Well, if you want a good deal, you should be. With the uncertain fuel prices and nervous airlines, this summer is already shaping up to be a bit of an enigma, but here are some strategies you can use to make the most of your vacation budget. Summer is always the most popular time to go anywhere because kids are out of school and people take the time to travel.
Hawaii prices are also at their peak in the summer.
In addition to being a huge family destination, Hawaii is also tops with honeymooners, making June one of the busiest months of the year. Again, because people have the time, summer is a peak season. But because the vast majority of the ships are doing Alaska during those months, the few ships remaining in the Caribbean and the one ship doing the Mexican Riviera tend to be priced higher. There are definitely deals to be had throughout the summer, but you need to be flexible. If you can take vacation in June or July rather than one specific week in June, you have a much better chance of a special appearing that suits your vacation budget.
