I have a few questions about planning a cruise.
How far in advance do you usually plan and book a cruise? By deciding now to go on a cruise at the end of May is that enough time? We originally had a 7 night/8 day WDW trip planned but my DH asked us if we'd rather do a 3 or 4 night cruise then a few days at the park to make this year's trip different and we all agreed it sounded great. I just wasn't sure if that was enough time to get a decent stateroom and stuff. We have never been on a cruise so I have no clue where to start.
We'd like a verandah that's all I really know. Are there staterooms that people prefer or do you just pick randomly
Also we'd like to have 2 staterooms. Do I book it as a partial family then add a stateroom with the remaining members? Or do I book all 5 of us in 1 room? Is it a flat fee divided by double occupancy so it doesn't really matter in the end how I do it? I've priced the cruise I just don't know how to go about breaking it up so we get 2 rooms.
Do you know the interline discount for cruises? Or how far in advance special offers come out? I'm very familiar with WDW resort discounts and stuff just clueless with cruises.
Do they still do the land/sea pkg? It probably won't matter for us on this trip since we're using the interline discount right now for our resort stay unless the s/p/d or free dining is offered during our planned dates
Which would be a better time to cruise? the end of May or November. If November it would have to be holiday break since I teach and my kids are in school. Prices were similar so not concerned with that just weather/crowds
If you made it this far thanks. I'd appreciate any help that was offered
