How to book a cheap cruise?

The first thing you have to remember while searching for a cheap cruise is that cruise pricing is similar to tour pricing, which means that the closer you will get to the date of departure, the cheaper the cruise may become. That's because ships want to depart fully loaded, so they drop the prices (empty cabins = less money). Of course, there are also early-bird prices, but from my experience, last-minute offers are much better. The only problem is that you have to be really flexible and ready for fast departure if you want to find a cheap cruise.

The other great idea how to book a cheap cruise is to travel off the season when the cruise prices can drop really low. No plan your cruise not during the summer and just before the departure, and you will see that the prices will start to be really affordable.
