Step 1 of 8
Compare & Book Your Cruise Here
Book with us and become part of the crew: every cruise you book through our search moves you up Cruise Granny's VIP Crew (cruises only). Start here: your sail date and port decide everything else.
Step 2 of 8
Compare & Book Travel Insurance
Do this right after you book the cruise. Many policies only cover pre-existing conditions if you buy within about 14 to 21 days of your first trip payment. The exact window is set by each insurer. We are not licensed insurance advisers.
Step 3 of 8
Compare & Book Flights
Fly in the day before. A delayed flight should never cost you the cruise.
Step 4 of 8
Compare & Book Rental Cars
Compare a few, and check where you drop the car off near the port.
Step 5 of 8
Compare & Book Hotels
Stay near the port, not the airport, so the morning of your cruise is a short, calm drive.
Step 6 of 8
Compare & Book Your Excursions
Independent tours usually cost less than the ship's, and are often run by the very same local operator.
Step 7 of 8
Check In Online & Add Your Documents
About 30 days before you sail, or sooner if your cruise line asks: open your cruise line's app or website and enter your passport or ID details, your photo and your emergency contact. Do it the day check-in opens, because it sets your boarding time, and print your luggage tags from it.
Step 8 of 8
Watch Your Inbox for Pre-Cruise Deals
Your cruise line will email offers for drink packages, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, specialty dining, excursions and more. Many cost more if you wait and buy them on the ship: Carnival's CHEERS! drink package is $69.95 a day before you sail and $74.95 on board. Compare the ship's tours with the independent ones in Step 6 before you buy.

If stairs, gangways and tenders are a problem, there is a whole section of this site for you. Sails Anyway covers accessible and limited-mobility cruising properly instead of squeezing it into a paragraph: what each pier actually asks of you, which tender ports are a problem and why, the special-needs forms and the deadlines that catch people out, and how to choose a cabin you can move around in.
