Question by occollegefoodie: Should a book a cruise for December now?
The bf and I want to take a 3 day cruise to Mexico in December. I found a deal a main upper deck ocean view cabin for $ 590 total including taxes.

Is this a good deal? And if so, should I book it now or will there be better deals very last minute?

I also have a few other questions: Does deck level matter? Does oceanview or inner cabin make a difference since you’re barely in your room? Do I have to pay the total upfront? If so, what’s the refund policy and how much is insurance?

If you know a travel agent that could answer these questions for me and/or give me a better deal and is in the OC area please refer me to them. Or if they could communicate with me via email that would be fine as well. THANKS SO MUCH!

$ 590 isnt a bad price but I have seen lower. In fact, you can get a 4-day cruise for that price, depending where you want to depart from. Check prices on this site..http://vacationstogo.com/ticker.cfm?rm=1&r=0&l=8&m=200912&n=1

You will see better deals especially with Carnival.
Deck level doesnt really matter. Some people like to be near the buffet deck or casino area. Mid ship is usually best for cabin location.
I like balcony cabin if its not to much extra. Nice to walk out there and hang out. Inside cabins are like caves, very dark. You pay deposit first, then you make final payment like 30 days prior to cruise. Refund policeys vary from all cruise lines. I never purchased Insurance, you can but it doesnt cover everything.

I suggest you call 1800 carnival. Ask them all questions. They will be happy to answer them and discuss there specials. There are many good prices in December. Shoot me an email anytime if you like.
