Do you know when the best time to book a cruise is? Today! In fact, we are seeing cruise prices lower than what they have been in years. Cruising has always been a great choice to maximize your vacation dollar and today that is truer than ever before. Here are some tips to why cruising is such a great choice and how to save the most money.

• Almost everything is included - That's right, your cruise fare will include your accommodations, food (including room service), entertainment, exciting ports of call, structured children's activities and more.
• Pay in your currency - With the fluctuation of the world's currency, you can prepay for just about your entire vacation before you leave home and know exactly what your trip will cost. This is perfect for those planning a trip to Europe. Shore tours, hotel stays and transportation can all be pre-arranged and paid for in advance in US or CAD dollars.
• Deals Galore - There are fantastic deals on just about every cruise. Some 7 night Caribbean Cruises are selling for as low as $299 per person, when you add in everything that is included, it is almost cheaper to cruise than stay home.
• Use a Professional Travel Agent - Travel agents are the first to receive deals from the cruise lines and can help you save thousands of dollars and countless hours trying to "Get the Best Deal". The best part is that their services are free. Don't book directly with any cruise line, they are not able to provide the same level of service and you won't save any money. The truth is that the cruise lines quote the same rates to travel agents as they do to direct customers. In many cases, travel agents also have group space that they can book you into that will lower your price and provide additional amenities.
