Default LAST MINUTE CRUISE DEALS

hi: Is there such a thing as "last minute deals" for cruising. We live across the street to where the ships leave for Alaska? We are senior citizena and could leave with the drop of a hat.

Just wondering?

Thank you,

Bre

You would probably find out more about last minute cruises if you ask at
the terminal. But I did book a last minute cruise from a website I
found. Booked it on Thursday and it left on Saturday, 9 days later. I
had a wonderful time and it think I got a really good deal. Go to:

You can also go to www.vacationstogo.com for cruises 90 days away or shorter.

Too bad you don't live in San Juan.
When we sailed from there on a 7 day cruise there were storefronts advertising our cruise for almost 1/2 what we paid. Just pick up and go and get a 7 day cruise for $399.
The ship was full of people from San Juan because they could not sell it out early.
That was about 5 years ago. The situation has clearly changed now. The bargains are basically for no-show replacements nowadays.

That explains why there are so many people from San Juan on the ships that we have boarded there...Lucky them..they don't even have to pay air fare either!

OTOH, they have to live in PR. Lucky?
