What cruise booking websites do you know of?
We are looking to book a cruise for our honeymoon and I am researching for the most affordable options.

Thanks a million!

We booked ours through a local travel agent and got a pretty good deal.

We usually book directly through Carnival (to get the "past guest" perks) but I also get the Cruises Only e-mails. Their stuff usually is pretty competitive, but not a ton cheaper for what we're interested in.

We booked a Carnival cruise for our honeymoon in April through a local travel agent.

We booked directly through Royal Caribbean's website for our cruise last November. We loved it btw, we would take another cruise tomorrow if we could :)

Where did you go? How was the weather in November? I assume November/October are cheaper the peak months but if the weather is rainy its not worth it. I'm dying to know, as I just spend the last 3 hours researching options! Yeah I am a little obsessed here :yesnod:

Don't assume peak season means peak weather! I went on my first cruise over spring break (so early March) and the weather was kind of awful. It stormed most of the time and even when it wasn't raining it was cool (which was nice) but the water was freezing and too choppy to really do anything. We ended up getting a refund on our snorkeling because we just couldn't do it! Even with the weather being less than ideal, it was so awesome! I was more than ready to go on another one.

We're looking to take another one in October. It's my family's favorite time to go because not only is it cheaper and less crowded, it's not insanely hot but still nice enough to enjoy.

We went the week of Thanksgiving to the Bahamas. It was great weather, not too hot but still hot enough that we were able to get into the water at their private Island, CocoCay.

We only did a 4 night cruise, because we got a great deal on it. We only paid $189 a person for an "outside" window room for the whole 4 nights. Which of course includes all food and such. That is without tips though. It was a FL resident rate, but other states sometimes has deals too.

Here is a video I made of our trip after we got back. We really did love it and would do it again in a heart beat. I'd also sail again with Royal Caribbean again in a heart beat they were amazing. (I'm sure the other cruise lines are just as amazing though)
