About Daniel

Daniel Okafor tracks cruise fares for a living. He maintains the price series behind every cost page on this site, sampling lead-in fares across the fifteen lines we cover on a fixed weekly schedule so the numbers we publish are comparable month to month rather than screenshotted once and forgotten.

He spent eight years in airline revenue management before moving to cruise, which shaped how he reads the market: cruise pricing is an inventory problem, and most of the advice about when to book is repeated folklore that collapses the moment you look at an actual fare curve.

He writes the deals, costs and budgeting sections, and is the reason those pages give you a break-even number instead of telling you a drink package is a good idea.
