one place! CruiseSearchNow makes it easy to do your
homework, research the best offers, and find the perfect
cruise to fit your lifestyle and budget.
Ready to
get started? What's the best approach?
1. Start
Here
The web provides a great overview of cruise lines, cruise
ships and cruise destinations. Did you know there are
over 40,000 travel sites that feature cruises? Overwhelmed.
And check the list of the top ten Google search
listings for cruises, and they don't get you where you need
to go. That is, if you are looking for the cheapest price
for a cruise.
Use our
CruiseSearchNowtm
feature, that scours the Internet for prices and then links
you to brand name booking sites. As an example, with
CruiseSearchNowtm
you could
retrieve over 80 results for a three-to-five-night Caribbean
cruise in June. Now, you narrow your options by price,
cabin type ( inside, outside, balcony or suite ) , departure
port, sailing date, ship, cruise line and other factors.
Say, you click on Western Caribbean, and the list shows 38
cruises then click on Miami as the departure port (16
results) and select Celebrity Cruise Lines (8) and you have
the results you want within seconds. You can get price
quotes from four travel providers: Travelocity, Expedia,
Priceline, and Cruise Direct. Each search engine opens as a
separate window, so you can compare the deals side-by-side.
2. Keep an
eye out for what's different
Look carefully, the cruise deals and special offers may
differ slightly, in your favor. For instance, we found
a Princess cruise priced at $649 through Priceline.
But only after switching the window to Travelocity, we
found their price quote came with BONUS Extras: $75 onboard
spending credit, a bottle of wine at dinner and a free
photo. You can even find last-minute deals as low as $99 per
person. Now that's for a 2 day cruise to nowhere, but you
also can find last-minute 7 to 10 cruises.
3. Call a
Travel Agent
Perhaps these services falls short of giving you all the
information necessary to make an informed decision. Travel
sites are good if you know what you're looking for, but not
so much online. A knowledgeable and trained travel agent can
help you plan your cruise vacation and answer all the
questions you may have. Call centers are not the
people to call. A travel agent can help you take advantage
of all the promotions and discounts available.
4. Have
Multiple Travel Agents Compete For Your Business
The first three steps should give you a good idea of which
cruise you want, as well as what kinds of offers are
available. Now it's simply a matter of finding the best
value. Enter your dates, preferred ship and stateroom type,
and other details at
CruiseCompete, a website that passes along your
request to dozens of consolidators and online
agencies--which in turn e-mail you their best prices.

Are you sure your agent has the best
price?
Cruise prices can vary by $100's
from agency to agency, so
CruiseCompete
makes it quick and easy to shop
around. Get
Competitive Cruise Quotes
Select
the cruise you want, and let
independent travel agents compete to
offer you the best deal. |
5. Evaluate
the Offers
Most cruise lines do not allow travel agents, or online
travel providers discounting from the daily price set by the
company. However, you may find a unique difference between
travel agencies, online travel providers, consolidators, and
even the offer from the cruise line. Deals these days come
in the form of BONUS Extras, like $50-100 Onboard Spending
Credits ( works like cash), cabin upgrades ( like buy an
Oceanview, Get a Balcony cabin ) , free sightseeing
excursions, free travel insurance, free pre-or post cruise
hotel stays and more. You may also find special cruise deal
rates based on residency, age, family, military, police
officer, firefighter, union membership or past cruising
experience. Just ask.
6. Read The
Fine Print
The cruise
fare price is just the beginning. CruiseSearchNow lets you
can compare up to 4 travel providers. While comparing the
offers is essential, so is understanding the "fine print"
before you book anything. Read the detail. Look for
the port charges ( sometimes buried in the price ) ,
government fees and taxes, and any fuel surcharge fees in
price quotes. Find out what "extra's you may have to pay for
once onboard ( like upscale dining, shore excursions, spa,
photographs etc ). Be sure to set aside money for gratuities
(tips to the cabin and dining staff ), as much as $9-12 a
day per person.
Our Best
Advice
Look before
you book. Compare all the cruise deals. Pardon the pun "
Don't go overboard". A balcony cabin in nice, but if you
don't plan on spending much time in your cabin, why pay
upwards of $200-$400 more for a few minutes gazing at the
sunrise or a moonlit evening. Use the money you saved for
some fun ashore at your favorite ports-of-call. Always,
choose the one that fits your lifestyle and your budget.
