Here a few simple tips for getting the best price on your cruise:

1. Cruise when most kids are in school. As less demand equal lowers prices, cruise when other cant.2. Book either far in advance or at the last-minute (i.e., 3-6 weeks out)—as these are the times when the best deals can be found.

3. Surf the web for deals. This will help you the sailings with the lowest demand, but dont buy at the price advertised. As cruise lines only let agencies promote retail prices, you can do better.

4. Once you find a sailing you like, you need to get custom quotes directly from agents. You can contact each agency yourself, or you can put a quote request into CruiseCompete and let the agents come to you with their best offers.5. When you compare offers, always make sure youre comparing apples-to-apples. While all CruiseCompete quotes include all charges to make them easy to compare, many sites dont add all charges until the final booking screen. Also, consider the value of onboard credit provided for your cruise especially on Royal Caribbean-owned lines. An extra $100 in your onboard account is just as good as a $100 discount off of your cruise fare.
