Viet is correct that September and October are excellent months for Caribbean cruises -- I wouldadd November, as well, except Thanksgiving week which commands a premium. For cruises to other areas, the shoulder seasons can somewhat different. The absolute best values are on repositioning cruises, when the cruise lines are moving their fleets, say from Alaska or Europe to the Caribbean or viceversa. So, look at a fleet calendar and identify when those changes take place. Then check out the prices on these cruises. Be aware, of course, that often there will be more sea days on these routes since, after all, the cruise line is really just trying to get the ship from market A into market B.Ted
