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.

The sale should start on 11-18 There will be a discount but not or maybe no lower than the recent Halloween sale.

Yes you can purchase 2 at a time. You can purchase regular coffee.

These offers used to be common. I suspect a drop off in the number of people wanting to pay 1000+ for the drink package is bringing back there return.

Black Friday sale will start Nov. 18 so you will have some time before it locks out. I doubt you will see any discount beyond what is already being offered with a cruise so close.

Excursions yes but not drink packages. Maybe a few dollars on 10+ night sailings that are far in the future.

From the KEY description in the planner The Key must be purchased prior to sailing by each guest age 6 or older assigned to the same stateroom. You get a discount for each additional guest when you purchase the internet for one person and then select how many devices you want on the account. If it is 17.99 for one device you should get each additional one at 11.99 or so. So, it is cheaper to have one account with 4 devices than 4 separate accounts. Check that out in the planner. Still, the KEY may be worth it depending on how much you value what is has to offer.

Stick with 1068. There will be some noise from the Windjammer but nothing to bad. Mainly chairs being moved around. 1598 is a long walk to the stairs or elevators. You can move cabins in the same category so keep checking for one on deck 9 if you want.

It will begin on the Saturday before Thanksgiving which is the 18th and end on the 28th. Thanksgiving week cruises will be too late, and they don't get discounted much anyway even if you have one for 2024. You pay a premium for everything for holiday travel. Photo package and internet and some shore excursions are about the most you can hope for.

It will go lower during the black Friday sale. However, if too many people reserve now with the intent of canceling and repurchase at a lower sale price then there will be no motivation on royals part to offer a lower price.

What pricing are you showing for the two choices? My future cruise has the day beds at 400 and the Club at 169 per person. Slightly cheaper for the club. LOL at spending 400 to lay in a bed.

76.99 any date for the 4 night cruises.

Explorer of the seas 7 night early December is now 68. That is the low price over the last 6 months. High was 78. Brilliance OTS mid March is now 58 down from 72 but it is an 11 night so you tend to see larger price swings on some 9 plus night cruises. Black Friday does not offer much on drink package. Some minor discounts from the current lows on a few sailings. Mainly those 9 months or more out.

Got a 7 night Alaska cruise one way Seward to Vancouver for 235 per person Oceanview. Radiance of the Seas May 2024.

Just ignore setting the appointment. Most are reporting that it is some sort of glitch from Royals IT group.

They still have time to change their cabin to an OV.

$404 early December on Labadee. Thankfully vacation for me is not laying in a bed.

The side order selections are terrible at Royals specialty restaurants. Almost all are some flavor of a Potatoe. The salad selections are not much better either. Entrees are good. Lunch is the best deal as it is almost the same menu at less than half the price of dinner. The Italian venues are definitely better than Chops.

There are no major price discounts for it on black Friday. A few dollars less than some of the better sales on a few sailings but that is about it.

Airline, hotel, and car rental prices are dropping in most markets. Credit card activity for travel is definetly dropping, at least for future travel. Cruises will drop in price also. It will just take longer since people plan this type of vacation so far in advance.

Lowest I have seen in the last year is 9.99. I doubt you will see it any lower. maybe 8.99 on Black Friday but they don't do much discounting on beverage packages for black Friday.

No. They have spread sand out into the water.

Jet ski and zip line will be marked way down at black Friday. Probably 50 each. That was last years price. Jet ski gets cancelled all the time with the least little bit of wind.

94 for waterpark pass in early December. 999 for pass and cabana. You may get a lower price for the Waterpark on Black Friday. You are very unlikely to get a lower price for the cabana and waterpark pass combo on Black Friday. Prices are usually higher for the large ships.
