Wow, over 2 years! I can't imagine booking that far out since I don't even know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

Heidi13 and anybody else, out of curiosity, why book so far in advance? I have seen it many times, even in this thread.

If it locks in a great deal or considering inflation right now (in the US at least) it might save money in the long run, I get it.

Is it to get the "right" cabin? 

Something to look forward to for 2 years?

 

Again, just curious. I think the longest I waited was maybe 5 months...

Our preferred cruise line, routinely sells out cruises over a year in advance and prices tend to increase, not decrease. Since we booked in early December 2020, our cabin has increased $12,000 pp. and some of the benefits were reduced.

 

Although a few cabins have now opened, the cruise was fully booked in about 3 months, or 22 to 23 months before departure.

 

Yes, booking a preferred cabin is also a factor in booking early.

Thank you for the insight. I figured it was something along those lines.

One of these years we will book a cruise worthy of selling out years in advance. 

For now, we just enjoy the mass market 3, 4, or 7 days away from work!

Haha!! "Work" that's one of those 4-letter words that shouldn't be used in polite company.

 

Hoping you get to enjoy a longer cruise in retirement.

It's back to back. 3Nights followed by 10, so I see it as 1 trip.
