I normally take 3 cruises per year but with the increased prices that will decline to 2 this year. How do you mitigate the price increases?
- book early ie. 6 to 9 months before the cruise as the cruise lines will decrease prices if bookings are not where they need to be
- watch the cruise’s you like and track the price of the cabin you want. I have saved several hundred this year
- do transatlantic or repositioning as they are cheaper
- downgrade your cabin type from balcony
- book your shore excursions and internet when they are on sale pre cruise
- watch for obc’s or other savings, like free gratuities
- ask your travel agent for an obc
- book longer vacations and use your cruise to spend time in a new city. you can get good deals on city add ons
- make sure you get your stockholders benefit
- watch for air sales
Hope this helps
