Last minute cruising from Tampa? I have heard of people getting great steals on cruises by going to the port and booking last minute. Is this fact or fiction? I am guessing that the cruise lines would want to fill any empty cabins, so, it makes sense. What would be the best time of year to attempt this?
Last minute Miami - Caribbean cruise booking for non-Americans?? My boyfriend and I are planning 2-week holiday to Miami in March - we'd like to book a short Caribbean cruise while we are there. Is it difficult for non- Americans to book a last minute cruise? (Is the security tighter etc? We'll have our passports of course, but would further checks or a waiting period be required also?)
early bird or last minute cruise specials? Hi All, I am looking towards doing a cruise around Christmas time 2008.

What are some good websites to find last minute vacations? I've found myself with 9 consecutive days off in January (a client cancelled a big job), and a little extra $$.

Cheap cruise to Mediterranean, longer than 7 days over summer. Any advice? I'm planning on traveling to the Mediterranean over summer but havent booked a cruise yet.

So if you have any cruise secrets and youre willing to share I would greatly appreciate it!! Also, your websites would be helpful too. Thanks, Brittni

Am I being too optimistic about cruising in April? We are waiting for our taxes to be done before booking last minute cruise and plan to cruise April 12. Most likely we won't have the payment for it till 3/15/07 (maybe 3/9/07) and are hoping to cruise from Port Canaveral but are willing to go to any other FL port. Are we being silly or will there still be availability "last minute" like this?
August cruise? Hi! My husband and I want to plan a last minute cruise to somewhere in the Carribean for our 1 year anniversary in early to mid August. My only concern is the weather. I have never been on a cruise before (my husband has) but I'm a little nervous b/c I get motion sickness and I'm concerned about hurricanes and rough seas. Has anyone gone on a cruise during this time and can you tell me a little about it? Also- any suggestion on what cruise line? We were thinking possibly Princess? Royal Carribean? We are both in our early 30's and we want a mix of everything. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Has anyone ever used a birth certificate and ID instead of a passport on a cruise? We booked a last minute cruise and I couldn't get a passport in time even if we expedited it. The travel agent said until January of 2008 I can travel in Mexico and Honduras (where the cruise is going) with my birth certificate and ID... but she said it would take longer. HAs anyone ever done this? Both the cruise line and the travel agent confirmed that this is legal but it takes longer, I was just wondering if anyone has done it and if it infact DOES take longer...
Inviting fiance's sort-of best friend???? My fiance and I have been together for 7 yrs. We have hung out with his bf from elementary school for years. Approx. 3 years ago he got a new girlfriend whom everyone hates. Since she started coming around he has lost almost all his friends. We have tried to be her friend but it proved impossible. When my fiance calls him to chat he refuses to answer if she is there. About 2 years ago they got married and asked my fiance to be the bestman, she decided to un-ask him b/c she felt having someone under 5'5'' would make her wedding pictures look funny. When they sent the invitation the sent it to my house (my fiance didn't live with me) but made a note inside that said I wasn't invited. We ended up not going anyway (took a last minute cruise to the carribean, haha) Anyway, now that we are getting married I really want to invite his ex-best friend but really, really, really do not want her there. How do I invite him and make it clear that she is not welcome?
Honey Moon Cruises??? My fiance and I are looking for a cruise for June I have never gone on a cruise before and I really don't know which ones are the best ones and I also dont want to get something very expensive, maybe something like 800 per person with balcony view for about 6-9 nights. I need a vacation! We both need it. Also it has to be leaving any ports of Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. Does anyone have any suggestions maybe? Which company is one of the best? I been searching all night online and couldn't really find something that interested me, I want it to have atleast more than 3 stops and have food included. If anyone can help me I would deeply appreciate it you know if we wait to book at the last minute the prices are sky scrappers. LOL.
where can i find last minute flight / cruise deals? i want to surprise my hubby with a cruise... i have heard that there is a way to find cruises for cheap cheap >> the cruise line sells the tickets that won't be sold otherwise.?? anyone know where to find this?
Hello, have a question regarding carnival cruises, did I pay too much? Okay, I had a last minute cruise decision with a friend of mine and I that we wanted to attend. We signed up for Carnival. We booked within 6 days before the cruise (we are leaving this Sunday, May 25). They said they were almost sold out and had 1 room left. So we decided to take it. So they charged us a total of 1800, total for 2 people (900 each of us) without medical insurance. So we got the small room with no window, but its on the upper deck area, not at the bottom area. All ammenties (food, drinks (non alcholic), activities are included) My question for a last minute deal, within 6 days of traveling this reservation, is this a fair deal? (including this last minute)
