Introduction
Being on a tight budget doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t take a cruise vacation. Cruise Lines like Royal Caribbean offers many options for cruise vacations that will give you the cruise experience you need without totally killing your budget. You just have to be a smart shopper and know where to find deals.
Step 1
Planning a cruise vacation is much like planning any other vacation in that you will need to make sure you get a jump start on your planning, shop around for deals and make sure you have all of the necessary information while shopping for the perfect getaway.
Step 2
When shopping for a Royal Caribbean cruise the planning process is really not any different than you would entail with other vacation plans but there are some important details you need to make sure you have at your disposal when you need them because if you happen to find the right deal and you are ready to book, these are the things you will need to be prepared to enter online or the information you will need to give if you choose to book over the phone:
Number of passengers
Complete names of all passengers (must match what is on their identification)
Date of birth for all passengers
Address and telephone number for all passengers
Current health issues or illnesses of any passengers
Dining choices
Departure date
Type of stateroom and location
Is there a need for air transportation?
Past guest information if applicable
Whether anyone has cruised before
Method of payment
There are more questions you may have to answer when receiving quotes or booking a cruise but those are some of the main things. Age of passengers is an important factor because sometimes there are senior rates that will be available that will help you find a cheap Royal Caribbean cruise.
