Cruisers can expect major changes in 2026, and much of it comes from Royal Caribbean . In the short term, the cruise line has contacted guests with a generous offer due to overbooking a Thanksgiving sail . For cruisers who want to opt out of the cruise, they can enjoy some serious perks on another date instead.
That's a major positive for cruisers. However, looking ahead to 2026 and even to the end of 2025, there are unpopular changes on the horizon.
One of them includes a new Royal Caribbean beach club, which comes with added costs some cruisers didn't know about. This isn't just an added cost; it may cost families hundreds of dollars.
Here's a closer look at the upcoming change and how cruisers have reacted.
