Do not stick with same search term, add variations to your search. Advertisers will use different target search terms for their packages.

- Look for Off Season Cruises. It depends on what your destination is. Be sure to check out what are the low season months for a given spot. Prices during those times drop considerably to attract more people.

- Inaugural Cruises. When

lines launch a new ship, they make offers and incentives to get people to try the ship.

- Repositioning Cruises. These are cruises that are sent to another destination to cover demand (for example a Alaska cruises that are sent to the Caribbean). Cruise lines will try to cover their expenses of doing that journey by charging low prices.

- Check large vacations suppliers. Large suppliers have low prices. Be sure to check with Travelocity or online suppliers like CruiseDirect.com since they can make customized packages.

- If you belong to the military, try going through the Tickets & Tours office on the base/post. They let people make interest-free payments, and that helps when you're on a tight budget!

- Follow the too early or too late rule. That is book early or late. Prices drop on these very extreme booking conditions.

Finally, always remember to choose the right line and ship. Be sure you are going to be satisfied by it, and don’t get caught in beautiful brochures and pictures. Sometimes a cheap vacation can turn out to be a quite expensive one at the end, due to unexpected expenses. There are plenty of sites online that can help you review cruises.
