Royal Caribbean's October offers, including BOGO 60% off the second guest, Kids Sail Free, Free 3rd & 4th Guests and the $800 instant savings, ended on Nov 2, 2026. That doesn't mean there's nothing to book this week. A handful of promo codes and sale fares run through Nov 5 and Nov 6, the Black Friday sale is due to start soon, and if you already booked, there's a simple way to get a lower price later. Every offer below comes from Royal Caribbean's own promotion terms, checked Nov 3.
What ended on Nov 2
Royal Caribbean's promotion terms list these with a booking window of Oct 6 (or later) to Nov 2, 2026 (Royal Caribbean ↗):
- BOGO60: 60% off the cruise fare of the second guest in the cabin.
- Kids Sail Free: $0 cruise fare for a child 12 or younger as the third guest on select 3+ night sailings, with blackouts that included Thanksgiving week (Nov 19–27, 2026) and the holidays (Dec 17, 2026 – Jan 4, 2027).
- Free 3rd & 4th Guests on select 3+ night sailings.
- $800 Savings (up to $800 off a suite on 6+ nights) and the $100 Short Getaway Kicker on 5-night-or-shorter cruises.
If you booked one of these by Nov 2, you keep it. Taxes, fees and port expenses were always extra.

The codes apply to new individual bookings on the sailings included in each offer, are entered at checkout, and are "valid while supplies last" (Royal Caribbean ↗). The companion Flash Deals round ends today, Nov 3. For a family of four in one balcony cabin on a 7-night 2027 sailing, BHE266N is worth $150 off the booking, so it's worth trying the code even if you plan to wait for Black Friday on other trips.
When the Black Friday sale starts
- Official dates: Royal Caribbean's Black Friday page lists Black Friday (Nov 27), Cyber Monday (Nov 30) and Travel Tuesday (Dec 1, 2026), with offers that can change day to day (Royal Caribbean ↗).
- It usually starts earlier. Royal Caribbean Blog expects the 2026 sale to begin the week of Nov 2. In 2024 the sale ran Nov 8–29, with up to 50% off beverage packages and shore excursions, up to 55% off Wi-Fi and up to 50% off dining, and in 2025 there was a bundled "All-In Package" of drinks, dining and Wi-Fi. The 2026 offers haven't been announced yet (Royal Caribbean Blog ↗).
- Add-ons are where Black Friday shines. If you already have a cruise booked, the Cruise Planner discounts on drinks, Wi-Fi and excursions can matter more than the fare sale.
We'll add the Black Friday offers to the deal finder as soon as Royal Caribbean posts the terms.
Also new this week
- Summer 2028 Caribbean cruises open. Royal Caribbean is releasing its 7+ night Caribbean itineraries for May–September 2028 this week. Short Caribbean and winter 7+ night 2028 sailings follow in 2027 (Royal Caribbean Blog ↗). New deployments are a good time to grab the cabin you want before it's gone.
- Legend of the Seas reaches Florida. The newest Icon Class ship is due in Fort Lauderdale on Nov 7 after a transatlantic crossing from Barcelona, starts with a 3-night Perfect Day CocoCay getaway, then alternates 6- and 8-night Western and Southern Caribbean sailings (Royal Caribbean Blog ↗). Compare it with the rest of the fleet on our Royal Caribbean ship finder.
Already booked? How to get the lower price
Royal Caribbean's Best Price Guarantee says that if the same cruise, date and room type shows a lower price on its website or through its call center, it will match it, as long as you ask before final payment (or within 24 hours of booking). If you've already paid, it refunds the difference; if a higher cabin class costs less than you paid, you may be offered an upgrade instead. Not every reservation or country is eligible (Royal Caribbean ↗). Our price-drop guide walks through it step by step, and it's worth checking again the day the Black Friday sale launches.
