The best time to book...

Published 2 months ago • 2 min read

Book too early? The price may fall. Leave it too late? You may miss out completely! Knowing when to book a cruise can be tricky.

Generally speaking the cheapest time to book a cruise is as far in advance as possible (2-3 years sometimes) or last minute (60-90 days before the cruise).

At the 60-90 days pre-cruise mark there can be some great deals because this is when the cruise lines need the full payment from other guests, so they know for sure how many cabins they have to sell. It’s always a risk though, there could be no cabins left or no price drops.

SAFETY:

It is a well-known fact that the Titanic didn’t hold enough lifeboats to hold all of the passengers onboard.

Why would she? the White Star Line said she was “unsinkable.”

Luckily everything is different now.

MONEY-SAVING CRUISE TIP OF THE WEEK:

If you want to buy a drinks package for a cruise, book it before you get on board. It's always cheaper!

DESTINATIONS:

When cruising the Mediterranean you can be in a different country every day.

You can just enjoy your time onboard, wake up somewhere new – and go out and explore!

If you are taking a cruise you might be wondering if it’s worth buying a drinks package, I usually don’t and in this article, I will explain why.

CRUISE LINES:

If you are taking a cruise on a big cruise ship from either Royal Caribbean or MSC you might be wondering how they compare.

I spent a week on MSC World Europa and Symphony of the Seas, both cruising the Mediterranean from Barcelona.

Hey hey hey! This winter has been long and cold hasn't it? I'm convinced I'm sun-powered like a lizard, and that's why I booked a last-minute break onboard Celebrity Infinity. 🌤️🕶️I've just got home and I can confirm, the sun does still exist. Greece is keeping it for a while longer though! 😂☀️ Infinity is a little ship built in the year 2000 and I loved my time on her. I was so lucky that just by pure chance, I was docked by the brand-new Sun Princess in Athens. My friend Don managed to get...
