If you've been holding out on making Cruise Planner purchases for your upcoming Royal Caribbean vacation, now might be the time to finally pull the trigger.
The cruise line's "Sun's Out Sale's On" promotion offers some of the lowest prices of the season on CocoCay add-ons, namely admission to the adult-only Hideaway Beach.
You'll have to act fast, though. According to the terms and conditions, the sale applies to purchases made through July 14, 2026, on select voyages departing from July 10, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
Even if you've already bought your Perfect Day at CocoCay add-ons, this sale is a good opportunity to review your bookings, as Royal Caribbean allows guests to cancel eligible purchases and rebook them at the lower price before their sailing.
Hideaway Beach for as low as $43.99 per person
One of the most popular add-ons at CocoCay is Hideaway Beach. This adult-only enclave is available to guests 18+ and features an infinity-edge pool with a swim-up bar, exclusive dining options, hammocks, and more.
During the "Sun's Out Sale's On" promotion, select sailings are seeing day passes to Hideaway Beach for as low as $43.99 per person.
On an upcoming voyage aboard Odyssey of the Seas, for example, the onboard price is listed at $89 per person.
With the current discount, however, the price drops to just $43.99 per person —a savings of more than 50% compared to the onboard rate!
That said, prices vary by sailing and demand. On another upcoming voyage on Utopia of the Seas, the onboard rate for Hideaway Beach is advertised at $99 per person.
With the 50% discount, the "Sun's Out Sale's On" promotion brings the price of Hideaway down to $48.99.
Regardless, paying less than $50 for Hideaway Beach is definitely a steal. Day passes often cost upwards of $70, depending on the sailing, so seeing prices dip this low is pretty uncommon.
For example, I paid $51.68 per person when I visited Hideaway Beach in April 2024. Another travel writer paid over $80 per person when they visited in February 2025.
Other add-ons worth checking out during the sale

Don't worry if the website is slow
If you're planning to take advantage of the sale, don't be surprised if the Cruise Planner website is slower than usual.
Both Royal Caribbean Blog's Head Honcho, Matt Hochberg, and I experienced frustrating delays while browsing the Cruise Planner on Tuesday, July 14.
This isn't surprising, though, as major promotions tend to drive a surge in traffic, and it is common for pages to load slowly.
If that happens during your time on the Cruise Planner website, be patient. Don't immediately try to refresh the page, as repeatedly reloading can interrupt the process and cause it to start over.
Alternatively, you can call Royal Caribbean at 1-800-398-9819 for assistance with making pre-cruise purchases. However, keep in mind that wait times may also be longer than usual during the sale.
