Here are my personal recommendations for cruise bookings…
- Cruise Bookings: If you are a first-time cruiser, read the pros and cons of each booking method. Complete the form below if you want me to connect you with a trusted cruise booking agent. If you are confident booking yourself, I recommend Cruise Direct as the cheapest option.
- Excursions: I provide reviews and recommendations for popular excursions here, but if I have not yet covered your desired excursion, I recommend Viator for independent and affordable cruise excursions. Know the pros and cons of booking independently versus with the cruise line.
- Resort Passes: For a day pass at a resort (a great excursion alternative), I recommend Resort for a Day.
- Hotels Near Cruise Ports: I provide hand-picked hotel recommendations here, but for general hotel bookings I suggest Expedia.
- Transfer Service: Cruise line transfer service from airport to port is often inconvenient and overpriced, so I recommend Get Transfer instead
- Car Rental: As with hotels, I recommend Expedia for car rental options at and near cruise port locations.
- Flights: I recommend using third-party vendors to search for the cheapest flight, but always book direct.
- Luggage Storage: Radical Storage is best for stowing luggage affordably when you have a late flight home.
