Princess cruises — Scottsdale, AZ
Last updated: September 24, 2026
Considering a Princess Cruise and wondering about the best time to book from Scottsdale? While you'll be flying to your departure port, timing your booking can still save you money. Look for deals during the late spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October) for potentially lower airfare and cruise prices. These 'shoulder seasons' often strike a good balance between pleasant weather and fewer crowds at popular destinations. A shorter cruise to Mexico or the Caribbean could be a great option for a quick escape. Think about what kind of climate and activities you're seeking for your Princess Cruise. Don't let guesswork dictate your vacation budget.
What affects the price
When you start looking at cruise prices, keep in mind that the total depends on a few moving parts. The cabin category is the biggest factor; choosing a suite or a balcony room will always cost more than an interior stateroom. Timing is just as important, as sailing during school holidays or peak vacation weeks usually increases the fare. Plus, you have to consider whether you want an all-inclusive package that covers drinks and Wi-Fi, or if you prefer to pay for those as you go. We can get you the exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
