When to book your cruise can be a puzzle to some. You want a good deal on the cruise, but you also want to get your preferred accommodations for your floating vacation rental.
So, how do you get the perfect outdoor vacation cruise experience and still get a good price? It depends on your destination. Some destination holidays are more popular than others at certain times of the year.
For example, if you are thinking of a cruise to Alaska, the May September cruises are always full. This is the time to go to these regions, and everyone is clamoring for the best rooms. If you were hoping for a cabin with a balcony, you are going to have to sacrifice getting a good price deal and book your vacation rental room at least 6 months in advance (possibly more).
If you want a Vancouver to Anchorage Gulf cruise route, expect to pay even more as this is a very popular travel path.
The best chances you have to get a great deal on your Alaska cruise is to book either at the beginning or the end of the busy season (May or September). There are often more openings at this time, and you may still be able to pay a little more for the nicer outer cabins.
