Discount Cruises info

[tims]

We are looking at a cruise for our upcoming US holiday - I've been trying to find the best website to get discounted cruises and so far Vacations to go seems pretty good. Has anyone used other websites (including PRICELINE / HOTWIRE) that offer the best discounts or are they all pretty much the same?

thanks

Hotwire sells cruises, however not at a discount such as you find with their hotel product. They pretty much sell them at the going rate you can find through any traditional or Internet agency.

If you already have in mind a specific cruise ship sailing on a specific date, you can utilize a terrific service called www.cruisecompete.com. You enter the cruise ship & saliing date, type of accomodation desired (inside, outside, balcony or suite) and submit your quote request. It will be sent to participating Travel Agents and they in turn will reply back to you via email with quotes. We have used this service several times and always select the agency selling at the best rate and offering the most perks (shipboard credits, prepaid gratuities, etc).

Good luck!
