BeccaBecca1713 Posted September 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've started cruising in October d/t cheaper prices. Usually mid September the fares start going down cause that's when hurricane season is most active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelo7 Posted September 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Middle September to Middle December skipping Thanksgiving. Than January to early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need-A-Vacay Posted September 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Agree. We have always done fall (Sept - Oct) and prices are cheaper than any other time unless you book a last minute special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA Dutchman Posted September 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2011 We find it cheaper in Jan and Feb for balconys, unless its a players club deal. Depends on where you want to go and what ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted September 16, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I find the cheapest between Thanksgiving and Christmas because most others are getting for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcguy9 Posted September 16, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Actually, it seems like when kids are out of school, prices are double compared to when kids are in school. That is obviously a generalization but a good rule of thumb. When kids are out of school, the prices soar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethepirate Posted September 17, 2011 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The cheapest time to cruise seems to be the first two weeks in December. I read the question as about when to book it. I guess you wait for pack and go one to two months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairtexan Posted September 17, 2011 #15 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Ditto on the 1st 2 weeks of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually sail first two weeks of Dec annually and seem to find great rates. Enjoy your cruise all...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMastell Posted September 17, 2011 #17 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It depends on where you are cruising. The Caribbean is generally less expensive from mid-September through mid-December. Then it also comes down to demand. If a cruise isn't selling it will be discounted so last minute deals are more likely. If you are cruising Europe then it is Fall. If you are cruising Asia then it is late Spring but these cruises are few and far between. Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
