pamwinn Posted July 4, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2004 We want to go on a last minute cruise departing from the east coast that must be back home by 7/25. We do not want to go on an old ship full of kids and we want a balcony. Destination is irrelevant. Any ideas? We can leave as soon as we can drive there from ATL. This may be sacreligious, but we don't care what the cruise line is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJS Posted July 4, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2004 You might look at Radisson out of Norfolk VA or New York. Can't guarantee about the kids or the ship's age but their cruises generally have less kids on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAJOKG Posted July 4, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Pamwinn -- We did just that in January. We went to our AAA TA, told her what we were looking for, how much to spend, etc., etc., etc. She found us a Verandah Suite on HAL's Volendam, 10 nights, for an incredible fare. We booked on a Friday and left the following Thursday. It can be done, but it is done best by a TA....they know the places to look. Good Luck!

imsulin Posted July 4, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2004 pamwinn - you want to go on a last-minute cruise in the middle of the peak cruising season - on a new ship - without kids (right!) - waant a balcony cabin - and don't care about the itinerary, as long as you can drive to the embarkation port from Atlanta? Good lucki and please let me know what you get, as I'm only 1 1/2 hours from Atlanta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbidoo Posted July 4, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 4, 2004 We've registered with Holland America to get their last minute cruise specials and have seen some great deals. You can register on their web site or probably could call them to find out what's available. Good luck. Pam in Oklahoma City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
