Royal Caribbean International

Ahhh...you're at the end of your trip, and you've successfully melted away all your pre-vacation stress. It'd be a shame to lose that feeling before you disembarked, wouldn't it?

So, to further ease your departure process - because we want you to carry that "I'm-still-on-vacation" feeling with you onto dry land - we've significantly enhanced our award-winning Gold Anchor Service fleet-wide. Here's what you can expect on your departure day:

• Extended access to your stateroom, including continued in-stateroom TV entertainment
• An assigned departure lounge based on your number-coded luggage tags, to ensure the ship-wide departure process is efficient and organized
• An "As You Depart" notice to keep you in the loop of our new enhancements, as well as locations of all departure lounges
• Refreshments in all departure lounges
• A dedicated Family Zone stocked with refreshments, toys and games for our younger cruisers
• A minimal amount of ship-wide public announcements to maintain a relaxing atmosphere; we'll try and limit all departure updates to the departure lounges and in-stateroom TV programming
• A hot breakfast in our dining room or café is an option in most ports. If you're in a suite category stateroom, you'll be treated to an exclusive continental breakfast hosted by guest services or the concierge
• An Express Departure option, where you can elect to hand-carry your own luggage and be the first to disembark the ship-as soon as the gangway is opened and cleared by local authorities
• An on-hand Shipboard Staff, ready to answer any questions, ensure your comfort and assist in your smooth departure
