What to Know About Last-Minute Cruises

Can I find last minute cruise deals from Florida?

Absolutely! Last minute cruise deals from Florida are quite common, especially with numerous ports like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Port Canaveral offering a variety of itineraries.

Can I find luxury cruises at the last minute?

Yes, luxury cruises, such as those offered by Regent Seven Seas, Viking, and Oceania,  are also available last minute, offering the same benefits of reduced prices and spontaneous travel, though availability might be more limited compared to mainstream cruises.

Are there any additional fees for booking a cruise last minute?

While the cruise fare might be lower, additional fees can include airfare, expedited passport services, and onboard expenses. Always review the total cost before booking.

Can I book a cruise 2 days before it leaves?

Yes, you can book a cruise last minute, even as close as 2 days before departure. If, for any reason you’re unable to book a last minute cruise, our specialists can help you find the best available options on short notice.

How many days before a cruise can I cancel?

Cancellation policies vary by cruise line, but typically, the closer you are to the departure date, the more cancellation fees tend to increase. For those booking last minute cruise deals, be sure to check the specific cancellation policies.

Is it better to book a cruise sooner or later?

Booking a cruise sooner can ensure you get your preferred cabin and itinerary. However, for those seeking last-minute cruise deals, waiting until closer to the departure date can sometimes yield significant savings. It depends on your flexibility and travel preferences.
