Is this the slowest travel-deal season of the year? This week's drop list is lean: mostly Expedia offers with no cruise or theme-park moves to speak of. We'll walk you through what's live and what to watch for instead.
All-inclusive & resort deals this week
Expedia is running its usual rotation of member discounts and app-exclusive offers. Nothing earth-shattering, but if you've been sitting on a resort booking, a few of these might nudge the math in your favor:
- Up to 40% off select properties via The Travel Edit, The Annual, and general member promotions
- 20% discount when you book through the Expedia app
- $20 in OneKeyCash™ when you book a flight (expires within 30 days; terms apply)
Cruise deals worth a look
Cruise lines don't typically launch new fares in mid-May. These carriers cluster their shoulder-season offers in mid-January and post-Labor Day instead, so this quiet stretch is normal. May is a better time to lock in a summer sailing if you're flexible on destination.
Travel gear on sale
No gear deals this week. Amazon's Travel category and Traverseon (when they run promotions) are the usual landing spots for family packing essentials.

Disney Parks Packed, but Disneyland and Universal Are Eerily Quiet
