Last minute cruise deals

Royal Carribean deal

Royal Caribbean has guaranteed loans for ‘Oasis of the Seas’, currently under construction. Oasis of the Seas will be one of the world largest cruise ships with a capacity of well over 5,000 passengers. The cruise ship is currently under construction in Finland. In an time when cruise ships have difficulties filling up their ships, and many great last minute deals are available, it might be no surprise that it took some effort for Royal Caribbean to arrange the financing. 3 European banks have guaranteed to commit to part of the more than one billion US$ needed. With in the end the Finnish government backing up the commitments to a large extend. With the all the additional cruise capacity coming online in the upcoming years, we believe great cruise deals might be around for a while.

Now is the time for a last minute cruise deal

Cruise lines are still struggling to fill their ships. Great last minute cruise deals are possible if you look around. Cruise lines need to fill up their ships as much as possible as they have high fixed costs and about half of their income is generated by travelers spending their money on the boat. This means in the current economic situation cruise lines will offer great last minute deals as they are competing for tourists and want to fill up their ships as much as possible.
Many people look for their last minute cruise deals on the internet on travel websites, but in our experience travel agents can offer some good last minute deals as well. They have the right contact and have current information on which cruise ships availability. We recommend using both to find your best last minute deal. In the earlier days a last minute could really be a last minute deal by going to the terminal on the day of departure and look for a deal. Due to stricter security measures many of those cruise lines (international itineraries), do no longer of this. So make sure you find something at least 24 hours before you want to leave.
Besides last minute you can get great deals via ‘early bird’ reservations, though we think right now last minute might be the way to go. Note that if you booked early and find better deals later on for the exact same package, that some cruise lines will compensate for the difference. Finally don’t forgot to explore all possible discounts that may apply to your situation. For instance military discount is offered by many cruise lines.
