Last Minute and Bargain Cruises

I'm looking for those 'cheap cruise websites', like skyscanner but for cruises. Any hints and tips for a cheapy??

Also, did anyone get any Black Friday/Cyber cruise deals? I missed out or they don't seem to exist!

    Cruises dont really do BF deals. They run on cycles based off of capacity and bookings.

    Best aggregator for Australia is Cruise Critic.

    Best other two are Cruise Guru (who often buy bulk rooms at a discount for resale) and Clean Cruising which maintains updated links to cruise inventory better than most, so if rooms are released, this is this first site to see it (apart from the cruise line itself)

    Cheapest times are generally early bird deals 12-18 months out and then 100 days and then 60 days. Rarely are their deals less than 30 days out.

    Lines run sufficient deals that you need to decide what you're chasing in terms of bang for buck. Cheap base rate? Cheap add-ons? Cheap or free guest/kids? Start there. If wanting to travel this year, options are seriously limited.

      ^^^^All this advice above is really Good!^^^
      I think you should actually choose the popular cruise locations, like the Mediterranean, over what is cheap.
      The reason something is popular or sold out is because it is the best.
      Cheap Cruises to less popular locations are really just wasting your time.
      Do you want to be on a cruise with lots of old people or young people?
      Do you want to be on a big boat with lots of people or fewer people?
      Also what is the weather like when you are travelling?
      Rough seas and sea sickness is a consideration.
      Also what if you become critcally sick right when you are about to travel?
      Make sure your holiday insurance covers unexpected sickness that prevents you from travelling.
