When are cruises the cheapest?
Summer months (especially July through mid-September) tend to be among the cheapest, most affordable times to cruise the Caribbean. Summer is when cruise lines compete with other outdoor fun, including road trips, theme parks and local beaches. All vying for summer travelers, cruise lines turn up the heat with irresistible fares.
What is the best time to go on a cruise?
The best time to go on a cruise depends on your window of availability. If you have an open calendar, consider the summer months in the Caribbean. The summer months are when you’re most likely to find a top deal with perks that optimize your savings while maximizing your fun.
What is the cheapest month to go on a cruise?
The cheapest months to go on a cruise are August and September. You’ll find the best deals on Caribbean cruises, especially for 3- to 7-night sailings.
When is the best time to book a summer cruise?
To find the lowest prices for a summer cruise, book last-minute with 1 to 2 months out from the sailing. Or, start planning for next summer! Booking far in advance, anywhere from 12 months or more, often rewards you with excellent savings and perks.
What about hurricane season?
Cruise lines are aware of the seasonal threat of hurricanes in the Caribbean region and have spent decades refining contingency routes and plans. The cruise lines work around the clock, monitoring weather patterns to ensure ships steer clear of hazardous weather, ensuring your vacation stays safe and smooth. All the detailed planning and course charting have often made summer cruises surprisingly calm for guests. When you book with a AAA Travel Agent, you’ll have access to added guidance if plans shift, giving you peace of mind no matter what the forecast says.
Protect your cruise investment with travel insurance — when purchased before a storm is named, it can provide benefits for unexpected cancellations, delays and disruptions caused by severe weather.
