If you decide that the fare discounts offer good value, don’t forget to account for the high prices of summer flights to Europe and any pre- or post-cruise stays you might want to book independent of the cruise line. Look at the potential total cost of your trip before making a booking decision to ensure you stay within your summer travel budget.
