How To Find Discount Cruises...Several Tips and Tricks

Do you want to take a discount cruise but your not sure how to get great prices and discounts? Question? are you looking for the absolutely best and cheapest or do you want to take a great, enjoyable trip without emptying your bank account? If so, here are a few ways you can take that fantastic ocean vacation at a discount and price you can afford:

You should check out sites on the internet to see what kind of discounts they have from the various cruise lines. There are many site that gathers the information from the ship lines about many vacations (including Royal Caribbean and Celebrity) which will enable you to select the deals that are just right for you. You're sure to find great discounts there!

A second alternative to find great discounts are to get several of your closest friends (of course, those who also want to take a ship vacation) and make a reservation for everyone at the same time. Many lines offer discount cruises on multiple passenger reservations. Find out what their reservation discount number is and then get that many people to go. Once you've booked with the ship's company, you can split the discount between your friends in order for everyone to get a great discount.

Another option for fantastic discount cruises is to simply book a shorter trip or book a reservation with a line that is not as well known. For example, you may want to avoid the med option or the popular trips for a less-popular (but equally as enjoyable choice). For instance, a Mississippi River sail or a Yangtze or Nile trip. Or, if you just want to get a way for a shorter period of time consider a dinner sunset excursion, available in many towns and cities near the water.

If you don't want to downgrade to a smaller or less popular vacation consider calling up one of the ship lines toll free numbers to speak to one of their vacation planners. They can book a reservation and they'll also be able to tell you if there are any discounts or cheap rates available. Be sure to ask them about any 3 day excursions they may offer as a deal, instead of making a reservation for a full week, just take a shorter vacation, you get the same discount cruises experience at a more affordable price!

Probably the best way to get discounts is to make a reservation at the very last minute. Just like hotels, airplanes, and car rentals, ocean going lines need to have a certain number of bookings on their ship or else the trip will cost them money.

To help solve this problem, they provide discounts, often increasing the discount the closer the time gets to the departure date. True, this won't work for every travel vacationer, especially those who like to have their reservations and work holidays lined up months in advance; but if you want to get discount cruises, this is one of the best ways to go, especially if you're able to leave on a moment's notice.
