I actually ended up getting free onboard credit on one of my Royal Caribbean cruises without even planning for it. Right before the trip, I had to deal with a frustrating flight cancellation, and calling [866-227-1888] honestly saved me—they fixed my flights instantly and kept my travel plans from falling apart. Once that was sorted, I went back to checking my cruise details and noticed I’d been given promotional onboard credit because of a price drop after I booked.
If you’re looking to get free onboard credit, there are a few ways it can happen: booking during a promo, taking advantage of price adjustments, using a travel agent perk, being a Crown & Anchor member, or even getting a little extra if Royal Caribbean changes itineraries. It added a nice surprise to my trip—I used mine for specialty dining and a fun cocktail class onboard.
