5 Things I'll do differently on Royal Caribbean in 2025
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Matt from Royal Caribbean Blog outlines five personal resolutions for his cruising habits in 2025. His first goal is to reduce the frequency of his sailings to create a better balance between travel and home life, noting that he took seventeen cruises in 2024. Second, he intends to better utilize his Crown and Anchor loyalty benefits, specifically mentioning specialty dining deals and free family photos to save money. Third, he plans to reconsider stops in Nassau, Bahamas, due to the upcoming opening of the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, which he believes will improve the destination's appeal. Fourth, he advises travelers to check flight prices through Air2Sea before booking directly with airlines to potentially secure subsidized international rates. Finally, he expresses a desire to avoid Caribbean cruises during the summer months in 2026 and beyond to escape the intense heat and humidity. He concludes by inviting viewers to share their own cruising resolutions in the comments.
