Creator's Key Takeaways

the answer to your question is it has less to do with when you book as how early you book your cruise

a drink package can absolutely positively save you money it just depends on how much you drink per day

all the ships in the fleet are great and I wouldn't hesitate to sail on or recommend any of them

do not use online reviews as a means of determining what is a good or bad ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book your cruise as early as you can to lock in great prices
✓Check if you can take advantage of repricing up to the final payment date
✓Evaluate if you drink enough to make a drink package worthwhile
✓Consider the Key as a splurge, not a necessity
✓Check the ship's features before booking to ensure they match your expectations
✓Arrive at the cruise terminal around 11 a.m. to board early and avoid the rush

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Worry about getting the best deal on a cruise — Book as early as possible, up to 9-15 months ahead, and check for repricing options
Uncertainty about whether a drink package is worth the cost — Calculate if you can drink 5-6 drinks per day every day of the cruise
Confusion about check-in times — Your assigned time is a suggestion; arrive around 11 a.m. to board early
