So here we are with insider’s tips and tricks on cruise before you set those sails open. These tips are not only about making you comfortable but also save you some moolah on the way!

1. Beat the peak season

Have you ever wondered the difference between late August and early September? Well, practically nothing but when it comes to booking your cruise, it might be the difference between peak and off season. Let us face it, going on a cruise is an expensive affair so try booking a week before or after the peak season. The discounts are hefty and the crowd that much less.

2. Special welcomes…. Why not?

For first timers’ cruise tips, this one is really valuable! Our regulars swear by the special welcomes that you can request for your loved ones on-board. Simple gestures like flower bouquets, chocolates, decorations in the cabin can come at really low rates but the happiness on the faces is well…..priceless! And if you are a member, then these guys should be able to do quite a bit without slamming a bill on you…better check.

3. Dive into bills before hand

If you are amongst those who hate queues or waiting then our biggest advice is to ask for your bill a night before the cruise is to end. Staff will be happy to give it to you and you will have ample time to check it. This is something you must do if you have availed various billable facilities on the ship.

4. Do your own Pre and Post bookings

Don’t get us wrong, your cruise company can do a great job booking your rooms and cab rentals for before and after the cruise but the rates are for anyone to guess. To make sure that one does not miss the ship, most of the passengers like to arrive before the designated day and if you are to de-board at a nice port then it only makes sense to explore it. When you do the bookings yourself, you are bound to find better price. Also, book in the hotels that are little away from the actual port because the once near it would have a high tariff owing to demand.

5. Eating in the room is not a bad idea
