Best pricing for booking cruise?

[IBLarsen]

Just now looking to book for the coming summer, and I'm finding Travelocity seems to be cheaper than Disney directly. Is there anywhere else I should be looking to compare? Any advantages to booking directly with Disney? I love to plan, just not sure where to start with cruises

Just a note - DCL doesn't allow travel agencies to discount their fares. If you're seeing a lower price on another site, just be sure you're comparing apples to apples. Do both fares include port taxes & fees? Same category? Same sailing date? Are gratuities included?

That being said, travel agency costs can be lower, if they give back an Onboard Credit out of their "cut" for using them to book a cruise.

Typically the lowest prices for any given cruise are offered on opening day for that cruise. As the space onboard fills, the prices rise.

Thanks, that helps me to know what to look for! I haven't gotten that far, just far enough to look at pricing down to the room category and very initial searching.
