On Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas, the RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator typically offers both free (complimentary) and paid (premium) sessions, but availability varies by itinerary. For 2026 sailings, the complimentary sessions are usually 1 minute long and are mostly offered on "port days" when the ship is docked. These free slots are highly coveted and often disappear within minutes of the booking window opening on the Royal Caribbean app. To ensure every guest has a chance to try it, Royal Caribbean also offers "Paid Sessions" (roughly $30–$50) which provide a longer, 2-minute flight time and are more readily available on "sea days." These paid sessions often include more personalized instruction and are better for those who want to avoid the "hunger games" of booking a free slot. If skydiving is a priority for your 2026 cruise, the best strategy is to log into the app as soon as you are on the ship's Wi-Fi—or even better, pre-book a slot in the "Cruise Planner" weeks before you embark.
