I just won a 10-day Alaska Cruise on the Norwegain Dream in May for a great price on Skyauction. It was at least $200 less per person than any quotes I could get online from cruise agencies.

Skyauction is a great place to get bargains if you know what to look for. I have gone a 9-day African Safari with r/t air for $1,200; a 7-vacation to El Salvidor; a7-day vacation to Negril, Jamaica; and r/t air to Australia. I have not had any problems at all.

You have to do some homework to know the going price for wherever you want to go and do. Read everything thoroughly on the Skyauction posting. Take note of the extra service/tax. etc. listed at the end of the page that the listing agency will add and factor in the $15 flat fee that Skyauction will charge, then decide what is the bottom line total $$ that you want to pay altogether (which should be lower than the going market price). Bid up to your limit and stop.

Don't worry if you don't win. The same package usually goes back up for auction as soon as one finishes.
Start looking early. It may take several tries to hit one that is not bid up by a bunch of people.

Good luck!
