Cyber Monday has brought a new round of big savings opportunities that piggyback on Black Friday for a Royal Caribbean cruise.
The best Cyber Monday deals could be your last chance of the year to bag a bargain find on cruises or add-ons. The shopping weekend officially kicked off on November 29 since Thanksgiving is pretty late this year. Although the sales-friendly holiday marks some of the year's biggest deals, Royal Caribbean has been offering early sales for most of November. While the Cyber Monday offer might just be a rebranded Black Friday offer, it's still when you can find some of our favorite items are on sale right now.
Cyber Monday will undoubtedly offer even more savings opportunities and another chance to get in on discounts before the craziness of the shopping season winds down.
Here's what to expect with Royal Caribbean's Cyber Monday sale. This post will be updated with new Cyber Monday offers as soon as they are revealed.
Royal Caribbean's Biggest Deal Ever

5 of our favorite Cyber Monday deals
It's unlikely we'll see this level of discounts carry forward past Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday, so now is the time to get in on the best prices of the year.
Because there's so much variability with pricing, the actual savings will vary depending on your sailing. Some people are seeing really low prices, while others not as much.
Book a new cruise: It's easy to get hung up on the discounts Royal Caribbean has for its add-ons, but booking an actual cruise is a really good idea during Cyber Monday.
You can get up to $800 instant savings, and that's pretty much the most we'll see in a single offer at any time.
I think your best bet is to look forward to a cruise in 2026 or 2027 and start getting something booked now to take advantage of the sale. While you can absolutely start planning a new 2025 cruise, I think having cruises lined up even further out makes a lot of sense.
Drink packages: There's a good chance the lowest price you'll find for a Royal Caribbean drink package will be during this sale.
Prices for a drink package are as low as $54.99 per person, per day. Anytime you can get the Deluxe Beverage Package for less than $60 per day, that's a great price these days.
Remember, Royal Caribbean is charging at least $100 per day for the Deluxe Package onboard its ships, so waiting to book onboard would be a mistake.
Bundles: There are new bundles that Royal Caribbean is (allegedly) only offering for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
These bundles offer combinations of popular add-ons, combining a drink package, admission to an area of CocoCay, and even WiFi.
Internet access: I already loaded up on WiFi plans during Black Friday, but Cyber Monday is a good reminder to take advantage of lower prices on it now.
The advertised discount is "up to 55% off", and I've observed prices for a one device package as cheap as $15.99 per day.
The price range seems to be between $15.99 and $21.99 per day for a one device package, and those savings add up when you consider onboard prices for the same package start at $27.99 and could easily go up from there.
Specialty restaurant lunch: If you want to dip your toe into Royal Caribbean's extra cost restaurants, the sale price on lunch is really good.
I've seen prices during Cyber Monday for just $15.99 for Chops Grille lunch or Giovanni's or Hooked for $14.99 each.
The lunch menu is similar to the dinner menu, and it comes at a fraction of the cost.
You can still take advantage of a better price on cruise add-ons
If you’ve already purchased add-ons like an internet package or spa service for your upcoming cruise, be sure to check the price of the add-on under the Cyber Monday sale.
If the price is lower, you can cancel and rebook the add-on with no penalty up to 48 hours before your cruise date.
To check if your sailing has this new offer available, log into the Cruise Planner on Royal Caribbean's web site look for any available offers. Keep in mind that not all sailings may see the sale applicable, nor are all offers significantly cheaper than previously posted.
If you spot a better discount on something you already pre-purchased, you should be able to cancel the purchase and then re-purchase the same item under this promotion.
