The other thing about booking it through the cruise line is that when you book it, the payment for the air is due when you make the final cruise payment. That's if you only make a deposit. It you book the air through other travel agencies or with the airline, you have to make the payment when you book it.

Yes.....I book air. Almost always on the Cruise line website. I want to book seats of my choice. Also it is almost always cheaper through the Line. Plus I can keep checking for lower costs and make a change easily.

You can always binge watch "The Love Boat."

Thanks for the replies. We sailed on Star Princess out of San Francisco to Hawaii a few years ago. I booked the Royal on Jan 31 and booked our flights on Princess also. Looking forward to 10 days away from winter here in Minnesota in February.

Which of these will most likely have less kids going to the Mexican Rivera in January or February? Carnival Panorama out of Los Angeles or Royal Princess out of San Francisco? Our 50th anniversary cruise.
