Thanks...I did and same day bookings are permissable, but we only have a double, so not doable for us this time. :(

Oh well, I'm still going on a cruise tomorrow!! :D

Agree- why would you stop here and ask us? Go for the gold- call and try.

I know, I know...my old brain was remembering incorrectly that Carnival is closed on Sunday. :o:rolleyes:

I did this last Jan.

It was FREEZING in Florida while we were there and I decided the night before that I would try to get on The Grander of the Seas the next day.

I was put on a waiting list but she said that if nothing came up- I could drive down to the Port Tampa] and see if there were any no shows.

I ended up getting a outside cabin for $229.00 and had a great week!!!

Good luck

Now, I prefer water, but those Colorado mountains are quite lovely! ;)

I have a new hero. You.

 

Since my wife and I live much of the year in Florida, I have a new goal in life...do a walk on week on a ship for $229 ;-) That's great.

 

Every time I've thought about doing this, I've called and been told that a minimum of 24-48 hours is needed for TSA regulations.

 

Dang. Good on you!

I KNOW!!!!

I didn't believe her that I could actually do this!! Since 9/11 I thought this wasn't possible- but I had heard the odd one say they did it?????? So confusing!

 

If you were in Florida last Jan. - then you know how desperate we were[ and we're from Nova Scotia] It was warmer back home many days than in the "Sunny South"!!! :eek:

Anyway- I packed [ which wasn't fun] knowing that I may be turned away at the Port- and we had to wait a couple of hours - then BAM , we were on!:D

 

Good luck- hope it works for you...
