Favorite Search Engine for Cruises?

[payn0045]

Curious which search engines people like for comparing cruise rates? (Still just scoping things out, so not really ready to connect with an agent...)

 

There are a few features I'd love to find in the same place in a perfect world:

 

1) Date range that goes across more than one month (ie: Jan-Feb 2016)

 

2) Balcony room prices shown in search results

 

3) Search for 5-6 day cruises, rather than just 3-5 or 6-9 (3-4 day is too short, but probably don't have time for 7+)

 

4) Ability to exclude cruises going to specific ports of call (ones I've already been to, mainly)

 

Some of these I haven't seen anywhere, so I'm certainly not expecting to find them all on one site if any, but thought I'd put it out there to get any tips some of you cruising pros may have!

Don't know of any site that do this that aren't TA's. There is one that many people use but can't mention the name on thias forum.

I've found it best just to search on each individual cruise line site.

A box store that does travel has an interface like that that includes many mass market lines. You do not have to be a member to perform the search, but you may need to be to see certain pricing.
