Can I book my flights with a Royal Caribbean cruise?

Yes, Royal Caribbean allows you to book flights directly through them via their Air2Sea® program, offering a convenient, comprehensive travel solution from home airport to cruise ship and back. Here's how it works and what to consider:

✈️ Air2Sea Flight Booking

• Integrated booking: When reserving your cruise—or anytime after—you can use Royal Caribbean's Air2Sea to search and book flights aligned with your cruise schedule. The portal auto‑fills travel dates and syncs with your cruise booking number 

• Flexible fare options: You’ll see a variety of refundable and non‑refundable fares, letting you choose your preferred airline, schedule, and pricing 

• Booking window: Flights can be arranged as early as 330 days before cruise and up to 4 days prior to departure.

• Payment timing: Airfare is added to your cruise total and typically due with your final cruise payment—so you don’t have to pay immediately 

✅ Benefits of Booking via Air2Sea

• Assured Arrival Support: If your flight is delayed or canceled, Royal Caribbean’s Emergency Travel Team will rebook you on a later flight—even to the next port—so you don’t miss the ship 

• 24/7 Expert Assistance: Dedicated air travel agents are available around the clock to help.

⚠️ Things to Consider

• Limited airline options: You may not see some carriers (e.g., Southwest) or smaller budget airlines on Air2Sea.

• Mileage restrictions: Booking through Air2Sea typically doesn’t allow using frequent flyer miles or upgrades.

• Changes handled through cruise line: Modifications must go through Air2Sea, not directly with the airline.

• Airport restrictions: Air2Sea may only show flights to the main cruise-port airport, not nearby alternatives.
