Creator's Key Takeaways

Wave season is when everybody wants to get out of where they're at and book a trip to someplace warm

The more time you give us, the more time we can get. Don't get me wrong, three weeks we can we can do what you're gonna pay

Loyalty status with any cruise line will get you two things. It will get you one discount on drink packages depending on the line or two extra free drinks be it alcoholic or non-alcoholic per day.

We want the money in your pocket, not in the cruise lines pocket because if it's in your pocket, you'll book another cruise and then we get more commission from them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book your cruise as early as possible, ideally more than a year out, to get the best promotions and pricing.
✓Use a knowledgeable travel agent to watch for price drops and apply promotions after booking.
✓Consider wave season (early year) as the best time to book and deposit for future cruises.
✓For Norwegian, get the $500 cruise first certificate for $250 before it expires.
✓If you're a regular NCL cruiser, consider buying multiple certificates to use for future deposits.
