Qm2 - who gives the best deals for transatlantic round trips?

[snoozy]

My partner and I travelled Westbound transatlantic on the QM2 last summer, this was our first ever cruise. We had a B1 stateroom with balcony. The whole experience was fantastic and want to do it again.

 

We have been looking at the various offers for a round trip transatlantic starting in Southampton this May or June but are finding the various pricing structures and offers very confusing - many different cruise companies offering different deals.

 

Could anyone please recommend how to ensure we get the best deal available? Booking with Cunard looks more expensive, are there any benefits of booking directly with them? What are your experiences of booking early or late on transatlantic?

 

As I have only one cruise so far under my belt, your help and comments would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks

:)
