When Should I Book my Vacation

I feel like I'm a one-woman show who wants to advise EVERYONE to book their vacation 8 - 12 months out for the best value. Remember, great value, isn't always the lower price. If you save some money on a cheaper airline ticket but have to use an expensive cab to get you to your cruise ship or hotel, you might end up spending more money.
Today, the cruise ships sail out full, and, as the sailing date gets closer, the prices inch up. At "my" agency, we lower the price of your cruise fare if the price goes down between the time your place a deposit and final payment.
Location! Location! Location! Booking further out also allows you the best choice of your cabin. If it's a land-based vacation, you'll have your choice of, say, an "ocean view" or "lakeside" cabin instead of the less popular (although less expensive) "garden view" room.
Happy travel!
