Cruise lines offer extra perks in their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

Cruise lines add extra perks to sweeten their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. That’s good news for bargain hunters who may want free drinks or free specialty dining on their next sailing.

Here are some of what some cruise lines are offering during the post-Thanksgiving shopping blitz.

Celebrity Cruises

With Celebrity’s Black Friday deal, a deposit of $25 saves you a spot. You can save up to $600 on selected sailings, choose one free perk, and pay half the cost of third and fourth passengers in a cabin. For example, an April 6 cruise to the Western Caribbean with stops in Mexico and Grand Cayman starts at $549 per person, double occupancy, for an inside cabin. The deal ends Friday.
