Creator's Key Takeaways

Wave Season is here (Jan 1 - March 31), and cruise lines are rolling out their best offers of the year.

I saw a lot of last minute stuff I want you to know right now I was looking at a number of different cruise lines on inside cabins I saw as low as under $130 per cabin per day for two people.

We've been on a lot of these cruises I think 50 or so at this point and going up every year rapidly.

Book early if you can because it's got to be popular a lot of cabins are going to be booked up so book early.

βœ“Book through a cruise-only travel agent for additional discounts or onboard credits.
βœ“Look for reduced deposits, risk-free bookings, and bundled perks during wave season.
βœ“Be flexible with your schedule to maximize deals.
βœ“Understand the fine print and policies before booking.
βœ“Book shore excursions and flights early to save money.

Not understanding deposit refundability. β€” Always understand the fine print; usually the cruise line will let you move the deposit to another booking.
