Check-in times and what to have ready
During online check-in in the Royal Caribbean app you choose an arrival time and download your SetSail Pass. Arrive at the terminal at that time — not hours early — and the line moves quickly. Print and attach your luggage tags before you leave the hotel or airport, so porters can take bags the moment you step out of the vehicle.
Short Bahamas sailings that call at Perfect Day at CocoCay are popular from Miami, and they fill Terminal A with families. Expect the busiest drop-off lanes on Friday through Monday mornings.

Royal Caribbean offers self-assist walk-off for guests who carry their own bags, usually the first group off. Otherwise you are given a departure time and luggage tags by color or number. Tell us which you have and we stage accordingly.
