You should've received an email from Rose Tours with check-in information. Make sure you get this filled out before you set sail. It's similar to checking in for a flight. The cruise line needs some key information to allow you to board, come the day of the cruise.
In case you missed the email, I've included it below. I also want to point out a few things...
The policies seem to be similar to past cruises. I've seen a few of you concerned that the email says that video cameras will not be allowed at events, nor will video be permitted at the concerts. Hopefully you can take comfort in the fact that they say this every year and they don't strictly enforce it. The only time where they are strict about 'no cameras' is at the official meet & greet, for obvious reasons. I imagine they might not allow professional video cameras, but if you're just using your phone or a point-and-shoot camera, I think we'll be fine.
Hey Laura!
Let's get ready to sail away with the Backstreet Boys and spend 4 nights cruising the open waters partying like only BSB fans can.
Before the nonstop fun can start we need to take care of some business. All guests sailing on Royal Caribbean are required to complete an online check in no later than 11:59 pm May 7th, three days prior to sailing. Once the quick and easy Online Check In process is complete you can proceed to print your SetSail Pass and Luggage Tags and book shore excursions and spa appointments (opening soon).
New for this year, you will have the ability to purchase any of Royal Caribbean's beverage packages. You can do this online or onboard. You can find more information here.
** Please note that the cruise itinerary will be sent approximately two weeks prior. **
To begin the Online Check In process click the following link- Royal Caribbean Online Checkin
Check-in online! It's easy. We'll show you how in 4 simple steps. You can also view a tutorial here.
When you check-in online, it saves time. You won't have to fill out any forms at the pier. When you and your party arrive, you'll just need your signed SetSail pass, identification documents, and credit card that you used to register online.
First, gather the following information for all the guests you're checking in:
✔ Ship, sailing date and Royal Caribbean reservation number
✔ Passport or appropriate proof of citizenship and identification
✔ Home address
✔ Emergency contact name with phone number
✔ Travel plans before and after your cruise
✔ Credit card for the Onboard Expense Account

Step 1: Guest Information: In this step, you'll provide the passport or acceptable proof of citizenship and documentation required to travel for all guests you're checking in. You will also need their home address and emergency contact information.
IMPORTANT: The information you enter must be identical to the way it appears on the identification documents you take to the pier. Middle names are not required. Discrepancies may result in delayed or denied boarding.
NOTE: Your name on the reservation must also match your proof of citizenship documents.
Step 2: On-Board Expense Account: Onboard your ship, you will use a cashless system for purchases and services.
You can set up your Onboard Expense Account in advance.
You can link it to your credit card or cash (There is a $300 minimum on cash desposits)
Step 3: Cruise Ticket Contract: In this step, you can certify the Cruise Ticket Contract (CTC) in advance for yourself and others in your stateroom and/or minor passengers (under 18) sailing in another stateroom.
Step 4: Set Sail Pass: In this final step, you can review and print your SetSail Pass and learn more about what to expect at the pier.
TIP: For security purposes, the system will time out after 30 minutes even though there is activity, so make sure you have everything listed above before you begin.
IMPORTANT: You must complete and print your SetSail Pass 3 days prior to your sail date.
If you are having technical issues while checking in please call Royal Caribbean: US or Canada: (800) 256-6649 • Outside the U.S.: (954) 628-9290 for assistance.
Please have proper travel documentation (valid Passport/ any required Visas) and your Boarding pass with you for check-in at the pier.
