Tip #1 can be the difference between being able to go and not being able to afford the trip at all. I was waiting for a 2025 cruise to open up bookings as I had seen an initial price that was well within my price range. I missed the opening date for booking by two days and the price had already doubled. Sometimes prices go up FAST.

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi James! That is very true! Especially when it is a new ship. When Icon bookings opened we saw a huge price difference between the morning & afternoon of the first day! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Highly recommend the travel agent services. Issues, like Celebrity canceling our cruise due to repositioning, solved so quickly. Rapid response to all our questions no matter how small. Price drop adjustment. Just fabulous! Just love the Hoffmans. 😊

Thanks for reading my question and I was on one of the last cruises before Ben & Jerry partnership with Royal Caribbean was over❤

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Harriet! Yay! Thanks for the question! It's really too bad the Ben and Jerry's partnership ended because the cow suites were so fun! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Great TA matt . Definitely agree with the points. We looking as a couple at end 2025 and being of 2026 winter and spring off of prim time sailing. Seen lot of older rk ships look cheaper even carnival i was realy surprised about Disney then how cheap room for 2 adults around that time especially spring time. Mom and dad set sail Sunday on carnival magic

[@johnjohnrn8655]

Good info, I definitely was more impulsive this year as it pertains to cruises for me. I’m definitely going to plan better especially for Disney cruises.

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi! We can be impulsive at times too. We try to plan ahead cruises that tend to be more pricey (like new ships or certain itineraries). But it is definitely always a beneficial practice to plan ahead! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

[@brittanyc7572]

Great advice! We always book early especially with Disney. The prices increase over time and I’ve seen my same room go for 1-2k more later! ❤

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Brittany! ❤️ It's so true!!! The earlier the better! It can make a big difference! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

[@starkathr]

Hey Matt. I agree about the prices only going up over time. And about the yo-yo pricing later. My next cruise has been re-fared 2x already. (Thanks for looking after us). Also, be ready for the NextCruise that my wife just booked for her next year.

Definitely the next region you should come to Kerala is a beautiful place to see Munnar Wayanad

Hello Matt, I love your channel. I don’t understand why people alway talk bad about MSC, I was skeptical about MSC because of seeing vlogs and I tried it out this year, I’ve been on 3 cruises and found them to be just as good as other cruise lines. I travel the world and have seen issues on all cruise lines. I think it’s a cultural thing that people don’t understand MSC.

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Henry! I do agree that there are some cultural differences with MSC but there has been inconsistencies with guest experience as well. MSC has had some issues passing or almost not passing their health screenings and things like that. We didn't have any major issues on out MSC cruise either but I think they struggle at times. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
