No chit chat, just the facts here. This is when each region of the planet opens for sale.

Savvy cruise travelers buy far in advance for the best stateroom selection at a non-restricted fare, even if there are prices lower in a fare requiring a non-refundable deposit. They lock in the sailing, stateroom and dining time far in advance. A focus on price happens later and gets a lot of attention throughout the life of the booking. Odds are, buying a 2022 cruise now, your attention or your travel agent will find two or three different fares. Those changes along the way will elicit a progressively better value. All of the above are solid reasons to use a travel agent. Travelers often jump at the first shiny thing. A decent travel agent is focused on the fluid nature of a booking with a constant eye on the gold: the actual experience.
