Best website to book a Cruise? Newbie!

[Blondestripedlassie]

We've never been on a Cruise. Some of the websites are a bit clunky. If you are experienced, do you have a "go to" website that you would use to book a cruise? Any other tips? Thanks!

Bolsover or Hayes Travel are good agents to book through. Others swear by Iglu. I only ever go direct to the cruise company itself (as final instalments etc can be paid quite late).

I like Vivavoyage. It's easy to filter by destination, date, cruise line etc, and prices are at least the same, and usually lower, than other agents we've looked at. We've also always found their customer service to be very good - they are US based company.

Iglu is my go too but as a newbie maybe look at speaking to a cruise consultant that can advise on the different types.
