How to Find Cheap Cruises

Video Transcript

"Hi, everyone. I'm Russ Handler, travel agent and travel expert. You know, there is such a thing as a cheap cruise and the little known secret is that you can find one if you just follow a few simple tools. Now, first of all, your search begins online. It's simple, just put in cheap cruises and you're going to get a million things coming up and everyone's going to say they've got the best price. But, oftentimes, you compare those prices to the website of the cruise line directly. Generally, that means they won't have to give any commissions, they're will to book directly and give you the best deal possible. A lot of times, last minute deals to fill up the boat are a good way to go. Now, if you're looking for a cheap Caribbean, eastern or western Caribbean cruise, I suggest you go during hurricane season. That's because cruise prices, obviously, are not that much as they are outside of that particular season. The weather's not as nice as it is and chances are you could run into a storm or two, especially during that hurricane season. So, keep that in mind. A few things to do; call the carrier in advance, the cruise line itself, ask if they've got any special deals, check with their website and travel during off-peak times for the best value. I'm Russ Handler and that's how you do it."
