For our extended family vacation this winter, everyone has decided that we need to take a cruise -- and with 17 of us on board, we need to find a great travel deal! That's why I turned to CruiseCompete.com and their listing of the cheapest cruises around. http://www.toptrips.com/travel-interests/travel-deals/cruise-for-cheap

As Bob (CEO CruiseCompete) put it, "Things that are posted out for everyone to see are not always the best price. We can often undercut the best-sounding bargains!"

I used this website called Cruise Compete. How it works is that you pick the cruise you want to go on and the dates and then travel agents will email you quotes! You pick the lowest one and book with them. You can also read reviews on the travel agents you get quotes from. It's pretty cool and very easy! So if you're into cruises, definitely bookmark this website for future bookings!
