cruises in 2012

cruisingcats · January 18, 2009

We are looking to book a cruise of the Hawaiian Island in 2012. My question is....is it to early to book it now? I am sure I won't be able to book any air fares right now but want to book the cruise so I have plenty of time to pay for it.

Also when is the best time to go to Hawaii?

Thanks guys for all your help!!

if you can afford the deposit now.. i say it is never too early.. you get choice cabin location plus if the price comes down you should get that adjusted as well... also any new "fees" that the cruise line may impose after you book you would be protected by your early booking..

now which ship are you considering?

Because I have a credit with NCL for the cruise we just cancelled I will probably use them unless another cruise line can give me a better deal. Might consider them. Still in the planning stages but want to get started on this.

Thanks Joey!

Falina - I don't know any cruise line that has bookings open that far in advance but perhaps if you called them they could at least point you in the right direction.

Thanks MaryLou. I may have to wait until next fall or Jan. of 2010.

I am going to look at all the cruise lines to see what each one offers.

Falina, you and I are on the same wavelength! :wacko: my family doesn't want to go back to Mexico, or least back to the same ports...or go in Jan....just name your excuses...very long stories... :wacko:

anyway, they have agreed on Hawaii for a future cruise...so I want to at least start thinking along the lines of a future cruise maybe in 2011 or 2012, noway we could do it next year.

Maybe we could go at the same time. That would be fun.

Sorry to hear they don't want to go back.

thanks , I would like to go together if we go work out the time table...but it would have to be when the girls are out of school, at least for one week out of school...Rachael can't afford to miss 2 straight weeks of school...I hate to say this but she can't afford to miss 2 straight weeks of school and isn't most cruises to Hawaii at least 12 and 13 days? plus there would be our travel time.

They are that long if you plan on leaving from the west coast. Hadn't thought about that. We were thinking of flying to Hawaii then board the ship. It might be cheaper to board in Calif and cruise to Hawaii. Will have to do alot checking for both. You look and I will too. 2012 would be best for us but 2011 if it is later in the year.
