This Week’s Best Cruise Deals: 4 Nights on Wonder of the Seas for $309

How we work: facts are checked against original sources and linked, cruise prices are verified on the cruise line’s own website the day we publish, and we earn no commissions. Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we will correct it.

Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Virgin Voyages are all running sales called “Black Friday Preview” this week, and Princess has its “Blue Friday” sale. Royal Caribbean’s best value is four nights on Wonder of the Seas from Miami from $309, about $77 a night. But many of the same sailings cost more this week than they did a few weeks ago, so check the price as well as the sale name.

Here are the best deals of the week. Every price below was checked on November 13, 2026, directly on each cruise line’s site. Disney’s rates come from the Disney Cruise Line Blog, which tracks them every week. The Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess and Virgin sales all end before next Friday, so we’ve listed every deadline.

⭐ Deal of the Day: Wonder of the Seas, Four Nights for $309

Royal Caribbean · Wonder of the Seas · 4 nights · Bahamas & Perfect Day · from Miami · sails December 7, 2026

Royal Caribbean lists this sailing from $309 per person, which works out to about $77 a night. That’s the lowest per-night fare on Royal Caribbean’s deals page this week. Wonder is one of the line’s biggest ships, and this four-night trip from Miami includes a day at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island.

Watch for: $309 is a “starting from” fare for the cheapest cabin, and taxes, fees and gratuities are added at checkout. The new “Black Friday Preview Sale” offers “Up to $900 off + Cyber Bonus: Up to $150 credit to spend onboard + 3rd and 4th guests sail free” and is coded on Royal Caribbean’s page to end on Monday, November 16 (Eastern time). The ship sails in 24 days, so expect to pay in full when you book. Last week the same four-night trip on November 30 was $289.

1. Royal Caribbean: Four Nights From Los Angeles for $329

The rest of Royal Caribbean’s board, all under the same sale:

• Ovation of the Seas, 4 nights, Catalina & Ensenada, from Los Angeles, December 14, 2026: from $329 (about $82 a night). This same sailing was $209 on October 23.
• Utopia of the Seas, 4 nights, Bahamas & Perfect Day, from Port Canaveral (Orlando), November 30, 2026: from $409 (about $102 a night).

Watch for: fares are per person, before taxes and fees, and the sale ends on Monday, November 16. Star of the Seas’ seven-night Western Caribbean trip from Port Canaveral on December 6 is now $1,209, up $203 from last week’s $1,006, which is why it dropped off our list.

2. Celebrity: 11 Nights in Italy and Croatia for $1,249, Taxes In

Celebrity’s Black Friday Preview reads “Take 75% off your second guest’s cruise fare, plus save up to $950 per stateroom and get an extra $100 off Caribbean cruises.” This week its deals page shows only European sailings for 2027, and Celebrity’s prices include taxes and fees:

• Celebrity Constellation, 11 nights, Best of Italy & Croatia, from Ravenna, August 16, 2027: $1,249 (about $114 a night), the lowest per-night fare on the page.
• Celebrity Infinity, 7 nights, Best of Greece, from Athens (Piraeus), August 8, 2027: $899 (about $128 a night).
• Celebrity Equinox, 7 nights, Italy & Malta, from Barcelona, November 4, 2027: $993 (about $142 a night).

Watch for: these are summer and fall 2027 sailings, and you’ll need to add flights to Europe. Celebrity’s last-minute “Exciting Deals” expire at 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, November 16, 2026. See Celebrity’s deals →

3. Disney: Baja From $111.15 a Night, Plus a New Florida Rate

The Disney Cruise Line Blog’s November 9 post lists resident and military rates, quoted per person, per night:

• US military: Disney Wonder, 4-night Baja from San Diego, January 25, 2027: $111.15 a night ($444.60 per person). It’s the seventh week at this rate, and it’s still the lowest on the list. Southern California residents pay $124.60 ($498.40) on the same sailing.
• US military, new to us: Disney Wonder, 5-night Mexican Riviera from San Diego, January 10, 2027: $126.75 a night ($633.75).
• Florida residents, new to us: Disney Dream, 4-night Bahamian from Fort Lauderdale, January 18, 2027: $176.40 a night ($705.60), the lowest Florida resident rate on the list. It’s for category 9B, an oceanview cabin.

Watch for: each rate is for the cheapest cabin category available on that sailing, rooms are limited to 50 per category and sailing, and the offers can’t be combined with other discounts.

4. Virgin Voyages: 80% Off the Second Sailor, Until November 19

Virgin’s “Black Friday Preview: 80% off Second Sailor + up to $600 in Free Drinks” is still running, and the page says the offer ends November 19, 2026 (11:59 p.m. Eastern, per the terms). Virgin’s terms split the saving across both sailors, so each gets 40% off the base fare. A separate Black Friday Preview banner promises up to $300 onboard credit.

Watch for: the free bar tab only applies to Rockstar Suites and select Sea Terrace cabins, not to Sea View or Insider cabins, and voyages of three nights or fewer don’t qualify. No voyages are priced on the page. See Virgin Voyages’ deals →

5. Princess: “Blue Friday,” Up to 50% Off Plus $400, Until Monday

Princess’s “Blue Friday” sale is back with “Up to 50% + $400 instant savings + free 3rd & 4th guests + 50% off deposits.” The free third and fourth guests apply to Caribbean cruises. The page’s countdown runs to 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Monday, November 16. Princess’s prices include taxes and fees.

Watch for: no named sailings or fares are listed, so price your own cruise and compare the total before and after the sale ends. See Princess deals →

6. Holland America: Up to 50% Off Warm-Weather Cruises, Book by December 31

Holland America’s “Save on Sunshine: Up to 50% off Warm Weather Getaway” covers cruises to the Caribbean, Mexico, the Panama Canal and beyond when you book by December 31. Last week’s one-week $200 onboard credit has ended. A separate early-booking offer for South America, Australia and other fall 2027 to spring 2028 cruises promises up to 60% off premium extras when you book by December 3.

Watch for: no ships, dates or fares are listed, so you’ll need to price your own sailing. See Holland America’s deals →

Is “Black Friday” Really the Time to Book?

Black Friday is one of the big booking moments of the cruise year, along with “wave season” from January to March. It can be a good time to book, but a sale name doesn’t promise a lower price, as our tracking showed this week. Here’s how to judge a sale:

1. Track one sailing, not the sale. Ovation of the Seas’ December 14 trip was $209 in October’s sale and is $329 in this one. Star of the Seas’ December 6 trip went up $203 in a week. Note the price of the sailing you want, and compare that.
2. Look at what the perks are worth to you. This week’s extras are mostly onboard credit, drinks and free third and fourth guests. They’re worth a lot to a family of four and little to a couple who won’t use them.
3. Book with a refundable deposit if you can. If the fare drops before final payment, you can often reprice. Check the deposit terms first, because some low fares use non-refundable deposits.
4. Don’t wait for Cyber Monday if the fare already works. Sales run back to back at this time of year, but cheap cabins on popular dates can sell out between them.

Prices and offers were checked on November 13, 2026, and can change or sell out at any time. Unless noted, taxes, fees, port expenses and gratuities may be extra. Always confirm the final price on the cruise line’s website before booking. Cruise Chaos does not earn commissions on these deals.
