Cruise Deals

There are cruise deals available on cruises leaving from Port Everglades, but timing is a critical factor in getting a real bargain. You may have to reserve very early or wait until the last minute to get the best cruise deals.

What is a Good Cruise Deal?

Any rate below $100 per day is a real bargain on a cruise, and on the high-luxury ships the fair price is well above that. Remember that cruises are inclusive vacations that include meals and all the amenities. On a cruise you're housed, fed, entertained and transported to great places -- all for one price. That's value.

How to Find Cruise Deals

Book well ahead of your departure date and you might get a good early-bird cruise deal. The cruise lines like to sell cabins early so they know how much promotion they'll need to do to sell the rest of the spaces later in the year.

On the other hand, specials on last minute cruises are for people who like to gamble. Cruise lines drop the rates on remaining cabins as the date of the cruise approaches. Choices are limited, but you can sometimes grab an excellent deal.

The cruise lines post some deals on their own sites. Carnival's deals page is big and usually has excellent specials. And be sure to check out Royal Caribbean Cruises' hot deals. Check online reservation services for many more cruise deals.
