Things To Know
Before Searching For
Family Cruise Deals


Before you begin searching for discounted family cruises, there are some things that you must know:

1. Decide on how many days you want to cruise;

2. Determine how many people will be cruising;

3. Have a solid idea of the age range of family members;

4. Decide how many cabins you will need; and,

5. Have an idea of how much money you can afford to spend.


Finding Family
Cruise Deals

Now that you have taken care of the preliminary matters, let us talk about how to find cruise deals for your family.

There are four (4) main ways to find the best cruise prices for your family's cruise ship vacation:

1. Plan far in advance;

2. Book your cruise vacation during the "Wave Season";

3. Get help comparing all the cruise discount offers; and,

4. Search for last minute cruise deals.



Book Months In Advance
To Find Best Cruise Prices

More often than not, the best cruise prices are available several months in advance - especially six months or earlier - before your sail date.

That is why it is crucial to know which family members will be cruising, so that you plan a date that works for everyone very early.

Cruise prices will begin rise three to four months prior to a sail date, and so securing a cabin earlier works in your favor.

Note: Carnival Cruise Line offers you a price guarantee, if you book early. That is, if for some reason the price of your cabin category goes down after you book, you will receive the difference in prices as onboard credit. However, you or your travel agent must ask for this.


Find Family Cruise Deals
During The Wave Season

January through March are the hottest months for cruise bookings. 

Most families contact a travel agent or search for an inclusive family cruise vacation during those months.

Consequently, cruise lines offer sweet incentives during the "Wave Season" as they compete for your business.

You will find the sweetest deals on family cruises during this period of the year.

Plan to book yours then.



Get Help Finding
Family Cruise Deals

I mentioned above that the best cruise deals are available during the Wave Season. 

However, throughout the year all cruise lines continue to offer incentives for cruising with them. These are far too many offers to stay on top off.

Get help finding the best cruise package for your family. You can do this by contacting a travel agent.

Travel Professionals are the first ones to get information on what cruise offers are available to families. 

Consequently, they know which offer suits your family and which ones are not that great.

As a Travel Professional and a Cruise Specialist, I will be happy to help your family find the best cruise deal.

Great Discounts On
Last Minute Cruises

If you can find one, a last minute cruise, there is a good chance that your family will get a super rate.

Cruise bookings done about two months or less prior to the sail date are considered last minute cruises.

Depending on which time of the year you cruise, if many cabins remain unsold on a particular sailing, you will get a very sweet last minute price.

However, if the sailing is during the prime season there is a chance that you will not find enough cabins. 

It is therefore imperative that you know how many people will be cruising and think about whether you want to take a chance with waiting for last minute offers.

Last Word On
Family Cruise Deals

One of the easiest ways to save on your family cruise vacation is to add four or five people to a cabin.

Depending on how many people are cruising, you may decide to put everyone into one cabin or divide them among two or three cabins.

However, ensure that you divide your family members by three, four or five per cabin.

More often than not, the more people you have in the cabin, the less per person you will pay.

Note: Ships do not have many cabins holding four or five guests. Therefore, if you wish to use this method to save some money on your family cruise vacation, book as early as possible.


Cruising is fun and there is something for every member of your family to do onboard those huge, luxury floating-resorts.

Plan your cruise escape with help and take your family to fun and unforgettable memories.

Whatever you do, follow the information here to find family cruise deals.

Happy sailing!
