Cruise Secrets Revealed...

Did you Know?

Most cruise lines do not allow travel agents to advertise prices lower than the cruise lines offer to those who book

directly with the cruise line. However, some do allow travel agencies to discount by rebating part of the commissions, when dealing directly with a potential customer. If you are shopping the Internet for cruise prices, you're most likely going to find many travel sites quoting the same price. But, the price you're seeing on a travel agent's web site is not necessarily the best price that travel agency is able to offer you. To find out a travel agency's best price on a particular cruise, you should call them, or  e-mail them a request for a price quote. Most travel agencies have toll-free phone numbers. Don't hesitate to call or email them-- you could save a lot!

 

When times are good or not, travel agents

are your secret weapon!

When it comes to ferreting out bargains for your next cruise, whether to Alaska, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe or Mexico, or wherever, did you know your travel agent can do side-by-side cost and stateroom comparisons of over a dozen cruise lines at one time.

 
Form a Group. Save BIG!

Did you know the most overlooked way to stretch your dollar is to form your own cruise group. Traveling with family or friends, or both, can lower costs enough so you can travel even when the economies not that good. Of course, most of us don't have the time - or inclination - to make the calls and do the research for an entire group. It's a big job. On the other hand, booking a group cruise is easy for a professional travel agent. Your agent can create a package that works for you, while your group will realize across-the-board savings  from group discounts that your agent discovers.

Tip: cruise savings and avoid hurricanes.            Weather

According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association, the Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, but most storms occur from August to October, with September the most active. While there's no guarantee that a Caribbean cruise  August through October will be smooth sailing, your chances of being caught in a storm are less than you may think. And this time of the year, you will find the lowest cruise bargains around.

Want to avoid hurricanes no matter what? 

Visit Caribbean islands that are south of the hurricane zone such as Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, as well as

Trinidad and Tobago.

Did you know?

The Eastern Caribbean doesn't see as many hurricanes

 as the Western Caribbean.
