Creator's Key Takeaways

The earlier you book, the better, and that's just hands down. They usually say anywhere from 6 to 18 months, but really you can go all the way up to two years out.

Wave season basically takes place in the months of January to March and that is when basically you know after the holiday season these cruise lines give out these nice rates.

Anything that you can pre purchase prior to going on your cruise, make sure you do that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book your cruise 6 to 24 months in advance for the best rates.
✓Take advantage of wave season (January to March) for deals.
✓Choose a cabin location based on motion sensitivity and noise levels.
✓Pre-purchase dining, drink, Wi-Fi, and excursion packages to save money.
✓Purchase travel insurance to protect your investment.
