How Long Can I Wait To Book A Cruise?
We are interested in cruising this summer, but also trying to get pregnant. I don't want to take the trip if I am pregnant. How long can I wait before booking a cruise? I'm looking at a Royal Carribean trip. We've never cruised before.

You can book up until the last minute - providing there is availability.

The price of the cabins goes up the closer to your sail date. I booked just a few days over 60 day mark before my sail date and after that the rate of our cabin increased about $200.00 and I assume it just kept going up.

Or it can go down if bookings are soft. There's no way to say with certainty whether the price will be lower or higher as the sailing date approaches. I've booked a week in advance before.

But remember, the later you BOOK, the higher the airfare will be UNLESS you live in FLA...

Take Insurance that has a pre existing waiver so in case you don't feel like going due to your condition or get ill on board you will have some assistance.
