They generally weren't within DAYS, but around a month or so when they booked, but my in-laws used to be on an email mailing list that featured last minute deals. That was a few years ago, but I suspect that would probably be the way to go these days still. Maybe if we ever stop working, we'll check it out sometime!! Let us know what you find out..

I have heard stories about people getting last minute deals in the past. Now that we live near Fort Lauderdale, I would like to try that too once we get settled. What is a good source?

Marketing BS, click bait
Days of old, yes. Not in today’s dynamic pricing environment. Cruise lines goal is to sell >100% of cabins way before departure. Slight chance in off-peak dates. But again off peak is well known time frame, and they market groups for that time. Ie post thanksgiving, pre Christmas, etc.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Thanks JPH. That is what I thought, but I have not done any research yet. Just got back from a 7- day cruise on the enormous Harmony of the Seas. They said it was full booked.
