Deadline for Early Booking Savings

[Susan Prescott]

How far in advance do you have to book a cruise to get the early booking savings discount? We are thinking of going on the 4 day on 2/22/04. We noticed that the discount is still available but are wondering how long it will last.

There is no specific deadline. Each sailing has number of early booking savings "tiers", and as they get bookings with their set number in each tier the sailing moves into the next higher pricing level. Thus it's possible for sailing dates a week apart to be in different EBS tiers.

As a general rule, the earlier you book the higher the likelihood that the sailing will be in the best EBS tier. On popular sailing dates it's possible that EBS would be gone a few months out; on other sailings you may still get a little bit of EBS booking close to the travel date.
