Okay you SMARTIES, what is the most you ever SAVED on a cruise???

[KKB]

I cannot wait until I am totally time flexible...gonna get the BEST deals!

Of course those of you w/in driving distance to ports have a serious advantage!

 

I feel good about all our cruises. We have paid about $500 for 7 day Caribbean, interiors. First one booked GTY and were upgraded to exterior.

We have gotten OBC & free goodies on each cruise thru TA special.

 

First cruise got air KC-FLL for about $125 RT!!! (only 4 years ago)

This upcoming cruise I booked Midwest Express for $200RT OMA-FLL; that flight cost has gone up to $475pp!!!

 

Booked Embassy Suites on hotwire for $100/Sheraton for $75 for first cruise. Unfortunately ES isn't on hotwire anymore, so will pay about $150.

 

These are not quite the exceptional deals I see above, but within our central landlocked status and our needing to plan months ahead, I am very pleased with our deals (I am always on the lookout!)

Sounds to me like you did very well. Congratulations from another landlocked area of Ohio.

This next one in Oct. is the one Im saving on now by $200. We are going with a group and this year we are doing an ocean view. It's $200 cheaper.

I don't think I would book a cruise from a discount website. Their prices are no better, really.

So, I would say find a good TA, or deal direct with the line. Prices will be comparable, no matter what anyone else tells you. .

 

Aren't you a TA?
