Royal Caribbean doesn’t have a teacher discount. Its group offers are for military members, police, fire and EMT crews, seniors over 55 and residents of certain states, and teachers aren’t on the list. The way to pay less on a cruise is cash back: Fluz pays 10% back on Royal Caribbean gift cards.
A week at sea fits neatly into summer break, and a cruise is a big enough bill that 10% back is real money. If you’re pricing a sailing, the gift card route is worth setting up before you book. For places that do have a standing educator rate, see our travel discounts for teachers.
How To Get The Royal Caribbean Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to claim and no teacher verification at Royal Caribbean, so the savings come from a Fluz gift card. Here’s how it works:
- Book your cruise first. You must make a reservation before you can redeem the card, and a deposit is due when you book.
- Make a free Fluz account and buy a Royal Caribbean e-gift card, which runs from $50 to $2,000. Fluz pays 10% cash back on it.
- Email a copy of the gift certificate along with your booking number to the address Fluz gives you. Royal Caribbean applies the value to your reservation, and it can take up to 10 business days.
- If you’d rather not wait on email, call the number on the Fluz page and a Royal Caribbean phone rep can redeem the card for your booking.
Fluz says these cards are redeemable online only, so they’re for cruise bookings and not for anything you’d buy in person. Check what you owe on your reservation before you pay, and make sure the card covers the amount you plan to put toward it.
Group Discounts Royal Caribbean Does Offer
Royal Caribbean’s cruise deals page lists four exclusive discount programs. Resident rates apply when you enter a qualifying state during booking. Seniors above 55 get additional savings. There’s a military discount for U.S. and Canadian forces, and a police, fire and EMT discount for U.S. and Canadian crews. None of them is for teachers, but if you also belong to one of those groups, ask which discount applies to your booking.
ID.me, which lists discounts for teachers at hundreds of stores, doesn’t list a teacher discount for Royal Caribbean either.
