What special pricing is available on a Royal Caribbean cruise?

Some qualifying rates apply for the following including a special third and/or fourth guest rate for anyone staying in the same stateroom with two full-fare paying guests will pay. So if you intend on having your children stay in your stateroom, their rate may be lower. Additional qualifying rates include:

• We offer reduced senior prices only on selected sailings exclusively for guests who are 55 years of age and older. 
• We also offer special rates for police and firefighters on select ships and sailings. 
• We do offer special rates on selected sailings for military personnel.
• It is important that at least one guest per stateroom be eligible to be considered in compliance with a restricted price program. It is also important to note that noncompliance of the restricted price program terms will result in the reservation being re-priced to the lowest available fare for that particular day. Furthermore, you will be responsible to pay for any differences immediately or else your boarding rights will be denied.
