6 Myths of Cruise Pricing - Part 1

Daddy was telling me today that there are 6 myths about cruise pricing, and i am going to share these with you now...

 Myth #1: Last Minute Means Greater Savings
Once upon a time when last minute cruises were a good deal. Now, if you wait until the last minute to book you cruise, you will often pay a much higher rate for your cruise fare and have the least selection to choose from for accommodations.  Some destinations, like Alaska, are often sold out months to a year in advance. To secure preferred accommodations at the best price----book early!


 Myth #2: Lowest Prices Equal Value
This is simply not true. Price is not the only element to consider when looking at value.  With cruising, the lowest price often means the least desirable destinations and the worst accommodations. You must also concider that the lowest price cruise might not suite your requirements or personality. Consult your Personal Cruise Expert (my daddy...) on how to secure the best value for your cruise.


 Myth #3: Shorter Cruises are CheaperIt's not unusual for a four day Caribbean cruise to be less expensive than a three day. This is because three-day itineraries usually operate over the weekend and four-days are mid-week.  This can mean fewer guests and better prices. The same is true for longer itineraries. Pricing is based on demand.  When demand is low, so are the prices.

Daddy said he will share the other three myths with me tomorrow, since mummy got bored of listening, and said that was enough for one day... 

I have been giving daddy some advice on web design, and he has spent the last two days working on my advice, to see what he has managed to achieve, under my watchful gaze, have a look at the fantastic new pages he has created, and share them with all you friends...
