Timing for Transatlantic deals

[solasol]

I plan on a Transatlantic cruise in April 2015. When is the best time to purchase?

Are 90 days before departure cutting it too close?

I want a good deal.

Thanks:):cool:

Transatlantic are usually good deals to start with. I wouldn't wait, but that's just me.

When you find a price you like, book it.

 

That said, we've done 3 TA's and have booked within 90 days on all three--got some great deals. But, we weren't going to be upset if we didn't find a cruise. If you have to have a certain time, ship, itinerary, cabin, etc. book sooner.

 

If you are flexible and can accept the possibility of not finding a deal, or not taking the cruise, wait. Often (but not always) prices go down after final payment dates.

 

We almost always book 2-3 months out; finding the right airfare can be problematic, but it has always worked for us with FF miles.

Crossings have become very popular.

 

I would not wait as typical the lowest priced rooms and those with the best locations within each category and the highest price suites go first.

Remember that a Transatlantic is cruise + airfare. Last minute cheap usually means high airfare.

And inquire about airfare through the cruise line. We have done TA's on Princess and Celebrity and Cunard and I could not even come close to the airfare on my own compared to what they offered .

It would not be bad to book now, but keep checking for a price drop. lock in your cabin.
