How do you define a cheap cruise? For some, it means spending less than a week's salary for a week at sea. Others define it as less than $100 USD per day, per person. Many are more concerned about the value they receive for each dollar, pound or peso. Definitions vary, but most ask one key question: where do I find cheap cruises?
 
Here are five techniques for finding a good cruise deal. Not every suggestion will work for every traveler or situation. They're presented in no particular order of importance. Choose a few and get busy! Cruising is still one of the best ways to travel, and bargains abound.

Re: Cheap Cruise Info

I'll be lucky to get a rowing boat out on the local park's pond LOL. A cruise would be fabulous and it's one of the many things on my bucket list. I'll remember this. Thanks micharch, that's good information.

Re: Cheap Cruise Info

Thanks, micharch! Carnival has a 72 hour Summer Sale on right now. There's only 1 day 13 hours left according to the countdown clock on the page.  The offer finishes on Sunday.

For the next 72 hours, book any of our select summer sailings, and you'll receive a FREE stateroom upgrade plus up to $240 to spend on board. Best of all, whatever you don't spend, you can take home with you.
