Planning
Time
Seldom
does cruise trip planning occur
spur-of-the moment (under a month)
and it is also unlikely to take
more than a year. Similar to the
2002 survey, the median amount of
time is four to six months.
This
average planning time is consistent
across cruise types, although Destination
and
Luxury cruisers
are more likely to spend a little
less time planning the trip. Greater
familiarity and experience with
cruising may influence
them to be more relaxed about planning
a trip.
