Suzanne's Royal Caribbean Getaway

three ways to say yes to the sea

Allure of the Seas & Harmony of the Seas  ·  Caribbean  ·  Summer 2027

A Note From Erica

Suzanne, picture this — you, feet up on a private balcony, watching the Caribbean go by with absolutely nothing on the to-do list but sunscreen. I pulled three Royal Caribbean sailings for you, all Oasis Class ships (the biggest, boldest ships at sea), all with an ocean view balcony, so this really comes down to which itinerary and which week feels most like you. One quick note before you look at numbers: because you're sailing solo, I've quoted these as double-occupancy staterooms with a placeholder second guest rather than a true "solo" fare — more on exactly why below, it saves you real money. Below you'll find all three side by side: the ports, the pricing, the dates. These fares are tied to today's availability, so the sooner we lock one in, the sooner it's officially yours.

with so much love, Erica

A Quick Word, Just For You

Why These Are Priced "For 2"

Cruise lines build every fare around two people sharing a stateroom. Book that same room as a party of one and Royal Caribbean charges what's called a single supplement — often close to double the per-person rate, sometimes more, for the exact same cabin. So instead, I book your stateroom as double occupancy with a placeholder name held in the second berth — I'll call her your "ghost" — who simply never checks in. That placeholder is marked a no-show at sailing, and you sail solo in a room built for two. Every total below is already priced this way, and it comes out lower than booking you as a genuine solo traveler would.

Rate type: Guarantee / group pricing — great value, with your exact stateroom assigned by Royal Caribbean closer to sailing.
Your placeholder guest: I'll hold the second berth under a placeholder name at booking. She stays "on paper" through check-in and is marked a no-show — no ID, boarding, or luggage needed on her end. I'll flag her gratuities line at final payment so we can look at removing or covering it, whichever nets out better for you.

Before You Book

Good to Know

  • Solo Traveler Pricing: Every total above is booked as a double-occupancy stateroom with a placeholder second guest, not a true single fare. This is standard practice for solo cruisers because it's cheaper than the cruise line's single supplement — the placeholder guest is marked a no-show and never actually sails.
  • Final Payment: Due Apr 11, 2027 for Options 1 & 2, and May 2, 2027 for Option 3 (90 days before each sail date) — this covers the full stateroom total shown, both berths included.
  • Stateroom Assignment: Options 1–3 are guarantee / group ocean view balcony fares — Royal Caribbean assigns your exact stateroom number ahead of sailing, at this category or better.
  • Pricing & Availability: All three fares are subject to change until confirmed.
