Top 5 tips: How to get great Caribbean deals

#1 - Look at itinerary lengths outside the normal 3, 7 and 10 night cruises as they are the most popular. All other lengths might offer potentially good deals.

#2 - Consider causing on older ships. Since they lack the amenities and the hype of the newer ships and they tend to be deployed on shorter or less popular routes, they are much more affordable than newer ships. Service is still good though and you’re still having an excellent cruise.

#3 - Subscribe to email alerts with the cruise lines you are most likely to cruise with and sign up to 101cruise.com.au newsletter to get the best deals sent right to your inbox.
