Planning ahead!

Well it’s the time of the year when cruise lines launch their itineraries and prices for summer 2015…….. I know I must say this every year but it seems to come round so quick.  I have not even planned my family holiday for 2014!!

We have seen the Anthem of the Seas and Allure of the Seas go on sale the last couple of weeks, and what a busy time we have had!!  We are also pre registering for the launch of P&O’s new ship the Britannia.

So why book so early?  What benefits do you get booking early when there are so many offers coming out now for late departures?  Questions we get asked so many times. Personally this is down to the individuals, if you are looking at a family cruise, wanting particular cabins and restricted to the summer holidays then booking early is essential.  If you want a particular cruise, know the type of cabin, need to confirm dining times and want the peace of mind that you are all booked on the cruise you want, then again booking early is a must.  If you are celebrating a special birthday or anniversary, a honeymoon or even a wedding on board again planning ahead is important.  Remember if you wait for a late offer then you do not choose your cabin,  your dining times may be on request or not confirmed until 2 weeks before departure or you are asked to pay a supplement to guarantee the dining.  If you are at a port that requires a shuttle bus and you are booked on a late offer then you will have to pay for this service.

So if you are interested in booking early or need help and advice in planning your cruise please call me and I will be happy to assist.
