Cruise and flight discounts?

Recommended Posts

I know orbitz and expedia and all them offer it with hotels. But they dont give an option for it with cruises when i know its needed alot for most people. Cruise ship planned airfare is expensive vs paying full price and i know they can cut prices good when u book 2 things.

 

Anybody seen any sites like this?

I have never seen anyone book air and cruise together other than the cruiseline,and I would never do that, myself.

 

We always book airfare on our own where we have control. when booking airfare, always look at the day before and day after. Enjoy the port city an extra day if you have to, often saving money on the process.

 

As to hotel and airfare together. Sometimes the savings is all in the slight of hand.

I would agree with garycarla--with cruise booked flights, you have little control over the filgihts (departure time, arrival time, number of connections) and they generally try to get you there the same day as the cruise, something I'm very wary of since I've had several missed connections and delayed flights due to weather or mechanical problems. There are a couple of good sites such as Kayak and Bing (the latter also makes buy/hold recommendations, I'm not sure if Kayak does). I've yet to book both hotel and flights together and have not been disappointed in the prices I get with a good online site.
