When is the best time
to cruise?
-
For the Caribbean the best time for great
weather and smaller crowds would be April-May and September-January (excluding
holiday weeks)
-
Prices are lower than the peak season, which
runs June-August, and Thanksgiving/Christmas Weeks.
-
Fall is often the best time to get last-minute
cruise deals.
-
Hurricane Season is June-October, so your cruise
could be re-routed if you run into bad weather.
-
Other destinations like Hawaii, Europe, Alaska
and South America have their own high and low seasons
When is the best time
to book?
-
November is a great time to book for last minute
Fall Cruises
-
Wave Season is January-March when the cruise
lines offer some fantastic promotions.
What is the best
ship?
This depends on the experience you want.
-
Princess Cruise Line offers Small Ships that are
more intimate and go to some lesser known ports. This is great for a quiet
romantic vacation with options for personalized shore excursions and unique
experiences.
-
Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean are
offering mega ships with everything from Skydive simulators, onboard ziplines,
ropes courses, ice bars, bowling alleys, endless dining options and incredible
entertainment. These ships also have some of the best children’s programs at
sea.
-
Disney Cruise Line offers something for
everyone. They have an adults-only area for relaxation time, Disney Character
experiences onboard and top-notch entertainment.
