Thanks

Royal Caribbean considers each cruise as an independent cruise. Separate booking number is given to each one whether B2B or B2B2B2B...2B.  

On our last BTB, we had checked in for the second leg.  On turn around day they asked us for our room number and gave us our new keys (Set Sail Pass).  The couple next to us had not done the check in and had to got through all the steps, Credit Card, Pictures, etc. before they received their room key.  

 

So, is it mandatory, no.  Does it save you a few minutes - yes.  None of us doing the B2B were taken to the off ship holding area until everyone had been processed, including the family of four that showed up late.

No tests for us anymore, 

[Cigar King]

No testing...vaccinated.

The only issue that I had was on the app, it didn't clear the first cruise until latter during the first day of the second cruise. It wouldn't let me watch the muster drill information, I had to go to the muster station. They had me watch a person put on the life jacket, then I was good to go.

Remember to do your muster drill check in for each new leg.   Easy enough to do these days.

Any idea how this works in Europe? Rome?

Should be the same.

[Cigar King]

FWIW, and I know you have all been waiting for this, when I checked in for the third leg of my cruise this morning, it listed the booking numbers for all three cruises.  No other noticeable changes...yet.

In Europe you don't have to get off the ship.  There is a meeting where you get your new cards and check in on board.

Even in Europe things are not all the same - it still varies by ship/port.

I am on a b2b on Explorer in 2 weeks (14 nights total).  I have checked in for both legs and hope the process will be seamless.

Not sure of Rome but in Amsterdam we were free to leave the ship as soon as we wanted, as they are not required to zero out the ship.  Had a great day wandering and picking up fresh flowers for our cabin.

I totally agree with this.  I do wish it was like DCL and they save your info.  I can understand the security concern with the passports, but at least save the photo.  It's hard to get a good selfie every darn time!  🤣🤣🤣

I take the most ridiculous picture.  Usually, they retake it.  Once though, it slipped through and a smiled every time I saw it.

OP asked about Rome and in Rome you don't have to get off the ship.  You also don't have to get off in Barcelona, Athens, Amsterdam, Copenhagen etc.
