I heard that sometimes stalling for time and booking a cruise a few weeks prior to the trip can save you a lot of money. But would I save as much if I booked 3 to 2 months in advance?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of waiting until the last minute? I'm guessing one of the negatives is that you'll be stuck with a left over room in a crummy location of the ship.
If there are any specific answers/experiences related to a Eastern Caribbean cruise that my friend and I are planning on taking this December (from Florida, most likely Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, or Cape Canaveral), I'd love to hear from you. Also, we might be on either the Carnival or Holland America.
Thanks a lot!
P.S.- Do shore-excursion prices get more expensive if you wait? Or are they pretty much consistent--as in you could either book them along with your cruise ticket, or you could wait until the trip starts?
