Booking a cruise can be a bit of a mystery, right? It’s not always easy to figure out when or where to book. Some people find it helpful to use a travel agent because they can keep an eye on price changes better than you can. But sometimes, those third-party booking platforms actually have the best deals.
For example, you can book a cruise at Costco or use sites like Priceline Cruise. These options might get you a lower price, but they might also have less flexibility in other areas. The tricky part is that each cruise line has its own set of policies.
Everyone but Disney
Let’s take Royal Caribbean as an example. If you book with them and the cruise fare drops before the final payment is due, they’ll usually adjust your price by giving you onboard credit. MSC, on the other hand, has different rules depending on the type of base fare you’ve booked. And Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line each have their own pricing quirks.
Usually, booking early is the cheapest option, but sometimes booking late can actually get you a better deal. It’s hard to know for sure if you’re getting the best possible price. Just like airlines, hotels, and resorts, cruise lines might sell the exact same thing at very different prices depending on how and when you book.
This applies whether you’re booking a fancy cruise on Disney’s cruise line or a more affordable weekend trip on an older Royal Caribbean, Carnival, or MSC ship. Now, here’s some exciting news for cruise fans who happen to be T-Mobile customers.
T-Mobile, the wireless carrier, offers some unique perks to its subscribers through their “T-Mobile Tuesday” giveaways. They have a special app where subscribers can log in every Tuesday and get free stuff, discounts, and chances to win things. They’ve even given away season-long subscriptions to Major League Baseball’s streaming service in the past. And now, they’ve partnered with Cruisebound to offer discounts on cruises.
T-Mobile just launched their first-ever exclusive cruise booking platform in the T-Mobile Tuesdays app. Subscribers can go into the app, select “Travel,” click on the cruise tile, and start shopping for the best cruise deals. They can even earn up to $1,000 in onboard credits for eligible sailings. The best part is, you can use this service any day of the week, not just on Tuesdays.
In the T-Mobile Tuesdays app, you can compare prices, itineraries, ships, and cabin types from all the major cruise lines. They also offer personalized discounts based on categories like age, military service, and past cruise reservations. It’s a convenient way to book your next cruise right from your T-Mobile Tuesdays app.
If you book through the Cruisebound portal in the T-Mobile app, you can earn up to $1,000 in onboard credit. Although, keep in mind that you would have to spend $30,000 to earn that much credit, so most booked cruises will earn less.
You can book cruises from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, MSC, Norwegian, Princess, Holland America, Costa, and Celebrity through this service. However, Disney Cruises are not part of the promotion.
