excerpt
"It’s been said that planning a
cruise can be more confusing than filing
your own income taxes. That’s mainly because
there are just so many darn decisions to
make.
Consider that there are nearly 200
different ships, belonging to over two dozen
cruise lines. Some of those ships have over
20 different stateroom categories, and the
largest ships can have as many as 15 decks.
Then there are choices about itinerary,
onboard activities, and onshore excursions.
Some cruise lines are better for younger
kids, while others are geared to older kids
and adults.
While you’re sifting through all the
options, you may start wondering if you’ll
be able to find something within your
budget.
Never fear. We’ve tracked down six
essential sites to help you research and
plan a family cruise. As for your taxes —
sorry, but you’re on your own with those.

A:
For most cruise lines, You can get pricing now and reserve
your cruise. But if you wait until the "last minute" , about
four to six weeks before sailing cruise lines will discount
their rates if they have unsold inventory ( cabins ) to
fill. This year, we have been some very low prices, as there
are too many cruise ships that "winter" in the Caribbean.
Talk to a travel agent who specializes in cruises; they are
best equipted to give you advice on what cruise line or
cruise ship best suits your needs and budget.
