I am afraid that I cannot recommend a $30.50 per night cruise to you right now, not even a $34 per night. Sorry but with summer holidays around the corner for most kids, the travel business is gearing up for another hot retail summer. If you are set on going on a cruise in the next few months, look at getting on one of the 1,416 cruises leaving in July.
Whatever you do, do not pay brochure prices for a cruise. If you do then don’t blame me when you find out that people in the next cabin had paid half of what you had paid. And do yourself a favor, if you are booked on a cruise then call your cruise line right up to the day before you leave. Ask for the price of your cabin. If it less than what you had paid for, ask for a credit. Most cruise lines will gladly refund you difference. Or if you don’t care for the money, ask if there is a cabin available on a higher deck at the same price.
Before I go, you might want to take a look at the sailing on October 18th with NCL on the Norwegian Spirit. For $799, you can get an inside cabin and sail from New York to New Orleans for 13 nights, stopping at ports such as Roatan, Belize, Aruba, Samana, St Thomas and Cozumel. That’s only $62 per night, not bad for my standards.
