CruiseMapper provides cruise ship schedules (itinerary timetables, sailing calendars, departure dates, prices), as well as cruise port schedules (ship departures and arrivals by port). These are short links jumping down directly to the topics of cruise tracker (real-time AIS ship location tracking), cruise itinerary information, tendered ports. These engineering wonders take home awards every year for their cutting-edge design, first-of-their-kind attractions, world class dining and accommodations, and unforgettable experiences. From the tallest slide at sea, to culinary concepts that take guests from Japan to Italy to Wonderland, the world’s largest cruise ships are full of adventures guaranteed to wow every kind of explorer. Tracking cruise ships' current positions (location at sea or in port now) has never been that easy thanks to the AIS technology (abbrev from "Automatic Identification System"). This is an automatic system used for tracking cruise ship positions and by vessel tracking services (VTS), locating and identifying cruise ships by AIS data exchange between nearby cruise ships and AIS receiving stations.

NextCruise allows passengers to book a future RCI itinerary while on the ship. In April RCG partnered with IDEMIA (fka Morpho) - Paris-based French company specializing in security and identity solutions. IDEMIA's services will help speed up RCCL passenger disembarkation at select US homeports via the company's MFACE (high-speed 3D facial recognition) technology.

In December RCI ended its partnership with Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc (1978-founded company that manufactures premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet). On 13 RCI ships, the Ben & Jerry's ice cream shops (previously offering the Vermont brand) now offer in-house brand ice cream. There are rumors that RCI may bring back the RFID bracelets (aka WOW bands) fleetwide. They were reintroduced in early 2023 (on all OASIS- and QUANTUM Class boats) at the cost of US$10 per bracelet. WOW bands are still provided complimentary to all passengers occupying Sky Class and Star Class suites.

Know, that weather-related itinerary changes are not reported at Cruise Minus. The following CruiseMapper-generated itinerary map shows the interlinked ports (homeport in green, call ports in white) and the day in which the liner visits each port. Royal Caribbean operated Cuba cruises with the Miami-homeported (later in Tampa) Empress of the Seas. The first Cuban cruise was on April 19, 2017 (5-night Miami to Costa Maya and Havana). From Port Canaveral, the ship operates short breaks to The Bahamas (3- and 4-day roundtrips) visiting Nassau and CocoCay.

On two liners (Liberty OTS and Oasis OTS) was tested the new VIP passenger access program "The Key". RCI's children program (named "Adventure Ocean") covers ages 2-17 and features brand partnerships (with Fisher-Price, Crayola), Family Disco Hour. Dedicated areas and facilities, including toddlers-only pools, computer rooms, video game arcades, separate kids- and teen-only clubs. Also complimentary the company offers to kids and teenagers supervised activities at dedicated facilities and youth counselors on each vessel. The DreamWorks-themed shows at Studio B and AquaTheater were replaced with new Royal Caribbean Productions. All cruises departing before April 1 (2019) had the DreamWorks program available for the entire voyage.
(fall 2025) Starting November 2025, Quantum OTS will be homeported in Los Angeles, joining Navigator OTS. (2025) Independence of the Seas returns to the UK, departing from Southampton and taking passengers to Spain, Portugal, Northern Europe, and Norway. Allure OTS operates 3-4-night short breaks from Port Canaveral/Orlando to Nassau and CocoCay. Odyssey OTS and Voyager OTS are both based in Civitavecchia and visit destinations in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Adriatic. Brilliance OTS operates from Piraeus-Athens Greek Isles voyages until August 2025, when returns to Barcelona and Southampton.

Loyalty program's Platinum and above members (Emerald-Diamond-Diamond Plus-Pinnacle Club) receive as perks shore excursion package, Deluxe Beverage package, free Internet (VOOM Wi-Fi), free laundry service. On September 30, 2018, RCI discontinued fleetwide its in-cabin babysitting service ("Sitters at Sea" program served by crew members, upon request). Service's only alternatives still available are the shipboard nursery (on some liners only, serving toddlers and kids up to 3 yo) and group sitting ("Late Night Party Zone" program for kids 3-11 yo, served by Adventure Ocean staff). The other two kids programs (Adventure Ocean, Royal Babies, and Tots) remained unchanged. Like most mainstream brands, RCI offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship providing access to areas where passengers are otherwise not allowed to visit.
The ship offers 7-day roundtrip itineraries to Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, Victoria (BC Canada). For winter 2024, Rhapsody OTS has scheduled an RCI-first Caribbean and Latin America program based on 3x homeports - two in Panama (Colon, and Panama City/Fuerte Amador) and one in Colombia (Cartagena). In late February 2017, the RCCL corporation imposed a fee of USD 65 pp in case of leaving the cruise early (whatever the reason might be).
This class (translated "Long View") ships are used for tracking of satellites and intercontinental ballistic missiles. From what is known about the vessel's details, it has displacement tonnage 21,000 tons (fully loaded), crew capacity 470, LOA length 190 m (620 ft). The ship's propulsion is Sulzer, allowing top speed 20 Kn (23 mph / 37 kph). This ship gave China (for the first time ever) the ability to track foreign satellites, as well as satellite and missile launches.
The new choice offers direct booking through RCI (ONLY via Royal Caribbean). Booked passengers have to provide Private Journeys' staff with their idea/basics of what they want (duration, preferred places, activities, meals, etc). Then they work with local (professional) tour guides to design the excursion. Star OTS' inaugural season is based on homeporting in Port Canaveral and 7-day roundtrips to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.
On June 15, 2017, Royal Caribbean International implemented a new "Shore Excursions Cancellation Policy" fleetwide. The new policy transitions from 1 day / 24-hour before land tour departure date to 48 hours before cruise port arrival date. Occasionally, Royal Caribbean offers VOOM package discounts for passengers with pre-purchased online (via CruisePlanner) internet packages. Discounts are also offered for Royal Caribbean loyalty program members (Crown and Anchor Society) when the VOOM package is purchased onboard. Lucaya Property is approx 9 mi (15 km) west of Harbour Village (Freeport Cruise Terminal).
For toddlers (2-3 yo) on each liner are provided at-fee nursery services (hourly charge) via highly experienced and professionally trained staff. Before 2017, RCI offered photo packages for online purchasing on a separate website. In late June 2017, RCI added two photo packages (available for online purchasing at CruisePlanner) both including two options - digital (unlimited photos are uploaded on a USB stick) and printed. The previous time when RCI updated its cancellation policy was on March 7, 2016. Emerald level members receive Welcome Waters and Snacks (with Beverage Selection) and bigger booking discounts (on Balconies and Suites). Drink packages include Deluxe (all-inclusive), Refreshment (non-alcoholic) and Soda (unlimited refills with included a Coca-Cola souvenir cup).

Our tracker shows real-time vessel locations based on AIS data transmitted to VesselFinder. Ship tracking allows you to see vessel's current itinerary route on a digital map, with information on its speed, previous and next call port, estimated port arrival time. Next, are listed all large seaports at which cruise ships tender their passengers ashore. Currently, these ports don't have the needed infrastructure (quay, pier, wharf) with the capacity to berth large cruise vessels.
The list of homeports, for now, includes NYC (Cape Liberty NJ) and PortMiami, with more Florida homeports to me added by the end of 2019. MFACE compares disembarking passenger's facial identity with those of embarking passengers, also matching against US Customs and Border Protection provided TVS (Traveler Verification Service). Passenger privacy is guaranteed as no photos are stored either by RCCL, IDEMIA or US Customs after the cruise's completion. As Cayman does not follow daylight savings time, scheduled arrival and departure times may differ from those supplied by the cruise lines. Always follow the times provided by the ship if you are a cruise passenger. According to International Maritime Law, it is mandatory for all anchored or moored cruise vessels to transmit their current position at least every three minutes.
