When will your Royal Caribbean cabin actually be ready?

When can you get into your stateroom on a Royal Caribbean cruise? In my experience, cabins are usually ready around 1:00 p.m., although the exact time can vary by sailing. On our recent Wonder of the Seas cruise, the hallway doors were closed with a sign showing the time staterooms would open. Royal Caribbean also makes an announcement once cabins are ready. After that, you can head to your room and pick up your SeaPass card outside your stateroom door. We like to board as early as possible and enjoy the ship while we wait, but some cruisers prefer arriving closer to the time cabins open. #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseTips #EmbarkationDay #FirstCruise #CruiseTravel
