Creator's Key Takeaways

I have six cruises booked I'm I'm pretty in tune with the cruise industry

the cruises are not yet on sale they're it will say it hey well 60% off the ones that I'm looking at

what is on sale and there is stuff on sale Royal we'll talk about Royal Caribbean first the biggest the I I think celebrity has some really good sales going on right now but it's it's the excursions

if you know what the Target price is and for me if it's around $2,500 for a week on a balcony boom I'm booking it because that is right around $100 per person per day

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check excursion prices during Black Friday sales for potential 30-50% discounts
Compare internet package pricing: booking two separate plans can be cheaper than adding a second device
Know your target price per person per day (e.g., $100 for balcony) before booking
