How To Save On Last Minute Booking Deals

Have you ever had a long weekend where you wished you were anywhere but home? Take advantage of cruise lines' last minute booking deals to save money, get a great vacation, and not pay more than $500 usually.

Most cruise lines offer a email subscription where they will send you last minute deals they are offering. Enter your Departure Port and it will email you monthly deals that they're offering. The deals are usually rooms that haven't been able to fill and are offered at a fraction of the cost you would normally pay.

The only catch?

You usually only have a few days to decide if you want to go or not. This isn't the reservation that you book months in advance, this deal could be leaving at 5 pm tomorrow. But, if you're willing to go out on a limb, it can really pay off in the long run.

In this month's email from Carnival Cruise Lines, deals started at $120 for a 3 night cruise and run up to $500 for a 6 night cruise. Destinations vary and room availability are limited so if you're willing, jump on the offer as quick as you can.

Maybe even have a small bag packed, ready to go on an impromptu cruise!
