Carnival Cruises are a popular vacation for families, groups and couples. We know so many people love cruising because it allows people to see multiple destinations in one trip. If you’re asking yourself, “How do I get the best price on a Carnival Cruise?” We’re here to answer that question and more.

Here at Get Away Today we always keep our eyes on Carnival because of their great deals. We also make sure to get our team on Carnival as often as possible to scope out everything aboard you can enjoy.

Imagine being able to see multiple beach destinations, enjoy gourmet dining every night and fun activities for the whole family. That’s some of the most popular reasons to take a cruise!

One of our top goals at Get Away Today is to make sure you get the lowest price on your cruise every time.

With Carnival it can be tempting to wait for a better deal, but the days of amazing last-minute cruise deals are dwindling. As cruising has become more popular, cruise lines are finding it less difficult to fill their itineraries.

This means it’s now a rare thing to find those insanely discounted cabins just a week or so before sailing. And, if you do happen to find one, the cost of booking airfare so close to your travel date usually cancels out those savings.

By booking in advance, you’ll be able to get the first choice of cabin and still get an amazing deal. You can even make payments when you book a cruise with Get Away Today, which is a huge benefit to booking in advance.

Carnival offers various cruising sales throughout the year and those are always automatically loaded to our prices. You can search for the perfect itinerary knowing you’re getting the best price possible, including any sales.

Another great time to book a cruise? October! It’s like the Black Friday of cruising. Since October is National Cruise Month, many cruise lines share their best prices in October!

This savings tip may seem obvious, but cruises that take place over holidays or a peak season are going to cost more. But, if these dates are your best option try to sail the very first week or very last week of the peak season.

Peak season can change depending on the itinerary, so you’ll want to talk to our cruise experts for the best times to go. And, if the peak season or holidays are the only time you can go, don’t forget that you can get the best price by booking in advance. A holiday cruise for next year is going to cost less than a holiday cruise for this year, simply because many of the cabin choices have sold out.

Interior staterooms are the least expensive option on cruises. This is because inside rooms don’t have a window or balcony to the outside. If you are only traveling with 2-4 people, these can be a great option to get the best price on a cruise.

With so many things to see and do on the cruise ship, you’ll only be in your room to sleep. Plus, since the inside staterooms get very dark, they work perfectly for those who are light sleepers. Just make sure to set an alarm so you don’t miss anything!

If you’re worried about seasickness, it may be worth the money to upgrade to an ocean view stateroom. Keep in mind this will be more expensive than an inside cabin, but still less expensive than a stateroom with a balcony. There are so many cabin types, you might be surprised where you could save some money.

This tip will help families with five or more members get the best price on a cruise. Now, if you have five family members, you can often find larger suite staterooms that will fit your family. However, these tend to be much more expensive. These large suites are more than an upgrade in space, they are also usually balcony rooms and on the highest deck levels.

We can price out getting two inside or even two ocean view cabins and help you compare that with a suite. Plus, not many cruise lines have just one suite that fits more than five people.

Our cruise experts can even help book cabins that are right next to each other or connecting. Another popular choice for families with older children is booking one ocean view cabin and an inside cabin straight across the hall. That way, Mom and Dad get the extra perk of an ocean view while the kids are still nearby.

Cruises don’t just leave from Florida. In fact, there are cruise ports all around the country. Port Canaveral, New York, San Diego, Long Beach, Galveston and New Orleans are just a few of the most popular.

By finding a cruise port near you, you can save on travel to the start point. Whether you find a killer deal on airfare or decide to drive, it’s going to save you versus traveling to a cruise port on the other side of the country. All those extra savings can then be spent on experiences like spa treatments or excursions.

Speaking of excursions and spa treatments, you’ll want to start budgeting as soon as you start looking at a cruise. While so much is included in your cruise, there are other things like excursions, souvenirs, spa treatments and specialty dining experiences to consider.

On Carnival one thing you DON’T need to worry about is paying for certain drinks. CHEERS! is an all-inclusive beverage program made just for you and what you enjoy.

By budgeting for other extras in the beginning, you won’t be surprised or feel like you missed out on anything during the cruise. Plus, some cruise lines even offer discounts if you purchase certain things (like spa treatments or drink packages) in advance.

There you have it – our top tips for getting the best price on a cruise. When you call our cruise experts at Get Away Today you won’t just be getting the best price. You’ll also be getting the best service, which includes extra goodies, need-to-know tips and more.
