I need to book a cruise in late June and they are pretty pricey around that time. Should I wait to book closer to the date to get the best possible deal?

For a June cruise, you should book now.
It is high season and most ships are already sold out.
Carnival has a 24 hour price guarantee. If you find a lower price on-line within 24 hours of booking with Carnival, they will refund the difference to you.

DO NOT wait until the last minute or you will be left at the port. Even though there are a large number of ships and cruise lines now, they do sell out. Or, you may not want what is left to choose from. The price will not likely go down either. Your best bet is to book early, be flexible with the date that you want to go, and search all of the cruise lines to see who is offering a "deal". I have cruised many times and I always book my cruise as early as possible, like a year in advance.
As it is you are almost too late for a June cruise. Go to the cruise lines listed below and SHOP for a deal.

I think once upon a time that was true, but not so much anymore. Sometimes the ships are full several months before they even sail. Too many people in love with cruising. You sure can't be choosy about what cabin you get if you wait till the last minute.
Lots of times the prices go way up instead of down.

If there is an open ship you might get a deal ..but June is a heavy cruising month. it's just before the Hurricane season and when all the kids get out of school.

a million. relies upon on the cruise... if it is filling up, the fee will flow up by using fact the sail date gets closer... if it is not busy, there'll be a sale to sell some empty staterooms. 2. NCL demands a deposit in straightforward terms, this is totally refundable till 60 days to crusing. finished fee is due 60 days basically before crusing. 3. maximum advancements are no longer unfastened, yet heavily discounted. once you e book, point out to the representative which you will have an interest in an 'upsell' in the event that they arrive available. The cruise line could call you and grant a greater proper cabin for a decreased value. 4. you are able to, up till your cruise is paid in finished. basically save checking the fare, and in case you hit upon a decrease one, call them and have it adjusted. 5. i do no longer use a return and forth agent. i do no longer think that they could save me any money. 6. relies upon on your concern. we've not offered it interior the previous, in spite of the shown fact that it ought to be money o.k. spent if it have been ever needed. 7. I even have had great adventure with NCL. Room service from the room service menu is roofed on your cruise fare, and is available 24 hours. food interior the foremost eating rooms is extremely good. food in most of the area of craftsmanship eating places is wonderful. 8. Sorry, no adventure with the youngsters club..... yet.

You can make a great deal a few weeks before sailing date. If you want a particular itinerary or a specific cabin you need to book further out. If you're flexible you're lucky. However if you need airfare, that gets more expensive as you get closer. I always start my research at vacations to go. I can see if the price has dropped yet and where each ship sails.
