Royal Caribbean’s Black Friday sale is in full swing, and it includes a new combo deal that could save you money.<\/p>\n
Even though the actual Black Friday holiday isn’t for a couple more weeks, Royal Caribbean decided to get in on the holiday sales early. It launched a Black Friday Early Access sale that will change names over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
While most people focus on individual add-ons, Royal Caribbean has added a new offer exclusive to Black Friday.<\/p>\n
This limited time offer is only for the Black Friday period, and it’s so different from any other combo deal I’ve seen in the past that it’s worth taking a deeper look at.<\/p>\n
New for Black Friday in 2025 is a bundle deal that includes the most popular extras a lot of cruise passengers buy.<\/p>\n
The All-In Package<\/strong> comes in two forms, depending if you are sailing to Nassau, Bahamas or not.<\/p>\n If your sailing is going to Nassau once the new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island<\/a> is open, it also includes a day pass with unlimited open bar & dining.<\/p>\n Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is a new idea from Royal Caribbean, where passengers have the choice to purchase admission to an exclusive beach day excursion that is owned and operated by Royal Caribbean.<\/p>\n It’s being described as the ultimate beach day experience to offer a superior excursion with pools, beaches, party zones, food and drink included.<\/p>\n The All-In Package also includes a free beach day pass to Hideaway Beach, which is the adults-only area of Perfect Day at CocoCay.<\/p>\n For a cruise that visits both Nassau, Bahamas and CocoCay, the price listed is $164.99 per guest, per day.<\/p>\n Cruises that don’t visit CocoCay or Nassau include just the drinks, dining, and WiFi. I’ve seen prices between $89.99 and $119.99 per guest, per day.<\/p>\n There’s also a Refreshment Package that includes the Refreshment Package, Royal Beach Club Day Pass with Non-Alcoholic Drinks & Dining, and Thrill Waterpark Day Pass. It does not include WiFi.<\/p>\n Royal Caribbean is advertising the All-In Package as “our best deal of the year”, but will they save you money?<\/p>\n In evaluating the package, the savings depend on your exact sailing. Because Royal Caribbean’s prices vary from ship to ship and sailing to sailing, the prices for the package and the individual add-on components vary considerably.<\/p>\n For example, here’s a Utopia of the Seas sailing on January 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n Total price for one person with the All-In Package that includes both the Royal Beach Club and Hideaway Beach day passes is $164.99 per guest, per day.<\/p>\n Here are the prices for the individual add-ons on that sailing:<\/p>\n Adding up the first three packages, it’s $140.97 per guest, per day. Combining the total cost of the Royal Beach Club Day pass and Hideaway Beach Day pass and dividing by the 3 days, the cost is about $74 per guest, per day.<\/p>\n That brings the total cost to $214.97, making the All-In Package a savings of almost $50 per day.<\/p>\n There’s a catch. The individual prices I listed are for a passenger with no Crown & Anchor status or status in the ship’s casino.<\/p>\n I’m seeing the price of the Deluxe Beverage Package at a lower price because I’m a Pinnacle Club member<\/a> and have Prime Status<\/a> in the casino. For me, it’s $53.99 per guest, per day. The Ultimate Dining Package is also slightly discounted at $34.99 per guest per day.<\/p>\n That brings the daily price down to $186.97, or about $22 per day savings.<\/p>\n\n
