When travelling to your Royal Caribbean cruise you will be transferred to wherever your cruise starts with minimum fuss. A lot of the Caribbean cruises depart from Texas and Florida and so a connecting flight is important for UK customers.
You will be flown over the day before your cruise is due to depart and will be transferred to a hotel for the night. You can then board the cruise at your own pace the day after. The cost of the flights from the UK are included in the price so you do not need to worry about any extra charges.
