Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean releases onboard credit promotions every Thursday.

The cruise is a little more expensive today, but there's onboard credit.

We can repric your cruise if you're already booked.

If you already purchased the drink package, internet excursions, etc. with that onboard credit money... it's going to get canceled.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check onboard credit promotions every Thursday for potential deals.
If already booked, consider repricing but be aware you may lose onboard credit.
Don't spend onboard credit until closer to sailing to avoid losing promotions.
Contact a travel agent for assistance with booking or repricing.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean runs special onboard credit promotions every Thursday, and if you’ve been tracking cruise prices, you may have already noticed the pattern. Prices often rise slightly on Thursdays, but the added onboard credit usually offsets the increase. By Friday, fares often drop back down when the offer ends. If you're already booked, I can reprice your cruise when the fare changes — just remember that if you’ve used promotional OBC to buy drink packages, Wi-Fi, or excursions, those purchases may cancel if we switch to a lower fare. If this ever feels confusing, that’s exactly why I’m here. I can help you navigate pricing changes, onboard credit promotions, and the best time to book your cruise. If you’re ready to book — or want to transfer an eligible reservation — reach out to me first. Follow along with me! Please like, share, and subscribe.
