Perfect Cruise Gifts for Every Kind of Traveler

The Benefits of Cruise Gift Cards

It's easier than ever for people to purchase an online gift card to celebrate birthdays, holidays and anniversaries — or just because you want to say thank you or show that you care. Plus, there are plenty of reasons why Royal Caribbean cruise gift cards are great ideas:

● They’re easy: Purchasing a gift card takes just a few clicks. You can customize your card with a special design and information about your recipient, along with a custom message, and send it off.

● They’re timeless: Cruise ship gift cards are a great idea because they can be used on your recipient's schedule. They never expire, and they don't lose their value over time. Your loved one can use these cruise gift cards toward the cost of a future vacation or even toward their onboard expense account. 

● They’re flexible: They can also seamlessly add these funds to a SeaPass^® card for ease of use. Simply have your recipient take the gift card information to guest services once onboard, and Royal Caribbean crew members can assist them with loading the funds onto their account.

Your gift recipient will be able to use this gift card toward a variety of travel experiences according to their preferences, allowing them to relax and unwind. Plus, it gives them something exciting to look forward to. Your gift just might inspire your loved one to travel someplace new or try a new experience they otherwise might not have tried.

For example, a Royal Caribbean gift card might help your friend or family member splurge on something they might not get for themselves — like an indulgent spa treatment, a specialty dining experience or a favorite designer perfume from the onboard gift shop.

Royal Caribbean gift cards are excellent vacation gift ideas. If you’re looking for thoughtful cruiser gifts, these cards offer flexibility and fun. Unlike many generic gift cards, there are no fees involved in purchasing them and no penalties for not using them within a certain time period.

Beach and Pool Accessories

These funds can be used to splurge on a cabana or casita rental, either onboard some of the ships or for an entire luxurious day at one of Royal Caribbean's private destinations. Your loved one is sure to think of you fondly while enjoying a day in an overwater cabana at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Onboard Activities and Excursions

Cruise gift cards can be used on spa treatments, including specialty facials, pedicures, massages, specialty body wraps or day passes for the spa (for example, some ships offer seven-night passes to a thermal suite). Maybe your fitness-loving friend would enjoy taking a specialty fitness class onboard, such as yoga, boot camp, Pilates or spinning classes. 

Another fun treat is scheduling an updo or a men's haircut timed for a formal night or special-occasion dinner onboard. With a gift card, all of these options are at your fingertips.

A cruise gift card can also be used toward excursions. Maybe your gift recipient has always wanted to try snorkeling, scuba diving or exploring a glacier by helicopter in Alaska. 

Gourmet Food and Drinks

Food and drink lovers can put their gift card money toward specialty dining, either during one night or toward a package they can use throughout their cruise. They can also purchase drinks onboard or purchase a drink package to enjoy during the length of the cruise. Your loved ones also might enjoy a special tequila or wine tasting class, or a Chef's Table experience, offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at Royal Caribbean's elegant dining.

Travelers can even use gift card funds to pay for onboard gratuities. Your thoughtful present will enable your friends or family members to experience a stress-free vacation, knowing that you've helped make their travels a bit more enjoyable.

Souvenirs

With very few exceptions (the one notable exception is for casino spending), travelers can use Royal Caribbean gift cards for anything related to a cruise. If your recipient prefers to have something tangible to remember your thoughtfulness, they can purchase any number of things from the onboard cruise shops, including:

● Specialty souvenirs.

● Logo merchandise.

● Perfumes.

● Liquors.

● Jewelry.

And more. 

These small, packable purchases can also work well as cruise gift exchange ideas or personalized mementos.
