Yes, Cruises Really Do Sell Out!!….

This morning a two night cruise on Celebrity Silhouette went on sale for 28th April next year.

This will be the first time Silhouette has sailed from Southampton so a great opportunity to see the ship without the hassle of flying. At a lead-in fare from just £299pp including all drinks, food, entertainment and gratuities, it was a bargain.

Silhouette takes nearly three thousand passengers and as I write this, there are only a handful of cabins remaining which we expect to see go in the next hour or so. So yes, cruises really do sell out and often very quickly.

One of the most frequently asked questions is when to book. sadly, however experienced we area t selling cruises, we do not have crystal balls and can never give an exact answer to this. Mainly, the best time to book depends on what your requirements are. If you need family cabins in school holidays, book early. If you require single occupancy or adapted cabins, book early. If the sailing you are looking at is a unique itinerary or your leave dates are set in stone then, you’ve guessed it, you will need to book early!

If you are completely flexible as to when and where you travel and want a bargain, you may want to leave this until the last minute but nowadays, the ships are often full before this.

Cruising is an incredibly popular form of holidaying these days as very good value when you consider all that’s included on board and most importantly to me, how many destinations you get to visit in the same trip.

Remember too that all cruise lines, as do airlines, work on a live pricing basis so the quicker something is selling, the higher the chance that the price will increase so, the longer you wait to book, the more you may pay.
