No interior price for this trip right now

Royal Caribbean has no interior cabin to sell on every leg, so we show no total rather than guess one. Cabins are sometimes released again, so check back before you decide.

  • Leg 1: interior cabins have been sold out since Oct 26, 2026, other cabins are still on sale
  • Leg 2: interior cabins are on sale

Next best: a ocean view cabin is on sale on both legs, $3,338 for 2 guests ($1,669 per person). That is a different cabin than the interior cabin every other total on this site uses, so do not compare the two.

The lowest-priced back-to-back from Port Canaveral that has a fare today is 9 nights from Nov 9, 2026, $1,513 for 2 guests.

Turnaround day

  • Mon, Dec 21 · Port Canaveral: leg 1 arrives 7 AM, leg 2 leaves 4 PM.

Leg 1 is on Explorer of the Seas and leg 2 is on Utopia of the Seas, so you change ship once, on day 6, at the same terminal. You still avoid a flight home in the middle, but you do pack when the ship changes.

More about this trip

What we know about this trip

Leg 1 calls at Cozumel, Puerto Costa Maya. Leg 2 calls at Perfect Day CocoCay, Nassau. No port repeats between the two legs, so each stop is a new place.

Leg 1 (Dec 16, 2026): over 45 days of tracked fares the lowest was $378 and the average $512 per person. Leg 2 (Dec 21, 2026): over 46 days of tracked fares the lowest was $598 and the average $699 per person.

Getting to Port Canaveral: Orlando International (MCO), about 45 minutes west.

Prices last checked Oct 26, 2026, 6:20 PM Pacific. They are refreshed on a schedule, not live, so confirm a price with Royal Caribbean before you book. The total is the lowest interior cabin for 2 guests sharing, cruise fare plus taxes and port fees, for both legs combined, with the per person figure beside it, and fares move constantly. Each fare is Royal Caribbean's price per person for two guests sharing a cabin; it prices a guest travelling alone and a third or fourth guest differently, so check the exact total on its booking page. Royal Caribbean treats these as two separate reservations. Ask for them to be linked as a consecutive cruise when you book, and request the same stateroom if you want one.
