How to Find the Best Cruise Deals

Cruise Where the Supply of Ships Is High

Linda Garrison

The Caribbean continues to be the most popular cruise destination. There are dozens of ships sailing to the Caribbean each week. Therefore, competition among the cruise lines is high, and they are constantly offering better cruise deals for the Caribbean than for anyplace else in the world. Since North Americans do not have to travel as far to their embarkation port, the air cost is not as much as other cruise destinations.

 

Note that Europe is also a very popular destination, and the cruise season is year-round in some places like the Mediterranean. European cruises often cost about the same price per day as a Caribbean cruise. For Americans, the issue is the airfare, but for Europeans, the total cost can be less than the Caribbean.

Do Your Research

The Internet has opened the ability to do in-depth travel research to all who are willing to spend the time and effort. This time invested in researching cruise lines, cruise ships and cruise destinations will pay off with a better cruise vacation.

 

Even if you get a terrific cruise deal, it won't be worth it if the ship or ports of call don't meet your expectations. Check out the cruise lines' websites, read general tips on planning a cruise, read about the cruise ships and destinations, set your cruise budget, work with a travel agent, find a cruise that matches your interests, and GO!​
