Cruise scheduling experts step in

Hello all

Imy fiancé and I are getting married early June 2015 and we would like to go on a cruise for our honeymoon.

 

My question is , when lines release their schedule is it by month or weekly? I know the can only schedule so far in advance. When should I start looking?

 

 

Thank you all for your help

Most cruise lines will be releasing their schedules for most of 2015 over the next 4 months or so.

The cruise lines release their cruises a year at a time, starting in March for the Caribbean cruises and around April/May for the European ones.

Whatever you choose consider flying in at least the day before your cruise. In 25 years it won't matter one iota that you postponed your honeymoon by a few days.

Also dependant on the area you wish to cruise in. I have booked as far out as 18 months and always at least a year out. I book the day a cruise opens up if its one I want to go on. We are very specific about our cabin and on the Princess ships we sail on there are only 6-8 suites we are interested in. You will find that the most expensive and the cheapest cabins on a ship tend to go first. For our upcoming cruise in April all of the suites were gone 14 months out from sailing date.

Thank you for all the info. We are either looking at a southern Caribbean cruise probably to Aruba.

 

Our last cruise was on carnivals southern route out of Puerto Rico to st lucia. We really loved that trip.
