Sure, the mercury is still climbing now. But, in a few short months you’ll be back scraping ice off your windshield and shoveling the driveway in five layers of clothes. Believe me; that’s not when you want to be trying to score a sunny deal to the warm Caribbean. To save big on winter cruises you need to book now. By doing so you can share in big savings (in some cases as much as 72% off rack rates).
Take a look:
Under $500
Right now Orbitz is offering an incredible deal on a Carnival Cruise that will take you to tropical ports of call in Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Maarten for just $469 (interior cabins). That’s a serious discount off rack rates of $1,669 — in fact; you will save up to 72%. The 7-night voyage sails roundtrip from Miami to the Eastern Caribbean twice in January 2009. The itinerary includes three days at sea.
Under $600
If you prefer touring the Western Caribbean consider taking advantage of this deal from Carnival Cruise Line, which sets sail in January 2009. The 7-day voyage includes stops in Grand Cayman, Mexico, Belize, and Bay Islands (Honduras), before returning to port in Tampa, Florida. The multi-day winter odyssey is normally priced at $1,769, but if you book now you can get an interior cabin for just $559.
Under $800
Winter cruisers used to upscale freestyle cruising can nab a great deal through Norwegian Cruise Line. This particular 9-night trip sets sail from Miami on January 9 and 23, 2009, and includes stops in the Dominican Republic, Tortola (British Virgin Isles), Antigua, Barbados, and St. Lucia. Three days at sea are also part of the itinerary. The voyage is priced at $799 for inside staterooms. That’s $980 off rack rates.
