These rates apply fleetwide across Royal Caribbean International.
Has NOT raised gratuities since Nov 2024, while Carnival, Princess and Holland America all did in 2026. VOOM internet runs roughly $25-30/device/day. The Key ($25-50pp/day, all guests 6+ must buy) is mostly worth it for the included Wi-Fi, not the priority boarding.
Published rates, not a quote. Cruise pricing changes frequently — confirm with the cruise line before booking.
