5 Easy Tips on How to Save Money on Your Next Cruise

By Amy L. Moore

There are countless ways to save money on your next cruise. If you follow these easy tips you'll be sure to save a few bucks and still have a great time on your next cruise vacation.


1. Look for your cruise tickets early and buy sooner than later. Sailing before Christmas and New Year's is a great idea. Most lines are not booked in full and you would be able to snag a good deal.

2. Economy size saves a lot of money. There are so many things to do on a cruise that most of the time your cabin is only used for sleeping. With the money you're saving by not getting a room with a view, you can spend it on an excursion at your destination or even shopping.

3. Ask for a discount. There are many different types of discounts offered on many cruise lines. One of the more popular discount is a military rate offered for those who have served at least 2 years.

4. Purchase a soda package. If you need a daily caffeine fix and soda is your first choice, than it would be cheaper to buy a package than purchasing a drink daily. Most packages offer unlimited sodas for the duration of your trip at a reasonable price.

5. Become a part of the cruise line. Cruise lines offer the opportunity for you to become a shareholder. Discounts are offered with a percentage of shares you hold which would cut down on the cost of a cabin, these discounts range anywhere between $50 - $200.

With the new advice that you've just been offered you'll be able to stay away from these costly mistakes.
