i am wanting a carnival cruise lines but i dont see anywhere on there site that will let me book a flight and the cruise together (at a discount)
The best way to get the best deal on both is to book them both yourself but separately. Book the cruise that you want and then look for low priced airfare. However, you’ll need to book a long time in advance for both if you want a low price as the airlines have a limited number of cheap seats on each flight and they generally sell out quickly. You cannot wait until a week or two before your cruise and book a cheap air fare. You’ll need to book the air 30 to 60 days, at least, in advance.
In addition, the prices normally charged by the cruise lines for including air fare are almost always much higher and the flight selections that they will give you will not be the best. The only benefit of booking air with the cruise line is that if your flight is delayed they will hold the ship until you arrive (a few hours at least).
SO, to get the best prices book your cruise 6 months to a year in advance, and then book your airfare yourself.

They give out special deals as well as discounts. (Crusie credit, etc.) We booked a couple cruises from there.

Carnival is no longer going to offer AIR.
Any travel agent can help book Air & Cruise.
Good luck!

You can check out http://www.canaryislandsholidaysonline.com/Canary%20Islands%20Cruises/ where they have other options as well in the tool over there… Maybe you should select also a few other lines and see if another company has a combined package… On this site I found my flight and the cruise together… hope you can find something similar there…
