Cruise-Reviews.com is fast and friendly with no bidding, no guessing a fair price, no credit card numbers online, and no hassles!

| HOW TO READ A CRUISE AD | |||
| You're perusing the Sunday Travel Section or surfing the Internet and see a fantastic price for a cruise. Is it too good to be true? What's not included in that price? What's hidden in the fine print? | |||
| Finding a Cruise bargain... | |||
When shopping for a bargain cruise vacation, consider your cruise line, cruise ship, itinerary to Caribbean Alaska, Hawaii or Europe and the length of your vacation-time. Include travel time getting to and from the ship. Consider the size of your stateroom, despite the fact that some cruise lines present as many as 20 or more "categories" per ship, it's helpful to remember that there are essentially only four types of cabin on any cruise vessel: Location, Location, Location
| |||
| Should I pay early or late for the best savings? | |||
| Selecting your cruise and paying for it early guarantees that you will be on the cruise you want and in the cabin or cabin type that you want. There are instances in which part of your paid fare can be reimbursed if the prices for cabins in your category go down, but it requires some research and contact with either the travel agent you used to book your cruise or the cruise line itself. The best rule of thumb is that if you find an itinerary you like on a ship you like at a time that you can travel, get the cabin you desire and go for it. If the price goes down and you get a rebate, consider it a huge bonus. | |||
| What's a guarantee? | |||
|
A "guarantee" cabin selection is one in which you pay for the cabin category you are willing to take but you allow the cruise line to select the cabin for you. You are guaranteed to get accommodated in at least the category you have selected; you will never get a lower category. But, by choosing a guarantee you have an excellent chance of being upgraded to a slightly higher category, usually within the same cabin type (inside to inside, outside to outside, verandah to verandah etc.). Beyond that, while it does happen, it's rare to be upgraded to a higher cabin type. Trust me: Taking the lowest category inside on a guarantee will not result in your being given a deluxe verandah suite. It just won't happen. But ... you might get very lucky and end up with an outside cabin and a lovely big window.
On the other hand, you might not only end up in the category you paid for, you might get a cabin in a location that you just never would have chosen for yourself; at that point, you can't complain about it, either. Look at it this way: A guarantee category cabin is for gamblers. If you're feeling lucky and you know what the downside might be, and you can accept that, a guarantee can be a really good deal. If, on the other hand, you'd be miserable getting that cabin all the way at the very front of the ship at the lowest level, or that inside that just happens to be next to the crew quarters or the engine room, you'd be better off just choosing your cabin at the outset. | |||
| How do I get upgraded Cabin? | |||
|
From time to time, a cruise line has a ship in which a certain category of cabin has sold out or is in an "oversell" situation, meaning that more cabins have been sold in that category than actually exist. The cruise line can hardly downgrade someone who has paid for their cruise, so they select certain passengers -- at random, we have been assured -- and upgrade them to whatever has more availability. That's where a guarantee category can be a good deal; as for the random selection, it's just the luck of the draw, or a visit from "the upgrade fairy," that can make certain people very happy indeed.
Now, what about the backward-facing furniture that makes me (and a few others) crazy? On most cruise line's Web sites or in brochure deck plans, you can't tell which way your furniture faces. And that brings us to the best way to learn about specific cabins or categories: Cruise-Reveiws.com Forums, where you can get information just by reading the posts about the ship you are considering and where you can even ask questions about a specific cabin number. If you can't find your answer anywhere else, you'll be sure to find it here. | |||
