A first for me

[G&TQ]

I have never booked a year out until last night. I booked for Mar 2019. So I now have two booked. I guess I am a cruise addict now. Finally get to cruise with my BFF and God son. Can't wait!!!!!

 

Smooth water and full sails.

Congratulations.

 

It's fun to have cruises to look forward to.

We are now cruising to see the world and have found we need more time to research and plan.

 

As a result we often have 3-4 booked

Must be nice to book that far out. I always pay a premium for my cruises as I can not ask for time off no more than 6 weeks in advance. 4 years when I retire I can start book a year or more in advance.

Another "plus" booking so far in advance is the price you pay. I booked a cruise last January for a cruise in April, 2018. So far, my VS cabin has gone up $600.

I realize there are only ten of these suites, so maybe scarcity pushes the price up.:confused:

Good for you! We also book far in advance too to secure our preferred cabin.

Nice thing about retiring is your not limited to 7 day cruises.

Exactly. Can book B2B's 10 day, 2 weeks, 21 days or even longer. When doing the b2B's we also save on the airfare as it takes but 1 RT rather than 2.

 

I'm jealous of people who can cruise Asia for months at a time!

 

OP, enjoy your wait time!

I always book one year out. I plan to book my January 2019 cruise as soon as I return from my January 2018 cruise.

Even my cabin for my January 2028 cruise that I booked this past January is now averaging between $100-200 more!

Oops! Fat fingers! 2018!! 😂😂

I booked my July 2018 cruise in January 2017. I am hoping to book another one for later in 2018.

You are not the only one.

I like to book way far out too ... get the best deals I have found! Plus better cabins and time to research excursions (I rarely buy Carnival's excursions). I have Jan 20, 2018 on Magic, September 17th on RCCL Harmony of the Seas, and January 17, 2019 on Magic (Will Turn Platinum on that cruise, YAAA!!)

 

I have to have cruises to look forward to lol.
