Seeking advice from cruise experts for mother and three girls, ages 6,8,10. Hoping to find something during our spring break; March 20th. Any tips on searching for bargains? Cruiselines? Ports?

Hi MJG,
I'd say if you are looking for a cruise this spring break, better hurry and be prepared to pay the higher prices for cruising during this time. I'd suggest also to post in the "bargain finder" here at Cruisemates and see what you can come up with, best of luck.:

You may also find something in the cruise bazaar:

you might not be able to find anything at this late date. Spring Break cruises are very popular and they sell-out fast, no great deals unless you get in with a group. I would steer away from Carnival - they tend to get more of the college-drinking rowdy spring breaker crowd, at this time of the year. Look into Royal Caribbean and Princess
