Creator's Key Takeaways

you want to be flexible with your cruise dates now this is by far the most important rule to how much you'll pay for a cruise

don't think that there's some sort of magic site that miraculously has lower prices than anywhere else

don't think you're gonna save a lot of money by sailing at the last minute

you do want to sail on older ships if you want to find the cheaper deals

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be flexible with your cruise dates to get the best price
Don't search multiple sites expecting lower prices; they're usually the same
Don't expect last-minute discounts; book in advance instead
Don't get distracted by cruise line sales; focus on the bottom-line price
Sail on older ships for cheaper deals
Choose your room carefully and do the math on upgrades
