Is there a cheaper day to book?
Is there a particular day of the week that it is cheaper to book a cruise?

There are sales that start on Tuesdays at times. Depends on the cruise you want. I tend to look for the best prices and then decide if it is a place we want to visit. Have to factor transportation etc though. Just what I do. We tend to book ports within a short driving distance.

Other than the sales Royal typically has on Tuesday, there is not a day that they have the best prices. (I assume you are thinking about the airlines, and booking on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon?) If you are flexible you could wait for the last minute and try to grab a lower rate. If not, I think you are better off booking as soon as you can, and keep an eye out to see if there are any price reductions, before your final payment due date.

All pricing is driven by "Supply & Demand" and can increase or decrease at any time. There is no best day to book other than to check pricing regularly.

Did you know that you can book a cruise and then check the price of your cruise from time to time by doing a mock booking? If you find that the price has come down then you can just call and they will adjust your price. You can do this until your final payment date then you no longer can get the price adjustment.

Thanks all. I have been checking off and on. But wondered about a better day to check. We are cancelling our cruise and rebooking for another day.

It seems to be so random lately. Price drops in the morning...spikes in the afternoon...then reversed up in morning down in the afternoon. Best advise check frequently.
