There *might* be fare relief on dates not immediately preceding cruise departure dates. I don't know the market that well. Nor do I know if the traditional American Spring Break season matters at all to the cruise market...
So true. In our school district, our spring break is always the first full week of April, and not tied to Easter. 2018 is one of those years when Easter is at the beginning of April, which we have learned means sky high flights and crowded resorts, so checking flights before I commit to a destination is part of the process.
