Looking for a good deal on a Caribbean cruise

[J. Eric Eckard]

I have a specific date in mind, and it's pretty much set in stone. I'd like to depart from an upper East Coast port (Norfolk, Baltimore, Charleston, in that order). The destination - Carribbean - is flexible - either one island or a group of islands. I guess I'm looking for the best deal, and I was wondering if anyone cam recommend a website. I've never searched for cruises.

I've found deals on a site called cruisecritic.com. I also think they're a good site for finding out if a cruise ship is right for me because every cruise ship is different. My single complaint with them is that they address American instead of Canadian travelers but that is probably not a problem for you.

My wife uses cruisecritic too but she also uses cruisecompete and she gets good deals.

Hi Eric - we have been working with a select number of Cruise Lines for 40 years here at Ideal Travel. We have several cruise specialists who have also been on just about every cruise worldwide.

If you would like to send me your dates, I can have one of our specialists look into it. They often have last minute specials that are only made available to them as well as blocked off seating at special rates.

Best, Lisa Cohen - Ideal Travel - www.idealtravelalongtheway.com
