General dress code guidelines must be followed according to Royal Caribbean’s standards (See More)

All attire must comply with Royal Caribbean Guidelines, especially the bathing suit rule for pool areas, where appropriate swimwear like swim shorts or bikinis is required. Footwear is mandatory in all areas except the Pool Deck.

Formal Wear

During Formal Nights at the Main Dining Room or at the Chef’s Table, formal dress codes are enforced. This includes formal cosplays, which are allowed provided they meet the formal dress requirements. Royal Caribbean reserves the right to make the final decision on the acceptability of attire.

Contests

All contestants must ensure their attire adheres to both the convention’s dress code and Royal Caribbean’s guidelines. This is particularly important for Cosplay Contests, where costumes that fail to meet these dress code requirements will be disqualified from competition. It’s crucial to review and understand the dress code policies to ensure participation is allowed.

Appropriate footwear is required at ports, and certain clothing may be restricted.

At all ports, it’s mandatory to wear footwear. Shoes are recommended over flip-flops to prevent accidents, as flip-flops can get caught in gaps between the ship or port and the ramp. Additionally, the terrain in ports might not be suitable for less sturdy footwear.

Be aware that camouflage print clothing and accessories, along with military-style attire, may be prohibited in places like Bimini, where such designs are reserved for military personnel only. To avoid legal issues, refrain from wearing these types of clothing while visiting ports.

Respect and consent are paramount; cosplay does not imply consent for photos, touching, or harassment.

Cosplay is not consent: If a person is in cosplay, be mindful of your words towards them and how you act around them. This is a real person with a life outside of their cosplay. If you are in cosplay as a character that might harass others, that does not give you a pass to harass real people even if you are “in character.”

In regards to photography, touching, and communication: ask first and respect a person’s right to say no. “No” always means “No.” “Go away” means “go away.” Only “Yes” means “yes.” Do not follow or attempt to disrupt their convention experience in any way upon being asked to leave or that they do not consent to a request.

In the event of harassment:

If you feel that you or another person is being harassed or being subjected to prejudiced or unwelcome behavior; or if you witness someone behaving inappropriately (such as violating hotel or convention policies), we respectfully suggest the following:

• If you feel you can, point out the inappropriate behavior to the person(s) involved. This may de-escalate the problem immediately.
• If you do not feel comfortable talking with the person(s) involved or if talking to them does not resolve the issue, please report the situation immediately verbally via general staff (identified by a staff badge), security (identified by a security badge), or department head. You also have the option to alert the staff via Colossalcon Safetalk Portal.
• Con staff will request names, badge names, badge numbers, and/or physical descriptions of the person(s) for further investigation and follow-up.

If you feel threatened, make it a priority to remove yourself and others threatened from the situation, come to Con Operations, security, or find anyone on staff. You can also text Operations via the Colossalcon Safetalk Portal so we can arrange an escort to come get you.

Please report the event to staff as soon as you’re comfortable. Time can determine how successful we can be in resolving the issue.

The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable within our community:

• Violence, threats of violence, or violent language directed against another person.
• Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language.
• Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material, except in designated 18+ events.
• Posting or threatening to post other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”).
• Public displays of intoxication and heckling.
• Personal insults, especially those related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability.
• Inappropriate photography or recording, excluding official con photography team activities (refer to photography policy).
• Inappropriate physical contact without consent.
• Unwelcome sexual attention, including sexualized comments or jokes, inappropriate touching, groping, and unwelcomed sexual advances.
• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following (online or in person).
• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
• Sustained disruption of community events, including talks and presentations.
• Any illegal activities as defined by local, state, and federal law.

Harassment in any form is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. Violators may be subject to disciplinary action, including removal from the event and potential bans from future events.

Our event strives to provide a fun and safe atmosphere for the attendees. Anyone who is making an effort to make people feel uncomfortable is not contributing to the fun atmosphere and potentially making it unsafe. Anyone caught doing so, may face consequences ranging from a verbal warning to expulsion from the event and property.

This policy is to applicable to all persons in attendance, including staff, vendors, panelists, etc. This policy also expressly prohibits retaliation of any kind against anyone who is identifying themselves of being harassed or reporting harassment.

Harassment by anyone (attendees, guests, volunteers, security, staff, and/or venue employees) should be reported, and can be reported by anyone.

Access to CCC2025 events requires official lanyards; attendees must adhere to convention and cruise rules.

Our agent has secured amazing rates and perks included that are not included with typical booking. Any cruises booked outside of our cruise agent will not receive any of the con perks/denied entry to con sponsored events.

CCC2025 events mandate the display of the official ColossalCon Cruise 2025 Lanyard for entry. Failure to display the lanyard will result in denial of access to exclusive events. The ColossalCon Cruise Management Team oversees all events associated with CCC2025, ensuring attendees comply with both convention and cruise regulations.

Disruptive behavior during events will not be tolerated. Offenders may face consequences ranging from removal from the event to the revocation of event credentials. Severe infractions could lead to a ban from future ColossalCon Cruise or ColossalCon events, and in extreme cases, penalties from Royal Caribbean, including possible disembarkation from the cruise without a refund.

US laws apply onboard and at destinations; illegal activities are strictly prohibited.

Despite cruising in international waters, US laws are generally applicable onboard and at the destinations we visit. Engaging in illegal activities can lead to arrest by Royal Caribbean authorities and possible removal from the ship. It’s crucial for all guests to adhere to these laws to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Port Restrictions

Marijuana is still an illegal substance at US Ports. You may not bring marijuana (including CBD Oil, CBD Vapes, and CBD Gummies) into the Terminal, and you may be subject to arrest if you bring these substances into the terminal.

Speaker use is regulated to ensure a pleasant environment for all guests.

Roll around speakers are generally not allowed to maintain a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere for all guests. However, handheld Bluetooth speakers can be used within cabins and may be allowed on the pool deck, provided the volume is low and the content is not offensive. The music should be kept at a level that cannot be heard by individuals outside of your immediate group. This policy also applies to CocoCay to ensure a consistent experience across all areas.
