dunrobbin Posted March 7 #1 Share Posted March 7 Hubby and I are going Fulltime in an Motorhome in a few months, when we retire. We are leaving from Canada and plan to see as much of North America as we can in the next few years. Love cruising, even with the issues abound with food and service. We hope to pickup last minute cruises as we travel around the coastline. (If we can afford it!!) Does anyone have a magic formula for finding these very last minute cruise gems? I do check out the 90 Day Ticker from Vacations to go. Has anyone dealt with Royal on the phone looking for last minute? Any advice you can share would be appreciated!

firefly333 Posted March 7 #2 Share Posted March 7 There is a thread called going going gone which has a link to last minute deals. Keep your expectations low. Most are short cruises and not that good of rates. Ships are sailing full. I have never heard calling works better than just pulling up the website. Those days are long gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted March 7 #3 Share Posted March 7 Those days are long gone. You’ll find an occasional deal but they are rarely if ever great deals anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Engineroom Snipe Posted March 7 #4 Share Posted March 7 Repeat and rinse the two previous answers. Since December of 2022, the prices normally are going up until the ship is full during the six months previous to embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted March 7 #5 Share Posted March 7 With rare exceptions, agree with the cliched "those days are long gone"... for now at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deals, if there any, are likely to be 30-60 days out and/or on repo sailings (like Transatlantic). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
