Question

I heard that if you go to the port the day a cruise is supposed to leave, you can get good deals?

Answer 1

Like they said it's not possible. Plus most cruises are sold out anyway so there are no cabins.

Answer 2

You can't even get in the building. Last minute deals in cruising are offered a month in advance of sailing.

Answer 3

Wake up buddy, have you been hitting the pipe? Have you burned all your brain cells? Where do people come up with these questions. If I were you I would just stop hitting the pipe and get a life. Please don't be at the Pier begging when I arrive for my next cruise.

Answer 4

Forget it man. It either a thing of the past or a suburban myth. Some one asked a simular question woundering if it was possible to get a free cabin on the sail day if he or she showed up at the pier.

New rules requiere cruise liners to hand in complete passengers list at least 24 hour prior to departure. So showing up wouldnt get you any ticket. Johan

Answer 5

Not possible since 9/11.  Nowadays the cruise lines need to submit their passenger lists to Homeland Security in advance.  

Two months in advance is "last minute" by cruise line thinking, and a week ahead is about the latest you can book.
