Everything You Need to Save on a Priceline Cruise
By: Mary Elizabeth Hammond
Cruises are back and busier than ever. The high demand has more and more people looking for deals. (Except those people who booked this $73,499 cruise before it sold out in under three hours!) Booking a cruise on Priceline can save you up to 75% off brochure prices at well-known cruise lines. The Groupon Coupons team did some digging into Priceline cruises to uncover everything you need to know and the best ways to save.
How to Get the Best Deals on Priceline Cruises
Priceline works with several cruise lines to bring you deals. ( Click here for the full list .) You can search for cruises based on port of departure, destinations, cruise line, or price point. Booking via Priceline really can save you a pretty penny, but there are some important things to note about the pricing before you book.
Priceline cruises guarantee the lowest available price. If you find a lower price through another site within 48 hours of booking, they will refund 110% of the difference. There are some contingencies on this one, find all the info here.
The price will change based on the day of departure, departure city, ship, and stateroom level. (Trying different dates and departure cities could help you save a few dollars!) The price listed does not include a $24.99 (per booking) non-refundable processing fee. There may also be fees associated with the cruise line you choose. For example, if the cruise line adds a fuel supplement at any time before the trip, you could be charged a fee that will need to be paid before departure.
Cruise Lines Available on Priceline:
- Carnival Cruise
- Celebrity Cruise
- Costa Cruises
- Disney Cruise
- Holland America
- Norweigan Cruise
- Princess Cruise
- Royal Caribbean Cruise
- Virgin Voyages
There are also luxury cruise lines and river cruise lines that can be found here .
More Ways to Save on Priceline Cruises
- Find cheaper prices during a destination’s off-season. Prices tend to drop in the spring and fall for most locations. Do a little research about your desired destination before you book.
- Look for repositioning cruises. A repositioning cruise is a one-way voyage that happens when a ship is being moved from one region to another. When this occurs, prices tend to drop dramatically. (These most commonly sail during the off-season of a destination.)
- Plan (and schedule) ahead, but keep an eye out for last-minute deals too. Save big by planning your trip a ways out. Prices tend to be higher in the shorter term and are consistently lower when you book further out. But there are on occasion last-minute Priceline cruise deals. Carnival and Norweigan are the most common cruise lines to have last-minute deals. Just know that you have to be flexible on dates and accommodations, as you’re getting a deal on leftover inventory.
- You can sometimes get free spending money. Priceline is currently offering up to $2,000 credit to spend aboard during your Priceline cruise. Depending on the cost of your cruise, you will get somewhere between $50-$2,000 spending money that can be used as a liquor, dining, and spa credit. Find all the info on the offer here .
