Question by HMGator: Christmas in the Carribean: To book last minute or ahead of time?
My fiance and I will be married in October but only have time for a budget honeymoon in December after classes are over. We are considering booking a cruise or Caribbean vacation packages last minute in order to get a better deal. Would it be a mistake to try getting a last minute deal a few weeks before Christmas? Surely not everywhere is going to be full even at that time. Thank you in advance!

Answer by The Cruise Ladies
Most of the last minute deals on Christmas cruises are slim and far between. Most holiday sailing sell out early and rates increase rather than decrease. It is “supply and demand” If there are tons of cabins left, prices drop. If there are only a small amount-the price will go up.
I book my guests both ways and usually for a holiday sailing, booking early is best
