Starting just after midnight on Black Friday, Nov. 26 and run until midnight on the following Saturday, Nov. 27. Instant winners will be "shipped" onto their choice of a Royal Caribbean cruise anywhere from the Caribbean to Alaska to the California coast. Along with choosing their destination, winners will select their time onboard, with sailings from two to seven days on offer.

To pre-register for the giveaway, guests are encouraged to sign up now on Royal Caribbean's site to ensure they are reminded before the event gets underway. Guests can register by going to royalfreeshipping.com and entering their name and email to get started.

Sometimes the best gifts cannot be wrapped (or shipped), and Royal Caribbean International hopes to provide winners with the gift of a cruise — guaranteed to arrive on time.

The giveaway begins at 12:01 a.m., ET on Nov. 26 and will run for a full 24-hour period, awarding one free cruise per minute. The giveaway is open to legal residents of the U.S. who are currently residing in one of the 50 states or Washington, D.C
