Book A Royal Caribbean CruiseBooking a cruise on your own can feel overwhelming… what with the myriad cruise lines, destinations, and deals available year-round, and with every third-party platform vying for your dollars.
Here's the latest insider info on booking a cruise from our best vacation planners:
Best time to book a cruise?
Anytime you want! Often you can find better deals for bookings January - March and during flash sale holidays such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Memorial Day, Presidents' Day, or Labor Day. But honestly, there are good discounts available year-round, especially if you are able to plan a sailing holiday 6-12 months in advance and outside of the busiest summer and winter holiday times.
How old do you have to be to book a cruise?
Depending on the cruise line and staterooms you're looking to book, the age requirement is often 21 or 25 and older. Occasionally there are bookings available for 18 and older.
Is it cheaper to book directly with a cruise line?
When you book with our fee-free travel agency, the answer is unequivocally NO. Never. At MEI-Travel, our support is provided at no cost to you. Our free travel agents are compensated directly by the cruise lines. When you work with us, you have access to the very best cruise discounts PLUS your dollars go even further because we help you beyond booking with our white-glove, completely complementary services.
What is the cheapest way to book a cruise?
Some cruise lines offer last-minute discounted rates to fill any empty cabins. However, the savings and benefits are typically the greatest for customers who book early. Since you can start booking both river and ocean cruises about a year in advance, make your reservation as early as possible via our custom cruise booking engine above. Then our travel agents can come alongside you and support you as you make the rest of your plans.
Is it better to book directly with a cruise line?
Certainly not. Booking directly with a cruise line doesn't save you money and doesn't provide the ongoing additional support you need to make sure your next cruise vacation is an exhilarating adventure, not a logistical nightmare. At MEI-Travel, we make it our full-time job to know all the ins and outs of helping you organize and prepare for your cruise. We pass along all that knowledge and all the benefits available to you to ensure the most fantastic experience possible.
