why do the cruise booking sites assume you can go at any time

[pliskin2003]

Why when searching for a cruise and you put in from 7/9/2012 to 10/9/2012 as starting dates.

do they offer cruises in august and october i have 2 weeks booked for sept and cannot go at other dates . or are all other cruisers retired ?

Hi, Brian.

 

Sorry in advance if this is a daft question, but are you certain the cruise sites you are using are expecting the dates you enter to be in the UK date format (day/month/year) rather than in the US date format (month/day/year)?

 

Perhaps your request is being interpreted as dates in US format (July 9, 2012 to October 9, 2012). Just a thought.

 

Regards,

John.

I don't know whether the "cruise booking sites" Brian refers to are travel agent websites or cruise-lines websites. But I do know that there is one well-known travel agent website that annoyingly always gives you the months either side of the one you requested a quote for. There are plenty others out there that don't do this.
