Creator's Key Takeaways

March offers some of the best cruise weather you'll find all year. If you live in a colder climate, a March cruise can be exactly what you need.

If you can avoid the peak spring break weeks, there are still plenty of opportunities to find excellent cruise deals. Sometimes moving your sailing date by just 1 week can save you hundreds of dollars.

The biggest one is spring break. Depending on when you sail, cruise ships can be filled with families, college students, and kids who are out of school.

March remains one of our favorite months to cruise, especially if we're sailing the Caribbean.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Arrive at your cruise port at least one day before your sailing to avoid weather or flight delays.

✓Be flexible with departure dates to avoid peak spring break pricing.

✓Look for repositioning cruises in March for better value.

✓Pack layers if sailing in the Mediterranean or on repositioning itineraries.
