Royal Caribbean has revealed its Black Friday sale details ahead of the major shopping holiday.
Anyone looking to book a cruise between Black Friday and Cyber Monday can save up to $550 in savings when you combine the Cyber Week sale with the month-long kicker of up to $150 instant savings.
The new offer includes 30 percent off every guest and instant savings on cruises departing in 2022.
Royal Caribbean will change the name of the promotion between Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, but the promotion is exactly the same.
Beginning on Tuesday, Crown & Anchor Society members can take advantage of the Cyber Week promotion. Then on Wednesday, it opens up to the general public.
This offer is in addition to the sale that begins on November 23 for drink packages, wifi and other add-ons.

How to check if the price is lower
The most straight forward method for seeing if there is a price drop is to go to Royal Caribbean's website and do a mock booking.
Be sure to go through as much of the checkout process as you can to ensure you are comparing exactly what you have booked, as things like cruise fare (refundable vs non-refundable), gratuities, taxes and other fees may not be levied until later in the checkout.
Another option is to let you travel agent handle this for you. Some travel agents (the really good ones) will take it upon themselves to check for lower prices on behalf of their clients.
I recommend this travel agency for booking a Royal Caribbean cruise, and they will reprice for you during sales like this. If you are not convinced using a free travel agency right for you, read this post discussing the benefits travel agents offer.
