Looking to book the following cruise... I have never booked a cruise before.
Can someone point me in the right direction to get the best rates/deal?
What is the best way to book?
Where do I start my search?

www.vacationstogo.com is a good site. I have taken 2 cruises from NYC so PM me if you have any questions.

The only company i know of leaving from israel is Mano. I have never been on one of their cruise but i have friends who have and they liked it. But u cant compare them to the huge ships from royal caribbean or carnival... I also remember 2 years ago I read about large cruiseships making a stop in ashdod or haifa that would now allow people in israel to board the cruise in the middle and continue for the remaining of the trip. U can look into that also

FYI, thanks to a recommendation via PM from a fellow DD member, I found a very lovely couple that was extremely helpful & offered great pricing. If anyone needs some cruise help, feel free to PM me for their info. They are a franchise of Cruise Planners and were extremely helpful & answered all my cruise questions.

Better prices than expedia or vacationstogo? Or just worth it for the info?

Actually, the PM came from CBS, I didn’t want to post his name before getting his permission first. The price was better than Expedia since this couple charges the same price as Expedia and then splits the commission with you, so the price ends up being lower!

They were cheaper than www.cruise.com and the deposit is fully refundable until November 27th (unlike cruise.com).
