Cruise prices right now are the lowest they have been in years, MarketWatch reported this morning, with the cheapest prices available today down 43% from the cheapest price in 2009.
MarketWatch quotes DealNews as listing the cheapest cruises on beleaguered Carnival at just $35 a night, but Royal Caribbean is not far behind, at $39 per person.
For Thanksgiving, bargain hunters can sail for as low as $349 for seven nights.
The slow season for cruises, the surge in inventory and a run of just plain bad news — including assaults, breakdowns and norovirus outbreaks — have all contributed.
The takeaway? It’s a great time to book a cruise!
