How close to a sailing date can you get before the cruise line can't take your booking? What's the best way to find last minute deals?

It's about 72 to 48 hours ahead of the cruise. Be prepared to get the a very poor cabin location or a very expensive one .

You can call Carnival morning of sailing.

There are some great deals out there ..

Then what is the cost of getting to the port last minute? Air fares will be high. No ports near Kentucky...

You could drive to Charleston, SC for Carnival's Fantasy, mostly 5 days but also 7 days about once a month.

Just this past February there a great deal on the Gem. 9 days in the Caribbean for a very low price. Booked the cruise for myself and DH on Friday and sailed the next day. Couldn't chose a cabin due to late booking. But got a cabin on deck 11. Great location not far from the elevators and one flight of stair to the buffet. Nice quiet cabin. We live in New York so it was only a 45 minutes drive to the port. I had a previous engagement so didn't even go home that Friday so had to do our packing the morning of the sailing. Were having lunch in the buffet by 2pm. Great cruise.
