**HELP** Booking a Cruise!!?

Question

I want to take a cruise with my friend this summer, but what are the best websites to use? I want to get a cheap price but I dont want it to be a hoax. Ever find anything in the summer thats under $500 a ticket? (I want a 5 or 7 day to Mexico- leaving from LA) Thanks!!! =)

Answer 1

I am subscribed to hotwire and i love getting all of these discounted prices right on my inbox.  I was just going thru some.  Try doing that too!

Answer 2

Call a travel Agent. It costs no more to book through them than if you hunt all over the web and find it yourself. Honest!! The cruise liners pay the Agent a booking fee, that is not passed on to you.

Cruises out of LA to Mexico are a simple product there aren't that many cruise lines that make that run.

Have fun! You can find something around $500.

Call the cruise line directly. An inside cabin is cheap.

We like the balcony but we didn't spend all of our time in the cabin.

Answer 6

I know that carnival cruiselines does a 7 day to the mexican rivera for about $800 all inclusive too! Out of LA then to San Diego. Im going to the caribbean cruise through Carnival for $850 allinclusive for 10 days in October. We went through a travel agent that we know. email me here and I can give you some contact info:

Answer 7

www.usairwaysvacations.com great deals the taxes are included in the price.

Answer 8

I've booked several cruises through www.cruiseweb.com.

Keith has taken EXCELLENT care of me and my travel companions.  He can sift through all the options (are you a night person that wants activities to the wee hours, something a bit more sedate? what is important to you for you to have the best time of it?)

A travel agent specializing in cruises can choose the right line for you to go on, know the best rooms that fit your budget and generally make life very simple.

For decent prices, www.vacationstogo.com have "last minute listings"  be aware though, from the experience my family has had, you get no feed back from them, no communication and basically provide little "service".

A good TA (travel agent) greatly simplifies your life.

If you live in a good size town/city, don't pass up the yellow pages for TA's that specialize in cruises.   They want to keep their local customers happy and prices may not vary much from what you can find online.

lastly, www.cruisecritic.com can give you a very convenient place to compare cruise lines, reviews of ships and may help you narrow your options.  you can book through them or take that information to your TA (again, don't forget Keith at cruiseweb!!!  he's just fantastic and we'll be using him yet again in the near future)

good luck and happy sailing!
