Royal Caribbean military program

Royal Caribbean offers a military rate on select sailings for eligible service members, veterans, retirees and spouses. Royal Caribbean does not publish a standard discount percentage — savings vary by ship, sailing and current promotion, so it's worth pricing against the public fare before booking.

The bottom line

Royal Caribbean lists "Military" as one of its restricted-rate programs, alongside senior and resident rates — but unlike NCL or Princess, it doesn't publish a standard discount percentage or a standing list of included perks. The rate is offered "on select sailings," and Royal Caribbean's own promotions page notes the fare varies by ship, sailing, and stateroom category. Some current public promotions (like BOGO60 or Kids Sail Free) list the military rate as combinable; others explicitly exclude it. Because there's no published ceiling, always price the military rate against the day's public fare and current promotion before booking — sometimes the promotion wins, sometimes the military rate does.
