I learned that it isn't always the case that interior staterooms are the cheapest option. A recent booking for a deluxe ocean-view stateroom on the Disney Wish ended up costing over $100 less than the interior cabins. This taught me the importance of exploring all options, as sometimes upgrading can actually save money.
Surprisingly, I discovered that newer ships in the same cruise line can sometimes be cheaper than older ones, despite having more amenities. My experience on the Margaritaville at Sea's Islander showed me that per-night costs can vary significantly, even between ships within the same line.
Joining online travel groups has been an eye-opener for me. Even as an experienced cruiser, I realized that these groups provide invaluable information and travel tips that can enhance my cruising experience and help me save money.
