@charityky: Replying to @MeresankhJ 📘🛳️ Do you have a passport but your travel companion only has a birth certificate? Here’s the truth about disembarkation lines on Royal Caribbean. Most U.S. travelers don’t realize this until they’re standing in the terminal: 🔹 The “passport line” uses facial recognition tied to your passport photo 🔹 If anyone in your party doesn’t have a passport, you should expect to use the birth-certificate line 🔹 Some ports let the passport holder go through first and meet the child on the other side, but your exit is realistically only as fast as the slowest documentation in your group Birth certificate is fully valid for a closed-loop cruise but it’s not the same experience as the passport lane. If you’re someone who likes a fast, stress-free exit on disembarkation day, that’s your argument for everyone getting a passport. Not because Royal requires it on every sailing, but because it makes the whole process smoother. I’ve also got a downloadable cruise document checklist on my website if you want to make sure you and your family have everything you need.

My wife and myself are going on a RC cruise next year. We are bringing our son and my step daughter her daughter. My wife has my name so my step daughter’s name will not match my wife. We don’t have a passport for her. Is there any additional docs we may need to prove my step daughter is my wife’s daughter? Since names won’t match. Thank you.

Apple has added the capability to add your passport to the wallet app. Makes it convenient for when the paper book is isn't near or lost.

What if I have a passport, my kids have birth certificates, but we are in a royal suite? My first time coming up in a suite, don’t we get a special line to board?
