My wife and I are planning on going on a Mediterranean cruise in October and I was wondering how far in advance I should book the cruise and buy plane tickets (Chicago to Venice).|||There is no rule. Go to vacationstogo.com and cruisedeals .com and search all the lines and ships. Vacationstogo.com has a 90 day ticker with bargains in the next 90 days as the lines try to get the cabins booked about then. Be patient as there are lots of deals.
Look for deals where airfare is included or available at a reduced rate. If you pick the cruise you want, call the website (vacationstogo or cruisedeals) and discuss including air. They can usually get air for less than half what you can.
Look for repositioning cruises that leave the US for the winter in the Med. Those are usually the best deals and you fly one way. Air is usually as much as the cruise if you buy it.|||Booking your cruise as far out as possible is the best. It also give you the best opportunity to pick the cabin that you want. All the cruise lines offer substantial early booking discounts.
The plane tickets are different, typically, airlines lower the airfare about 4-5 month before you fly. You can always use one of the online websites that have a low price guarantee that is someone books the same flight after you have at a lower price you will get a refund of the difference, like Orbitz.|||go to BookMe. You can compare prices on all the major travel sites from one location. It's the only way you can guarantee the cheapest prices online.
