1st time cruisers

[annie2871]

My DH and I have decided that we want to do a cruise next summer for 10th anniversary. Originally, we weren't going to take the kids, but now we want to do a Disney cruise and there is no way our kids will allow us to leave them at home. I have a few questions, if you don't mind

1. When is the best time to book the cruise for the best deal?

2. When is the best time of year to go?

3. How do you get the 99 dollar cruise I saw on one of the posts?

1. The further out you can plan and book, the better chance you get for a good price.

2. I personally prefer to go in January. We live in Iowa and it is a nice break from winter for us. I think that January is typically a lower cost price, followed with September through parts of December, with maybe the week of Thanksgiving as an exception.

3. The only way to get the $99 cruise was that you must have sailed on either a four or seven day cruise last January. I think this may have been a one time deal for DCL, but one can always hope that they will do something like this again.
