Early Booking Question

[gottaluvpooh]

I wanted to do a search on this, but it is disabled.

Approximately how much do you save on Early Booking - per person? Anyone know off hand? It looks to me to be a considerable amount.
Thanks

It's not a set amount or percentage, but a kind of sliding scale based on how a particular sailing is selling. The best advice is "the earlier you book, the better." As sailings fill to certain points, the cost of the remaining rooms will increase. Also, some sailings will fill more quickly than others, and you could conceivably find a better rate from week to week. If your dates aren't set in stone, you might consider getting quotes from several different dates around the same period of time, and you may find that a particular sailing has a better deal.

You could end up saving quite a bit of money, depending on how early you book. DCL does not generally have last-minute discounts, as other lines do, because they do not usually have problems filling their ships.
