How do i find a good deal on cruise trips?And does it include air travel or is it a different price?
I suggest you check prices at a couple places. AAA.com is one, vacationstogo.com and of course the cruise lines website. Cruise prices do not include airfare. The cruise line would be happy to book your airfare if you wanted that but I suggest you book your own. Another thing you can do is to look for a “no-fly” cruise. It means you would be able to drive to the cruise terminal, that would eliminate the air travel expense.
Hope I helped!

Here a few simple tips for getting the best price on your cruise:
1. Cruise when most kids are in school. As less demand equal lowers prices, cruise when other can't.
2. Book either far in advance or at the last-minute (i.e., 3-6 weeks out)-as these are the times when the best deals can be found.
3. Surf the web for deals. This will help you the sailings with the lowest demand, but don't buy at the price advertised. As cruise lines only let agencies promote retail prices, you can do better.
4. Once you find a sailing you like, you need to get custom quotes directly from agents to get the best price. You can contact each agency yourself, or you can put a quote request into http://www.CruiseCompete.com and let the agents come to you with their best offers.
5. When you compare offers, always make sure you're comparing apples-to-apples. While all CruiseCompete quotes include all charges to make them easy to compare, many sites don't add all charges until the final booking screen. Also, consider the value of onboard credit provided for your cruise especially on Royal Caribbean-owned lines. An extra $100 in your onboard account is just as good as a $100 discount off of your cruise fare.
As to airfare, you'll get the best deals if you shop for and buy it directly. I recommend http://www.Kayak.com for airfare. You may want to fly in a day early to make sure you make your sailing.
Good luck!

Cruise prices do not include air. It would be hard to do that as people come from all over the world so the costs would be different for everyone. To get the best deal, work with a reliable cruise specialist such as those at Cruises Inc., or Cruise One.

I cruise a lot. Find a good travel agent. You can get air with the cruiseline but usually you can get a better deal on your own. Good luck & happy sailing!

search for cheap tampa cruise deals — you can include or get help with the air too.
Good luck
