Caribbean holiday deals - when is the best (£) time to book?

[Phooey]

Just back from holiday and already got the holiday blues . When is the best time (cheapest ££) to book a holiday for July / August 2018? I think we booked around September 2016 for July 2017 but just had a look at prices for 2018 and they seem quite a bit more expensive. There must be a "prime time" to grab a deal?

Where are you looking at?

Preferably Barbados again, but would look at Maldives, Antigua etc. I was just interested if there was a specific time when prices were lowest. I think the travel agent said something about Virgin seat sale when we booked last year for this year.. although this could of been a sales pitch they use to get you to book it!
