Why Savvy Cruisers book early

Have you ever been in the situation where you have waited for the right deal to come along only to end up paying more and not actually getting what you wanted in the first place? The first can be said for booking your next cruise for 2019 or even as far as 2020

Booking a cruise when they first go on sale comes with lots of benefits including –

First pick on cabin availability – this is especially important when travelling in a group – Cabins close together can never be guaranteed and you may end up on different decks of the ship. Cruise lines only have a limited amount of cabins that sleep more than 4 people, if you are a family of 4 with small children you may miss out on your dream holiday – especially in the key holiday times as these are generally booked up as soon as the cruise lines release there sailings.

Dining times – Dining preference can be a very important factor to consider when booking a cruise with various options available to choose at the time of booking you want to ensure the one you choose is right for you – Whether that be traditional or a more Freedom style of dining

Loyalty matters – if you have cruised with a particular cruise line before your loyalty to them really can pay off at the time of launch – You will receive extra discounts and added value benefits for booking early – And the more times you’ve cruised the more appealing the offers

Did you know – MSC offer a status match so you can transfer your existing loyalty membership with another cruise line on your first cruise with them and receive the same level of rewards you would on your previous rewards scheme!

Itinerarys – Bucket list destinations such as Alaska, south America, Australia and the Galapagos islands to name a few sell out really quickly – If you are planning a once in a lifetime trip ensure you book early to avoid disappointment

Extras – Added extras such as On board Credit, Car Parking or Coach Transfers really can make your cruise experience so much easier – Plus the nearer you get to the departure date the more expensive parking/coach can become

Low deposits – Pay a lower deposit the earlier you book, which gives you more time until your balance is due
