AF2010 Posted June 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hello! I'm new to cruise critic and this website has been the absolute best! :D I just got off the Jewel a few weeks ago and was wondering for future cruises, what's the best time of the year to book? Like when are the best deals avaliable? Any help would be great, I can't wait to book the next cruise! -aimee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJH1 Posted June 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I don't think there is any specific time frame. Some people including myself book well in advance in order to get cabin selection, then watch for any price adjustments along the way up to final payment which is 75 days prior to sail date and then call to get price adjustment or on board credit. This works well for us. Others will wait till final payments are made and then watch for price drops on whats left. This works for some including those that live not far from cruise prier. However for others what you save on cruise price you will end up paying for your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms belp Posted June 28, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We used to continually look at the NCL website for good deals which fit into our budget. Heck, I guess we still do. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years cruises tend to be the highest priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalgirl Posted June 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Wave season in Dec/Jan has some specials, but what I do is subscribe to several online cruise websites, and get their weekly specials/deals, etc. These alerts you to sales, specials, deals, etc. And its always fun to browse:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Thanks for all the help. I'm going to keep an eye out on price and may book in December or so. Thinking about Alaska sometime next year :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
