Discount tickets

[Papaw14]

We are going to be in Florida in December and I am wondering if it is possible to purchase last minute cruise tickets. We will have our passports and ID with us. If this is possible, where do you go to find out if they are available. We have never been on a cruise and might want to try it.

You can no longer just walk in and get on ship. Homeland security must have the passenger list at least a day before the ship sales but think its really two days.

Check out prices on line. We have had two cruises we booked when we saw the prices on Tuesday, ships left that weekend. We paid $299, 7 days, one inside, one balcony (!) cabins on deck 9. Our 10 day Princess we paid $499 but booked that about 6 weeks ahead of sail date. You can also just call the cruise line and ask what prices are. Good Luck!

Thank you very much. We are waiting on our friends to get their passports. I know they can sail without them on our selected cruise, but, their birth certificates are with their passport applications. Ain't it always something!!!

Cruise lines have to submit their passenger manifests 72 hours before departure, so there's no more just walking to the terminal and getting on a cruise ship.
