Are there deals if you buy a cruise the day it sails

Question

If I go to the dock ready to go .....are there cuise deals..... ?

Answer 1

That does not happen anymore.  We recommend that you will get the best price and best choice of cabins by booking early as you can.

As far as agents to use. We also recommend that you talk to a "live" cruise travel agent and not use an "internet" agent who has no knowledge of the cruise industry.

www.myvacationcenter.com

is a good choice.

Answer 2

for everyone who doesn't know go to

vacationstogo.com

they have the best prices by compare bar none.

Answer 3

You cannot buy a cruise the same day that it sails. Like tinkertoy said, the cruiseline has to give a list to the officals the day of sailing.  As a result of 9-1-1, you can't just walk up to the port & buy tickets. I believe you can book it as early as 3-5 days in advance now.

If you do want great deals, go to

vacationstogo.com

and there are last minute ticker sales.  When cruise lines have open cabins, they sell them for very cheap to try & fill them all up.

That is your best bet to get a great deal on a cruise, you cannot just walk up to the port & buy tickets.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

NO, No, no!!!  ,  Cruise lines do not do that any more.  Since 9/11 there have been changes in cruise line procedures and they no longer offer sail day deals.  All cruise lines now require that you register your personal information on line or by regular mail at least 3 days before the cruise departs.  I addition, everyone must be checked in at least an hour to 90 minutes before the cruise because they must now provide a complete passenger manifest to Customs and Immigration officials an hour before the cruise departs.  So now days a last minute cruise is one that you book a week or two before the sail date.  But some cruise lines do have specials prices for unsold cabins a month to  2 weeks before the cruise.  However, you will not be able to go to the port to get these, they are on line and you can have a travel agent find them for you.
