Creator's Key Takeaways

ordinarily the cruise lines will put their pricing and their itineraries out about 18 months in advance not really more than two years unusually that would be so really ideally if you can book it six to nine months out at least

if you're not March break holidays definitely you've got a book ahead if you if you don't care if you just want to go on a seven day Caribbean cruise and you know you want to go in January then certainly you don't have to maybe book six to nine months ahead

often now the cruise lines are putting their best pricing out early you get an early booking discount and as you get closer sometimes space fills up the prices can go up so invariably you might get a better offer if you book further out

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Booking a cruise can be more complex than booking a land-based vacation: you may want to ensure a certain type or location of stateroom, you need to coordinate air to and from your ship. But you also want to get the best price and value. Vanessa Lee from Cruise and Travel Lifestyles magazine and Lynn Elmhirst of Ship2Shore.TV share insights.
