Simple Ways to Save at Cruise Critic
Cruise Critic is your best friend when planning a cruise because it's packed with info and deals. The easiest way to save isn't always a single coupon code; it's about being a smart shopper. Here are the simple things you can do:
- Check the "Deals" Section: This is the #1 place to start. Right on their homepage, you'll find a link to their cruise deals. They partner with cruise lines to offer exclusive pricing you might not find elsewhere.
- Sign Up for Price Alerts: Found a cruise you love? Cruise Critic lets you set a price alert. If the price drops, they'll email you immediately so you can grab the lower rate or even ask for a price adjustment.
- Read the Forums: This is a secret weapon! Real people in the forums share the discounts they've found, like group rates or onboard credit offers. It's like getting tips from thousands of fellow cruisers.
- Look for Onboard Credit (OBC): Many deals include "free" money to spend on the ship. A deal with $100 in OBC is like getting a $100 discount on your drinks, excursions, or spa treatments.
