When can I select my cabin?
After deposit is received, you will be contacted with a deck plan and the cabins available by category.
You will then select your cabin of preference by the congress rate you selected, subject to availability.
What is the payment schedule for the Congress?
To reserve your spot for NASC 2026, a pre-registration deposit is required.
The current deposit is $249 USD per person through May 3, 2025. After that, the deposit amount will increase to $349 USD during Regular Pricing and $449 USD during Late Pricing.
After full registration opens in early summer 2025, you will be invited to select your stateroom and make an additional payment toward your balance.
Full payment will be required prior to the congress, with final payment deadlines and detailed instructions to be announced.
Pricing is tied to payment timing—if balances are not paid by applicable deadlines, your final pricing may adjust based on the period in effect at the time of payment.
What Happens After I Register?
Once you've completed your NASC 2026 registration and selected your stateroom, your name will be added to the passenger manifest we submit to Royal Caribbean. Closer to the sail date, the cruise line will contact you directly to collect required information such as your passport number, date of birth, and emergency contacts.
They’ll also provide access to your personal cruise account, where you can add optional items such as drink packages, and other incidentals not included in your congress package.
We’ll guide you through every step—and Royal Caribbean will ensure you’re fully set up for smooth sailing.
