6 Things I'll do differently on Royal Caribbean in 2024

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Matt from Royal Blog outlines several strategic changes he intends to implement during his 2024 Royal Caribbean cruises to save money and improve his overall experience. His first priority is booking cruises further in advance to avoid rising costs and secure better pricing on new ships. He also plans to experiment with skipping the beverage package by leveraging the Casino Royale loyalty program to earn free drinks through casino play. Regarding transportation, he intends to utilize the Brightline train service between Orlando and South Florida to avoid driving and traffic. Matt is also reconsidering the value of the unlimited dining package, noting that the quality of complimentary food on Royal Caribbean ships has improved significantly. Additionally, he aims to complete a long-standing bucket list item by attempting the rock climbing wall. Finally, he hopes to establish a new family tradition by ensuring he takes his children for a night swim at the pool during every cruise. These resolutions reflect a shift toward more proactive planning and maximizing the value of included amenities.
