If you pursue three simple strategies -- from the
initial planning stages to the day you disembark from your ship -- you
can cruise like royalty and still keep your wallet fat with cash.
How to Book the Best Cruise Deal:
Book a Last Minute Cruise and Save Money
Many cruise lines, travel agents, guidebook writers, and
"cruise tip" websites will try to convince you that booking a cruise as
early as possible will result in the best discount cruise deal. Not
true -- you'll often save more money when you book a last minute cruise.

advance as possible, cruise lines will often offer plenty of
incentives, such as "two-for-one" deals with "free" airfare for early
bookers.

transportation and cabin space in the rates -- but not food
