Repositioning Cruises

What is a "Repositioning Cruise"? The "repositioning cruise" is the shifting of a ship from one location to another.
Why reposition a cruise ship? Some parts of the world are not suitable for year round cruises. Alaska is a great example, the sailing season is from May to September when plenty of sunlight is available. The better known repositioning cruises are from Europe to the Caribbean, or vice versa.
How long is a repositioning cruise and what is there to do? Most ships stop in a couple of ports prior to crossing the ocean. These cruises are often 13 to 17 days of true ship relaxation, a cruise with many more sailing days than ports.
What is so great about a repositioning cruise? First of all it is a long relaxing, non hectic cruise. For people who really need to get away from it all, or just need down time and relaxation this is the best. Even better, these cruises are a very good value, some as little as $45 a day!

What is a cabin "Guarantee"?

Great question! When booking a cabin for a cruise, sometimes you have a choice of a cabin assignment or a cabin guarantee. Cabin Assignment is just as it sounds - your cabin is assigned the day you book the cruise. A cabin guarantee means that you paid the lowest possible price for a particular cabin category with the chance of being upgraded to a more expensive cabin.
That leads us to the next logical question - "Which one should I choose?" There are pros and cons to both:
Cabin assignment - you can choose, based on availability, your cabin. To be assured your cabin is mid ship or as far away as possible from the elevators, cabin assignment is the way to go.
Cabin Guarantee - you save money by being flexible with the location of your cabin. Sure you may book an inside cabin really cheap, and actually get the bottom line cabin or you may book the cheapest cabin possible and get bumped up to a higher deck or larger cabin. Then consider how much you saved.

best time to book a cruise

Someone asked me the other day, "when should I book my spring break cruise for next year?" That answer seems like a no- brain er, "book it now!" But why should someone commit to spring break more than a school year in advance? The big reason - price. When the cruise lines release their schedules for the following year, the initial prices are very low, to encourage people to book their space in advance. However, it does not take long for the price to go up. Take for instance Spring Break 2009. Port Canaveral FL is a very popular departure port especially for the the southeast United States where the distance is drivable. Disney, Royal Caribbean and Carnival sail from Port Canaveral. Next spring, Royal Caribbean will not offer a seven day cruise from Port Canaveral. What does that mean? High demand and higher prices for a seven day cruise.

I know there are people who don't feel like they can see that far into the future. Seriously, if you are booking a cruise for spring break, you probably have children and they are probably involved in something that could possibly upset your scheduled spring break cruise. But think about it, if you are thinking about going on a spring break cruise why not go on and book it, and lock in a lower price. My Cruise Outlet encourages clients to lock in the lowest price and they remind clients that all deposits are 100% refundable prior to final payment. No risk! The next question is always - "what if the price goes down?" MCO will honor the lower price. See no Risk!
