Cheapest Time to Cruise?


Recommended Posts

In general, when is the cheapest time to book a cruise to the Caribbean (i.e. non peak or off season time)?

We've found good prices just after the end of summer, right after Thanksgiving, and right after New Year's.

For Caribbean I have found best deals:

mid-late September

October

first 2 weeks of December

January

February- except last week.

 

I have cruised in April and early to Mid May and prices are not terrible, but not as cheap as the other times. WE like that time though because its warmer (and we often drive to port so no weather concerns) and our anniversary is in May (along with my birthday). DD's school gets out early (May 10 this year) so if we go in mid May, we can make sure she does not miss school and get better prices than summer.

 

IMO the most expensive times I have seen are:

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years weeks

Last week of February

Last week or so of March

Easter week

After Memorial through the end of summer
