Does Royal offer better deals on cruises on Black Friday?

[missingyou]

Looking to book a cruise for Jan or Feb 2025.  wondering is I should just book it now or wait for Black Friday?   Have never watched Black Friday cruise prices to know if there is a benefit of waiting to book or not.  Thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance.

Havent seen better cruise prices since covid. Just sales on planner items for already booked cruises.

I just saw an add for one of the big online cruise travel companies offering early access to the RCL black Friday sail with discounts and double onboard credit. I don't think we can name names but a quick Google search should get you there.

That was kind of what I was expecting but figured I would check and see.

Since Royal allows North American bookings to be repriced up until final payment there is absolutely no benefit to wait to book a cruise if you know the ship and date you want.  All that can happen is that the price goes up while you are waiting for a "sale"

Is it one specific cruise or are you flexible on departure ports and days?

If you are flexible on departure ports and days, I would start price shopping but wait on booking anything.

Prices are trending downward, especially for something that far out.

 

Check online travel agents for Black Friday discounts and OBC also.

trying to decide btw 3 diff cruises from the same port.   I will watch and check - appreciate the info.

The answer is...maybe.

Yes, they offer SUPER deals.  But they’re about the same price as all their other deals.

Book as early as possible and if it changes you get the reduction.
