Best time to book a so carribean cruise

[snorkler]

I WANT TO GO TO THE SOUTHERN CARRIBEAN IN EITHER JANUARY OR FEBRUARY 2010 ON THE NOORDAM AND WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BOOK NOW OR SHOULD I WAIT A WHILE AND HOPE FOR A BETTER RATE??? I'M AFRAID IF I WAIT TOO LONG IT WILL BE TOO LATE:confused:

If you have a certain category cabin in mind, you may wish to book now. It is very difficult to predict what the prices will do.

Snorkler,

 

If you should happen to choose the February 3 sailing, check out the roll call board. We would be happy to have you join us. The Noordam is a wonderful ship.

I sailed on the Noordam last January. Booked in July, and watched to see if the fare for my category (VD) would come down. It never did. Checked the other day for a cruise on the same dates for next year, and the fare is virtually the same. I would book now, as there is less chance of getting fab last-minute deals for January/February than for November or December.
