You're ready to book a Royal Caribbean cruise and like anything you buy, you'll likely be looking for ways to shave off some money on the price of your cruise. Royal Caribbean does offer some discounts that can help you save money on your cruise vacation if you qualify.
To get any of these discounts, it's important to mention the discounts you are eligible for to your travel agent or Royal Caribbean directly.
Often many passengers are unaware these discounts exist, so do your research to make sure you qualify for any of them and then inquire when you are ready to book a cruise.
