Answer
Nowadays, there is so much competition in the cruise market, you can really save some money by shopping around! To begin, you should check the websites of the cruise companies themselves. Since they don't have to pay commissions when you book directly with them, there's sometimes really great deals. Next, try the wholesalers such as Expdia, Travelocity, Orbitz or Priceline. There are some great deals to be found, especially if you're booking a cruise close-in. Also, you may wish to check with your local travel agent! Although the web might be easy to research your cruise, take your notes to a travel agent that specializes in cruises and see if they can do better. Often a high-volume booking agent has a bit of clout with the cruise lines and can not only muster together a better deal or a nice upgrade - they can often offer you on-board credit to spend on tours, shopping, dining or more!
Moral of this story: Do your homework and you can end up with a great deal on your next vacation!
Actually the cruises lines will NOT "cut a better deal" than going through a travel agent. You best bet is to be part of a larger group. Then find a cruise travel agent that doesn't charge any booking fees.
I think you can find the best price for Cruise Deals at Express airline tickets.com
