Getting to Port Everglades
✈️ Breeze Airways Flight Option
For families flying to the cruise, Breeze Airways currently serves Fort Lauderdale (FLL) from both Raleigh-Durham (RDU) and Wilmington (ILM). Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is the airport to search for Port Everglades.
Parent planning note: The cruise sails March 19–22, 2027. Airline schedules and fares can change, so check your exact travel dates directly with Breeze before booking. The Parent Hub does not list a fixed airfare.
Cruise Cost Planning
Cruise Cost & Room-Sharing Calculator
Choose the stateroom and the number of guests actually staying in it. The calculator uses Maximum's occupancy-specific cabin total, then adds the in-block athlete and spectator fees.
Important: Two adults + one child = triple occupancy. Age does not change which occupancy column is used for this group-rate sheet.
Tell us about your room
The calculator assumes Wolfpack families are using the Maximum room block: athlete registration $199 and spectator ticket $50. Spectator tickets are only needed for people attending Maximum-hosted competition/events.
Your estimate
Stateroom total$0.00
Separate event fees$0.00
Remaining room balance$0.00
Equal share per traveler$0.00
Estimated combined trip total$0.00
Combined total split among payers$0.00 each
Cabin-only split among payers$0.00 each
Maximum Pricing
Royal Caribbean stateroom costs.
These are total stateroom prices by occupancy, not prices per person. Maximum's pricing breakdown also confirms the maximum occupancy and the number of rooms listed as available when the sheet was shared.
Taxes & gratuities: Maximum confirmed that the listed stateroom totals include taxes and gratuities.
| Stateroom | Max | Double | Triple | Quad | 5 Occ | 6 Occ | # Avail |

Separate Competition Fees
In-block vs. out-of-block fees.
Maximum Room Block
| Fee | Price |
|---|---|
| Athlete registration | $199 |
| Coach registration | $75 2 coaches per team included |
| Spectator ticket | $50 |
Outside Maximum Room Block
| Fee | Price |
|---|---|
| Athlete registration | $299 |
| Coach registration | $200 |
| Spectator ticket | $200 |
Calculator note: The cruise calculator above uses the Maximum in-block fees because the cabin prices shown on this page are Maximum's group-room pricing.
Deposit Schedule
The $199 payments are per stateroom.
The four scheduled deposits total $796 per room. The remaining stateroom balance is due November 1, 2026. The calculator subtracts the number of $199 room payments you say have already been made.

How sharing works
Example: If three travelers share one room, Maximum still receives one $199 stateroom payment on each scheduled deposit date. The roommates decide how they want to divide that $199 among themselves.
Athlete registration and spectator tickets are shown separately because Maximum's pricing sheet lists them as separate event fees. This page does not assume those fees are part of the stateroom deposit schedule.
