Royal Caribbean's new last-minute cruise sale might be the best one we've seen in a really long time.
Almost every week, there’s a list of last-minute deals, though they are often limited and not particularly impressive.
Royal Caribbean's 'Going, Going, Gone' deals this week offer some of the best discounts we've seen.
The flyer offers upcoming cruise deals, typically on sailings that depart within the next few months.
These sales are often only available for two days at a time, with a handful of sailings listed by ship name, sail date, itinerary, embarkation port, and special rates for cabins.
Typically, not every cabin category has a great deal offered, and promotions can sell out quickly over the two days they're listed.
However, the Going, Going, Gone deals released on October 15th, has sailings to consider at some really good prices for a cruise in November or December 2024.
There are 77 different sailings at a discounted price you can consider. Additionally, the sale will last for a week, ending on Monday, October 21st.
This offers cruisers more options than usual and extra time to choose their preferred discounted sailing. One thing to keep in mind is that the discounted rates could sell out at any time and the flyer does not get updated. So you'll want to act quickly.
