Where to find best price on cruises last min. to save $$$$$$$$
A few years back the cruise lines tried to get people into the mode of early
booking by promising bigger discounts & advertising that if you wait till the last few weeks the price will much more. I idea never caught on & most of the seasoned cruisers still waited until the last minute to book the best deals. Some people even packed bags & waited at the docks & hoped to sail on partially filled ships for a real deal. Since 9/11 those days are gone & I believe the earliest date for booking is now about 30 days or so. There are lots of good web sites to check prices mentioned in this NG or even check out the local newspapers for the specials. Try http://www.cruiseshopping.com/ for some specials. I've never found that booking a year in advance saves a lot of money. I wouldn't book 1 year out unless you have you heart set on a special ship or a specific cabin. If your schedule allows, the best deals are the ones faxed to the TA's almost on a daily basis but you've got to be flexible. "Mark Biernacki" wrote in message om... Ok, All you cruise gurus.
