What are the Book Now and Book Later options?

NextCruise gives you two flexible ways to book your next Royal Caribbean cruise while onboard. You can either choose your sailing right away or secure your savings and decide later - whichever way works best for you.

Book Now 

Choose your ship and sail date while you’re onboard and lock in the NextCruise instant savings offer of up to $300, based on sailing length, stateroom category, and itinerary.
 

• Your instant savings are applied at the time of booking.
• You have up to two (2) months from your booking date to make changes to your sailing without a change fee.  (After the two month period, standard booking and change fee policies apply.)

Book Later

Secure your offer now with a $200 per stateroom deposit and choose your ship and sail date later.
 

• Choose your ship and sail date within two (2) months of reservation creation to receive the NextCruise instant savings offer of up to $300.   If your plans change after choosing your cruise, you can make changes to your sailing without a change fee during that same two‑month savings window.
• If you need more time to select your sailing, your $200 per‑stateroom deposit keeps your Book Later reservation active for up to one (1) year—giving you the option to secure your sailing with a low deposit even after the savings window ends.
