I am currently looking at the various options to take my wife on a luxury cruise next year in 2010 and have spent the last few days spending quite a bit of time both online and offline looking at reviews of the different cruise lines, comparing prices, checking destinations, reading reviews of previous customers and clients and generally researching the cruise market as a whole. I must admit I have been a little disappointed in the lack of schedules, detail and itinery for some of the cheap cruises set to sail in early 2010. I know this is 12 months away but I imagine a lot of people at least start researching and often will book this much in advance and even further ahead in some cases.
