Do 𝚌𝚛𝚞𝚒𝚜𝚎𝚜 get 𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚙𝚎𝚛 the closer you get?

Generally, 𝚌𝚛𝚞𝚒𝚜𝚎 prices tend to increase as the sail date gets closer, not decrease. While some 𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚝-𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚝𝚎 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚜 may emerge if a 𝚌𝚛𝚞𝚒𝚜𝚎 is not selling well, the best prices are usually found when itineraries are first released, sometimes years in advance.
