Royal Caribbean Cruises to Alaska, Caribbean, Europe, South America and Panama Canal

Even the most wonderful vacations must eventually come to an end. We will do our best to make the end of your journey as enjoyable as the beginning.

customs

Detailed instructions about clearing customs will be provided by the cruise director during the departing talk on the last day of the cruise. We highly recommend you attend this important and informative talk. Below are some general guidelines to keep in mind as you shop in foreign ports.

U.S. customs clearance
Keep receipts for gifts and purchases: U.S. residents visiting foreign ports for 48 hours or longer have a duty-free allowance of $400, and those 21 years or older may include one liter of liquor.

Guests calling in St. Thomas can return with $1200 in purchases (including not more than $400 in merchandise obtained elsewhere) and five liters of duty-free liquor (only one liter of which may be purchased outside the U.S. Virgin Islands: St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix).

disembarkation

The cruise staff will give you instructions about disembarkation procedures and assist with any special arrangements.

• Bags will be collected from outside your stateroom on the last night on board.
• Make sure bags are properly tagged.
• Keep a carry-on bag with things you'll need on the last night (clothes, medications, toiletries, etc.).
