• Repositioning cruise

  I use vacationstogo.com to search cruises. You do have to sign up but the only pestering is a newsletter which you can opt out of easily. Source: 5 months ago

• First time cruise questions

  Once you know what cabin you want on a particular cruise, check prices on the cruise line web site, smartcruiser.com, cruise.com, costco.com, and maybe vacationstogo.com. Source: 5 months ago

• Seeking advice from experienced one way cruisers

  I like vacationstogo.com You can put in transatlantic, transpacific, or repositioning as the region in their search engine. Source: 10 months ago

• Solo cruising is so expensive!!

  I use vacationstogo.com and tell it to search for single rooms. Last year there were some incredible values. This year, not so much, but there are a number of cruises with no single supplement. Other cruises have a single supplement, but it is less that 100 percent. Often these values are offered as the cruise sailing date gets closer. After I find a cruise on vacationstogo I visit the cruise lines' website to see... Source: 10 months ago

• Options for solo travelers

  Vacationstogo.com's website allows you to search for single-occupancy fares and then sort results by single supplement and price per night. There are still good deals out there, just not quite as many as before. Source: about 1 year ago

• Costco Travel?

  If booking a cruise I would check out vacationstogo.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is this cruise/ship also a decent option for a first time?

  You haven't said if Charleston is the only port you're considering. For all 12 cruises I've been on, my goal was to pay about $100 per person/per day - and that's for an ocean view or balcony cabin, solo or with my daughter. I've paid a bit more and a bit less, but that price for an inside cabin isn't great. I toured downtown Charleston in Dec 2014 and the locals did not like Carnival, I remember the signs - think...

• Would this be a good first time cruise?

  Someone else mentioned it too, but vacationstogo.com has a 90-day ticker that shows all the cruises that still have open cabins in the next 90 days. You can filter it to look for cruises that depart from NOLA :). Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for advice on solo cruise

  I'm a part-time travel agent with a host agency. I generally just book for myself, family and friends. I only bring this up to introduce what I've found is the best way to search for cruises. It's vacationstogo.com. They have a wonderful search engine with a lot of parameters to help you narrow your search. Cruise prices are typically given as the price per person based on double occupancy. In addition to... Source: about 1 year ago

• Website recommendations, please

  I agree with vacationstogo.com, they've booked all 11 of my cruises. Set up an account, start getting their cruise newsletter emails, add your state, any affiliations (age 55+, first-responder, teacher, military, etc) for additional discounts. Daily specials are posted on their website and I always use the Custom Search engine, then you can order results by price, cabin type, date, etc. They are based in Houston...

• Advice for 30 y/o couple wanting to cruise for the first time in Northern Europe?

  What's your budget? There are relatively inexpensive options (such as MSC, or Costa if you're feeling brave and/or speak Italian), mainstream lines (such as Royal Caribbean and Norwegian), premium lines (such as Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity), and luxury lines (including Viking, Oceania, and Silversea). Using the search function on vacationstogo.com (always my starting point!), I'm seeing 119 7-day... Source: about 1 year ago

• I just booked a solo trans-Atlantic cruise

  I like to use vacationstogo.com as it will give single prices for most cruise lines. For some reason it filters out Celebrity ships when searching for singles. I also use the cruise lines' web page. Source: about 1 year ago

• NZ-based Travel Agent online or serves nationwide

  I've used this vacationstogo.com for six cruises. Best value and good service. Source: about 1 year ago

• what would be a good first cruise for us?

  Your best bet is to speak to a travel agent. I'd look at what cruises are available at vacationstogo.com for the dates and ports you're interested. Click around until you find a few you like and then call one of their travel agents. Tell them what you like to do and share any concerns. You'll find the focused advice more helpful than the scattered opinions here. Our agent is Felicity. Source: about 1 year ago

• Cruise for honeymoon

  If you can plan getting to the boat, then I say a planner isn't needed because the cruise itself solves most vacationing logistics issues. Take a look at vacationstogo.com. Use the custom search and you will get a good idea of dates, availability, and prices. Congrats and have fun! Source: over 1 year ago

• What's a good website to find a cruise to go on?

  Hidden 'bullshit' is complicated but vacationstogo.com has a nice interface and is pretty good about comparing apples to apples. (Just assume there will be tax and gratitutities (it's a US-based companY) ontop. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any tips/hacks for getting a deal?

  Calling will not help. Even if you find a better price on another cruise line. They will just tell you to book with them. As others have said, once you sail and are in the VIFP club, you will get offers. If you gamble a bit, you will get casino offers. You can try a site like vacationstogo.com but you will likely see the same prices. Source: over 1 year ago

• Absolute last minute plans

  Absolutely yes. Check cruise.com, vacationstogo.com, expedia.com etc. To get an idea of what's available. Then check the individual cruise line pricing for those sailings to compare pricing/availability (sometimes some of these show spots for sailing the others don't). Enjoy! Source: over 1 year ago

• Cruises while living in Alaska?

  We have cruises leaving here in Whittier, which is only an hours drive south of Anchorage(a lot of people aren't aware of Whittier in Anchorage, shockingly!) Matter of fact, they're building a brand new cruise ship dock here, the groundbreaking started very recently. Hubbers and I love to cruise too, check out vacationstogo.com and check out their deals!! Have a great day!! Source: over 1 year ago

• Sold out cruise, been trying to book a cruise and the cabin category I wanted sold out just a couple hours before is there a chance that it can possibly open back up? Do people cancel their trips a lot or get upgraded to open them back up?

  I may be wrong but I thought each of the larger cruise travel sites like vacationstogo.com, crucon.com, cruisecritic.com etc. Buy cabins in the different categories at wholesale from the cruise companies. Then it's up to these companies to resell them or eat what they paid. If this is true then maybe one of them has a cabin in their inventory. Might be worth your time to check a few to see what you get. Source: over 1 year ago
