2024 Royal Caribbean Cruise

July 27-August 3, 2024

Join us on a cruise to the Caribbean islands!

Departure city: Miami, Florida

Book at https://www.royalcaribbean.com/ 

Just so you have an ideal of the cost: I ran a quick 2-person trip for a balcony (see side panel on the right/bottom if on phone). Once you put down the downpayment, you can pay whatever you like.

 

For instance, if your balance is $5175.22 you can pay $370 per month for 14 months and be done. Just an option.

Remember the prices go up and down, so you can call in several times and get the price reduced before the actual trip.

As I checked today, the rooms are filling up on this ship.

Remember included in the price is food, some drinks, lodging, entertainment, with stops in:

  • Philipsburg, St. Maarten
  • Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
  • Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas Full day of swimming and eating.
