Where can I find the best price for a cruise?

Question

What website (s) have better than average prices for cruises?

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

I wouldn't say any website has better pricing than a travel agent.  I have researched and booked cruises for clients.  Most times I save my clients money and time.  I always check my prices against the internet sites.  I have yet to find where my price was higher than any internet site.  My philosophy is to find the best cruise for the longest time for the least money with the best customer service.  If by using a travel agent, you save money, save time and save stress, isn't it worth it?  It doesn't cost you anything and saves you everything.

Answer 4

I live in Florida and a cruise per day cost is less than Disney, ans i like a good price and I have looked and Carnival is the best price there is.

of course that is timing to, summer and spring are expensive no mater where you look, the best time I find of go is between Sept and Dec on the eastern or western cruises.

have been on both, one out of port Canaveral on the Fantasy a 4 night (that is a different ship now same class) and the other out of Tampa on the Inspiration a 5 night

and we have another booked on the Glory this Sept too out of port Canaveral a 7 night

on all of these we could not of gotten a better price than Carnival, and I would suggest going directly through them, you have the chance at upgrades even after you book, such as we have always only paid the lowest price and have been upgraded to the empress deck twice and the upper once

Answer 5

I always book through a personal vacation planner at Carnival.  Use the same one every time.  I have checked, and the prices he gets me are always at least as low as any of the cruise sites.  In fact, for four of us, he usually comes in about $100 less than anyplace else I found.  I usually check them while my wife is on the phone with him.  And he gets me better upgrades.  He also guarantees that if the price goes down before the final payment is due, then he will match it.  And if a better upgrade comes along, he will get it for me.  I was upgraded from Riviera to Emperor deck once, and did not even know it until I received the boarding pass.  I always pay for the cheapest inside room, and get the best room in grade for the same price.  He got me a seven day western Caribbean for less than $60/ day.  Can't beat that.   If you would like his number, e-mail me, and I will send it to you.

Answer 6

Book directly through the cruiseline website...such as carnival.com.   That way you are cutting out the middleman

Answer 7

Pick the date and ship you want then go to

www.cruisecompete.com  

request a quote and you'll get a ton of offers

best one is usually Cruises-N-More

Answer 8

I agree cruisecompete.com. A must when checking prices.

Answer 9

Try ebay.  I just bought mine from these people:

http://stores.ebay.com/Luxurious-Journey...

We're going on the new Royal Carib. Liberty of the Seas.  They beat out everyone's prices, even cruisecompete, by over $200 per person!!!

DON"T go to the cruise lines direct.  It's not in their best interest to get you the best deal.  And "cutting out the middleman" is totally innacurate.  The cruise lines to not DISCOUNT anything.  They just keep the commission they wouldnormally pay a travel agent, for themselves.

Good luck to you!!! and Enjoy!!!

Answer 10

vacationstogo.com. Use the custom search option and it will narrow down your choices to what works for you. I used them for my last cruise and they were great. If the price goes down just call them and they will adjust the price for you.

Answer 11

you can try here too:  1Cheapcruise.com

BTW - if you book directly with a cruise line you will overpay.

I can GUARANTEE that!
