Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean Cruises Times cruised before: 1-2
Cruise Ship: Brilliance of the Seas Sailed: August, 2008
Destination: Mediterranean Age: 36-45
We sailed on RC Brilliance of the seas in August this year for 12 nights around the med. I have just booked the same ship for next year for another 12 night cruise. Vertualy the same destinations apart from 3 ports of call which will be in Greece. Can anyone explain why it is over £1,000 pounds cheaper for next year.

Have you heard the term 'credit crunch' recently?

Also when did you book cruise 1 and when did you book cruise 2? The earlier you book the cheaper the price, the more RCI sell the more the price goes up, and if they have not sold out about a month before sailing the price comes down again. Keep a watch on the costs as if the price drops RCI will give you the lower price. I actually have a client who has a cruise booked for next August and already there has been a price drop for her of £300pp - that is quite a saving!

Do you have to book with RCI or does the reduction also apply if you book through an agent. I can't find anything that says that any price drop will be passed on. how do I book to get that offer. I hate to think that I book and then the price drops by a large amount. I have never cruised before and so am unsure of when to take the plunge and book for next Summer.
