Been looking for a cruise deal today but instead of a deal the prices increased. Royal Caribbean has increased it's prices since last month.
Maybe tomorrow for (Travel Tuesday) if that is actually a thing.

Vacationstogo (,com) claims to have some deeply discounted cruises= including RCCL- for some days around Black Friday. I don't know about Tuesday.
 
The better specials don't really start hitting until "Wave Season" which is after the start of the new year. What you learn after a while of following cruise line sales is each subsequent sale is just some other method of marketing the product to get to the same or very similar price as the last sale. Like this week it might be $150 off where next week it is get a $150 OBC. The net result is usually within a few dollars.
 
I have found you can get some store gift cards or credits booking your cruise through the big box clubs like BJs travel or Costco. I have had success booking via BJs travel and then getting a BJs warehouse gift card. The two times I went that route the price booked and the amenities (OBC, prepaid gratuities, etc.) were the same being offered on the RCCL and Carnival site not including the BJs gift card received after the cruise. So for a 7 night cruise I paid the published sale rate at the time and then got a bonus gift card to shop with.
 
I’ve found Cruise.com “special” rates that are up 1/2 off of rccl book direct rates, and even rccl’s “onboard booking offer,” which was $1200 more. If you know what you want and have done your research for cabins selection, ship’s pros/cons, it can be a good deal. I use a cruise.com agent vs just booking online. He’ll link dining for multiple cabins, etc.
