You snooze you lose!!

So we have all heard the saying ‘you snooze you lose’………. I mean it in the nicest possible way!

Well it is very true even when booking your cruise holiday.

I love my job and love to assist you find that perfect cruise holiday but sometimes we cannot please everyone.  You may wonder what I mean, well let me explain…..

It is now the end of March 2017 and cruises for this summer have been on sale for a long while now and whilst I understand not everyone can book early, certain criteria really need to..

Family cabins for 3 or 4 people DO get booked up early so if you’re looking for a last minute cruise holiday and require a family cabin then you may well be disappointed when we can’t find one and we don’t like to say ‘NO’.

If you require a number of cabins for a large family group or a birthday celebration and you want cabins together then you need to book early.

This also goes for interconnecting cabins – few & far between on some ships.

Wheelchair accessible cabins also as not enough on these ships these days so definitely need to book early.

If you want a suite you also need to book early as not many on some ships.

New ships sell very quickly so again need to book early especially if they have new cabin grades e.g Celebrity Edge has sold out of the Edge Villas already for winter 2018/2109 as a new concept on this fab ship.

You want a specific itinerary and not many ships featuring it then again book early.

I hope this has helped you make that decision as it is frustrating for you when you can’t get what you want and more so for me as I want to help you but can only offer what is available.

Royal Caribbean sailings are now on sale for 2018 so if you want that specific cruise for next year then please take my advice above.

As you are reading this I am enjoying myself on board Fred Olsen Boudicca (again) visiting Antwerp & Amsterdam with my husband and some friends, so I will tell you all bout it in my next blog, so until then ‘cheers’…
