Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises have been on sale now for a few weeks and they promise that you can book now and then switch onto a promotion later in the year!

Fred Olsen are also on sale!

So why book early?

Some people really do not have a choice but to book early, you may only be able to travel on certain dates, your celebrating a special occasion or just like to have things planned early to enable you to budget for your holiday.  To me I feel that if you are happy with the deal at the time of booking then book early, remember these last minute or late offers will have certain benefits withdrawn.  When you book early it may include free car parking, a drinks package or on board credit, which on late offers these are taken away from you.

So if you want to plan ahead, get the deal that’s right for you now really is the time to look, and of course to book!!
