Royal Caribbean Cruise Military Discount

Our Exclusive Offers on Royal Caribbean cruises include:

* A military and veteran discount on every Royal Caribbean cruise.

* Onboard credit and free specialty dining on many Royal Caribbean cruises.

* Extra low group rates, which could be as much as 40% lower than Royal’s lowest rates.

When Royal Caribbean has a military rate, you get their discount AND ours when you book with us.

We take the lowest rate available from Royal Caribbean and apply a percentage discount, so our rate is always less. 100% of the time. Guaranteed.

So you can see all your best deals at a glance!


Icon of the Seas Royal Caribbean

Legend of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s third Icon-class cruise ship, launching in 2026, known for its massive size, extensive dining (28 options), and thrilling attractions like the Category 6 waterpark.

We offer our military discount on every Royal Caribbean ship and sail date.

So when you book with us at Military Cruise Deals, you’ll get a much better deal than if you book with Royal directly, or with any other online travel agency like Travelocity or VacationsToGo.

This month we’re also offering free specialty dining on many 7-day Royal cruises.

But best of all, we have special low group rates on many Royal cruises — and you don’t have to be a group to get these! We have group space that we reserved at a lower rate.

Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas
Royal has THE BEST new ships in the world — with spectacular new things to do and enjoy.

The Oasis Class ships were already the best-of-the-best in the world of cruising.

Yet, somehow, Royal’s gone beyond that with the ICON CLASS SHIPS.

These are absolutely the most popular cruise ships in the world — for a reason. They are not only the largest ships in the world. They have more interesting new stuff than any others. Every member of your family will be thoroughly entertained.

So their price reflects that. A cabin for a family of four during high season in the summer can easily cost $10,000 and up. Ten years ago the price was only $2,500, but back then, the entertainment/food/cabins were all basic. There’s nothing basic about these new Royal ships.

Everything is so intricately and thoughtfully done to provide maximum interest, comfort, thrill, joy, and relaxation. Royal Caribbean continues to elevate the world of cruising.

  • Icon of the Seas (2024): The lead ship, sailing year-round from Miami.
  • Star of the Seas (2025): The second ship, which debuted in August 2025, sailing from Port Canaveral.
  • Legend of the Seas (2026): Set to debut in summer 2026 in Europe before moving to Fort Lauderdale in November 2026.
  • Unnamed 4th Ship (2027): Currently under construction and scheduled for delivery in Q2 2027.

Key Ship Features & Highlights

Icon-class ships are divided into eight distinct neighborhoods, combining new concepts with favorites from the Oasis-class ships.

  • Thrill Island: Home to Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea with six record-breaking slides, and Crown’s Edge, a skywalk/ropes course 154 feet above the ocean.
  • AquaDome: A massive glass and steel structure at the bow featuring a 55-foot water curtain and a theater for high-diving and synchronized swimming shows.
  • Surfside: A stay-all-day neighborhood specifically for young families, featuring its own pools (Splashaway Bay), eateries, and the Ultimate Family Townhouse suite.
  • The Hideaway: An adults-only beach club vibe located 8 decks up, featuring the first suspended infinity pool at sea.
  • The Pearl: A three-deck-high kinetic art installation on the Royal Promenade that serves as a structural support for the ship.
  • Sustainable Technology: These are the first Royal Caribbean ships powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and include advanced waste-to-energy systems.

Top Dining & Entertainment

Each ship features over 40 restaurants and bars, with some unique variations by vessel:

  • Supper Clubs: Icon features the New York-themed Empire Supper Club, while Star has the Chicago-themed Lincoln Park Supper Club, and Legend will debut the Hollywoodland Supper Club.
  • Royal Railway: Legend of the Seas will feature the Royal Railway, an immersive dining experience set in a simulated train car.
  • Broadway Shows: Icon of the Seas features The Wizard of Oz, while Star of the Seas debuted with a production of Back to the Future.

Our 5% military/veteran discount on all Royal Caribbean cruises applies to the Icon class ships, of course. On a $10,000 cabin that’s a $500 discount!

How much is our military discount on Royal Caribbean cruises?

Royal Caribbean used to offer a dedicated military discount fare for active, retired, and veteran U.S., Canadian, and British Forces military on some of their cruises.

However, they’ve since replaced all military, senior, and resident discounts with a non-refundable discount fare code. Here’s how it works:

  • The non-refundable fare code is typically $100–$300 less than fully refundable fare codes.
  • If you cancel before final payment, you’ll incur a $100 per person cancellation fee.
  • Since this is the lowest rate Royal Caribbean offers, we take that fare code and add our military discount on top.

Our military discount makes our price lower than Royal’s lowest rate — 100% of the time, guaranteed. It is approximately 5% less than the cheapest rate Royal Caribbean publishes. The higher the price of your cruise, the greater your savings will be.

How we maximize your military discount on Royal Caribbean cruises even after you’ve booked:

Between the time you book your cruise and your sail date, we monitor your rate and can adjust it if Royal Caribbean lowers their price.

If the price drops, we contact Royal Caribbean and request that they refare your cruise to the new lower rate, upgrade you to a higher category, or provide an onboard credit for the difference.

If you notice a price drop before we do, contact Military Cruise Deals and we’ll take care of it right away.

Is Royal Caribbean a good cruise line for kids? How does it compare to Carnival and Disney?

Royal is an AMAZING cruise line for kids with programs that are easily as good as Carnival’s and Disney’s. One of the things that makes Disney fun for kids are the big character meet-and-greets — kids get to interact with live-sized versions of Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy.

Royal’s DreamWorks experience offers this same joyful experience, but with the characters from Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda. Nothing is better than hugging a life-sized penguin or hippo!

But most parents’ favorite feature of the Royal Caribbean kids’ program is My Family Time Dining, in which expedited meals are served to kids ages 3–11, and as soon as they’re done eating the kids are whisked away by the Adventure Ocean kids’ staff so parents can enjoy the rest of their dinner in peace. Love that.

There are age-appropriate play facilities and programs operated by a well-trained Youth Staff that will engage and entertain kids of all ages.
