  1. Great tips, Matt! Some of my favourite strategies for getting the lowest price per cruise-night include: doing slow-season sailings; Caribbean is the cheapest region in the world if you search for bargains; always go with the ships over 20 years old to get even better value for money (i.e., lower prices but excellent crew-members and better relations with staff and fellow passengers); book early (up to 2 years in advance); always choose Inside Guarantee for a double saving. Finally, master the Loyalty-Programme and use every benefit, discount, exclusive event, exclusive venue, complimentary items, and ultimately big savings on Single Supplements (up to 75% saving!) and, best of all, FREE cruises for Pinnacle milestones….for the rest of your life.

  2. Do you have to pay for a travel agent? is it online, over the phone? Always just booked omline because it seems like every website are all the same price. Thanks for the advice

  3. Question for all of you experienced cruisers: how much is considered a cheap cruise rate per person per night (including taxes)? Name a range. Is it 100 – 130 an awesome deal? As this nightly rate its a good indicator and standardise way of comparing.

  4. Any tips for a family of 5? Hard to find rooms that accommodate 5 anymore so you are forced to book a suite, which is also pretty expensive these days. Sad that they are pricing bigger families out.

  5. Another way to save money if you're just a couple cruising is book the cheapest room. Do you really need a balcony or oceanview if you're only in your room to shower & sleep?! 🤷‍♂️ You get plenty of ocean views all over the ship all day/night.

    I also second the tip in this video about older ships. I know how great some of the newest ships look but they're pretty crowded no matter what time of year you go. Wait until the current new ships are no longer the new ships. I like looking at the ships that are around 4 – 10 years old because they tend to be less crowded (depending on time of year) and slightly cheaper but still offer a modern feel. Anything older tends to feel too dated. Most people book the newest and biggest ships from the past 2-3 years. In 2024 you're going to pay more for a cruise on a ship that first started sailing between 2022 – 2024 than you will if you book a cruise on a ship from 2016 – 2019 for example.

  6. We pull the kids out of school. Our sweet spot is hurricane season and it’s never impacted us. Not ideal but we couldn’t do it at peak pricing. We have always gone Carnival but we are going Royal Carribean in September. It was cheaper for us to do a 7 day with 4 ports than a 4-5 day with 2 ports. SOLD

  7. Why is booking a family of 5 so hard? I keep getting an error that says theirs no cabins for 3 people (trying to do two cabins). It also don't let me input 5 people… I probably need a TA don't I.

  8. How do people find out about all the different ways to save money? I ran into a couple on my cruise last week who cruise 6 months a year! I was like HOW???? They said three things! 1) If you are a shareholder, you can save hundreds per shareholder, so if both people are shareholders (100 share minimum), EACH person gets $250 off the price, so that can be $500 off EACH CRUISE. 2) They are part of the casino players club and get HUGE discounts on cruises, getting hundreds off each cruise, sometimes a free cruise-based off how much you play, not how much you win or lose and joining these clubs is FREE, you just have to enroll 3) Both of them served in the military. Between these three things, they told me the average cruise cost them $50 each, (not including port fees/taxes). I'm sure there even more ways, must not sure how people find out, I guess watching YouTube videos and reading comments… LOL 🤪

  9. I haven’t been on a cruise but when I go I want to sail royal carribean the only issue is that I have five people in my family, meaning we have to buy two separate staterooms which means double the price.
