6 Pre-trip Savings for Cruises

Dollars and Sense Cruises are incredible vacation deals: For one price, you get unlimited food, accommodations, entertainment and transportation to and from destinations.

Read on to stretch your wallet even further.

1) BOOK THROUGH A SPECIALIZED TRAVEL AGENCY
Sites like CruisesOnly.com and MyCruiseValue.com sometimes cut cruise fares up to 50% off the brochure price.

2) BOOK EARLY--OR BOOK LATE
Stash your bill by reserving at least six months in advance. Or choose your package less than 30 days before sailing.

3) TWEAK YOUR TIMING
Reductions are available off-season [Alaska in May, for example] or on a repositioning run that spends a lot of time crossing an ocean [such a Europe to Florida in the late fall].

4) DRIVE TO THE EMBARKATION PORT
If you're only a shor distance away, you can skip the plane fare.

5) BOOK YOUR OWN FLIGHTS
Cruise lines offer convenient air-sea packages, but you can usually find cheaper filghts on the Web. [One caveat: If your airplane is delayed, the vessel won't wait for you, whereas cruise lines will make every effort to get you on the ship if you book directly with them.] For a family of four, however, the money saved by booking your own flight can more than pay for a pre-cruise hotel stay, enabling you to lenghten your trip while ensuring that you'll make it to the ship on time.

6) CHOOSE AN INSIDE CABIN
Portholes and balconies are sold at a premium. Also, third and fourth passengers on the same cabin can sail for far less; in some cases, children sail for free.
