How to Know If a Cruise Deal Is Actually a Deal

✔ Compare the fare from last month

Cruise lines often adjust pricing before a sale. I always check price-history and past promos to confirm if a Black Friday offer is truly valuable.

✔ Look for included perks, not just the ticket price

Sometimes an “okay” fare paired with free drinks + WiFi + OBC beats a cheap fare with zero extras.

✔ Don’t forget total trip cost

Your cruise fare isn’t the full picture, airfare, transfers, hotels, and gratuities matter.I always calculate your true cost before booking.

When to Book

Black Friday deals typically run:November 20 – December 2, 2025…but cabin categories sell out fast, especially:

• Suites

• Family staterooms

• New ships (Icon, Utopia, Sun Princess)

• Peak holiday / school break sailings

If you want the best cabin at the best price, booking early in the sale window is key.
