This is the full 7 days cruise compass Paper planner for my four-night Caribbean cruise Spend a perfect day in CocoCay Round trip sailing from Miami Independence of the Seas July 2024.
Although cruisers can also find daily events, venue times, dress codes and show times on the website. royal appI find it’s often more convenient to use a printed daily planner to see everything in one place.
However, flight attendants no longer automatically send printouts to your cabin every day unless you’re staying in a Junior Suite or above. To get a printed cruise compass, you will need to ask a cabin crew member to deliver it or line up at Guest Services each day to pick up a copy.
You can also scan the “Gone Green” QR code on your stateroom card each day to download a digital copy of your cruise compass. (You don’t need paid Wi-Fi to do this.) The digital version is formatted the same as the paper planner, and you can zoom in and out of the image.
Day 1 – Embarkation Day: Miami, Florida
Our embarkation day is July 4th (Independence Day), so we have a special dress code suggestion: red, white and blue. Typically, this cruise ship has a casual dress code for embarkation days.
