Agree with KK! To get a special cabin or cabin location ... you almost HAVE to book as soon as the cruise becomes available.

This is really true as well with B2B cruises to get the same cabin for both cruises. We just booked a B2B for next year -- mid January - mid February -- and our TA had one heck of a time finding a cabin for both weeks that we wanted.

I booked my June 2008 cruise in December 2006 and my June 2009 cruise a few weeks ago.

I am from florida so I try to book during non huricane months, I have enough to deal with then!!!

I usually book 8 months pluss in advance.
Which gives me plenty of time to pay the cruise and also cancel and re-book if a better deal comes along.
Would love to be able to do it sooner, the waiting time is a real killer.

We booked our next cruise about 23 Months out. I like it that way as it gives me lots of time to pay it off.
