Key Policies
Check-In Time
Passengers should check in at least two hours before the scheduled departure time. Failure to check in 30 minutes before departure may result in the cancellation of the ticket and the accommodation offered to another passenger.

A valid government-issued ID such as SSS, PhilHealth, or Pag-IBIG is required at boarding.
Baggage (Allowance, Excess, Unclaimed)
Passengers in 2nd class and tourist accommodations can bring two pieces of baggage with a combined size of up to 0.05 cubic meters or 100 kilograms.
Refunds and Rebooking
Refunds and rebookings are available within 15 days from the ticket purchase date. To process these, passengers need to visit the nearest Roble Shipping ticketing office, not ticketing agencies. If the ticket was purchased at an agency, the refund or rebooking must be done at the same agency.

Pets
Roble Shipping allows pets onboard for an extra fee if they are in secure cages and have a travel permit from the City Veterinary Office or Bureau of Animal Industry.

Passengers may accompany their pets in the baggage area, but emotional support animals are not permitted.
Pregnancy
Pregnant passengers under 28 weeks may travel on Roble Shipping with a valid medical certificate stating fitness for sea travel, the departure date, and a signed waiver. Those 29 weeks and beyond are not allowed. Passengers are responsible for the authenticity of the certificate, and Roble reserves the right to deny boarding for misrepresentation.
