1. If you’re 55 or
older, you can get senior citizen discounts.
2. If you belong to American
Automobile Association or American Association Of Retired Persons, you
can get a discount.
3. “Buy One-Get
One” fares are often offered. You buy your ticket and bring another
person along for the ride. Or better yet, split the cost of the fare and you
both travel at a 50% discount.
4. Added Value or Free
Days. You book a 7-day cruise and get 3 days free or free shore excursions,
as well as pre or post cruise hotel rooms.
5. Flat fare specials
are one fixed price for the best available cabin at the time of booking.
6. Share a cabin with
friends, another couple or two family members and you could easily end up cruising
for free. This fare package can also be cut four ways - reducing the
burden on all. You will be sleeping in head over bunks that are comfortable,
so consider this strategy. Just make sure everyone gets along.
7. You should check into airfares at reduced rates offered by
your cruise line to get you to your embarkation site.
8. How about an upgrade?
Better cabins, discounted certificates, 10-40 percent savings off advertised
prices may all be offered by your cruise
line through
their respective newsletters.
9. The early bird still
gets the cruise, just like with the airlines. If you’re a good
long-range planner, then you can save mucho dinero. The earlier you book your
cruise - the more you save. Typically 10 - 40%.
10. If you belong to an association,
organization, if you have a wedding party, family reunion, belong to a church
group or are planning a corporate outing you can get a hefty group discount.
As always, don’t be afraid to ask!
11. Stand by! Yes, it happens
with cruise ships too. Typically you’re notified three weeks prior to
departure if there is space. Late notice like this means you get a nice
discount fare.
Bonus Tip:
Did you know that the best cabins to avoid seasickness
in are the lower and middle deck cabins? There is more stability there
than the pricey upper cabins! Just make sure you’re not placed under the
Disco, in high traffic areas, or near the engine room. Diesel powered ships
vibrate near the stern (rear) of the ship, and passenger cabins near the bow
(front) may subject you to hearing the anchor raise and lower.
