5 Quick Tips to Save Money on Your Next Cruise

Alright, so what happens if the price of your cruise drops after you booked it and you’ve already placed your deposit down on your vacation?  Typically the cruise lines allow you to get the lower price as long as you haven’t made your final payment yet. However, those special “one day sales” are normally only for new bookings only.

So, what’s a person to do once they’ve booked?  Here’s our 5 quick tips to help you get the best priced cruise!

  1. Crack the Code- With some fare codes, you can even get onboard credit, 72 hours before your actual, cruise if the price drops. One way to do so, is to know which code you booked it under. There’s always stipulations and rules/restrictions to be aware of.

  2. Use CruiseFish.net – CruiseFish.net has a neat, automated tool that searches price drops for you, which will save you time from doing it yourself.  If you were to book a cruise 6 months in advance and check every day (just for a few minutes each day) to see if the price went down, you'd spend approximately four hours over those four months until your final payment was due.  Who has time to do all this research? Well, for only 99 cents, CruiseFish will do this for you and send an email to you if there has been a price reduction. Saving four hours of time for less than a buck?  Score!

  3. Use the App Ship Mate – The world’s #1 cruise app now offers a quick, new price drop feature that will monitor and alert you anytime the price of your cruise cabin drops more than 1%.  It’s super easy  to do so and the entire process takes less than 60 seconds.

  4. Check Yourself – Go ahead and spend a little bit of time to check each day to see if the price dropped. You go to the cruise line’s website and pretend to book another cruise.  You can see if your cabin category is selling cheaper. If it is, you can then contact the cruise line or your travel consultant (whoever you booked through) to get that lower price.  Make sure your cookies are deleted each day, to avoid your searches being captured.
    ​
  5. Use a Travel Agent – A really good travel agent (such as us) will check for price drops for you and automatically get you the lower price, at no extra charge.  But beware- not all travel agents will do this. Make sure you ask your potential travel consultant if this is included in their services.

There ya have it, 5 quick tips to help you save money on your next cruise!  Want help booking that next vacation on board a cruise ship, send us your specifics here and we promise to get right to work on saving you money.
