Searching Cruises by price/category

[twinsouvenirs]

Hey all! Trying to find a cruise by price for a specific room category that is not the inside stateroom (time and itinerary are negotiable), and I'm basically clicking and charting on excel---is there a better way? Is there any third party search site or anything? It's taking forever and of course prices can change. I know for DVC, someone made a really clever search tool and then eventually Disney made their site WAY more customer friendly. I'm new to cruises, is something similar available anywhere?

You can find cruises on various online travel sites. But, typically, they will just show the inside prices (for starters). Not sure there's anywhere that you can search by room category/price. Usually the starting point is "Destination" and "date". Sometimes you can specify "length of cruise".

That's what I have been trying to figure out myself, haven't found a single app or site that allows for this.... been manually searching for July/August 2018 Alaskan Cruise (verandah) for 4 and wow pricey!! Hoping it drops a bit but I doubt it.

Well, July/Aug is prime (high) season for Alaska. That's when you'll find the highest prices. If you look to the shoulder season (May/June or Sep) you'll find lower prices.

I'll have to write the cruise line blog about this I think it'd be a good feature!

Thanks for the info, i almost lost my head when I saw the price o_0 13k+ for Veranda wow!, unfortunately due to kids school schedule those are the only months I have available..... but in SoCal (my area) they are starting the school year ealier .... and ending mid June so maybe I can get lucky!

What about the Stats tab on cruisefish.net - would that help narrow it down?

It has cheapest per day, you can select only DCL and the general cabin type.

Just testing. When talking about travel agencies, we're supposed to use the full URL (not a work around). There are some sites that are blocked here on DIS
