This video is exactly what I was looking for! I live about an hour from a cruise port. I usually book my cruises a year or two in advance, but this helped me be more flexible in travel. Thank you so much! A new subscriber.

It may have been a dumb luck thing, but I got a cruise in 2022 for 50 dollars. I went online on Saturday, Found a cruise listed for 199 (for ONE person) that was sailing on Monday. Later in the day I decided to go for it. I booked it thru the cruise line instead of the VTG site and when I 'checked out' it had dropped to 50 dollars. 5 day cruise from Mobile alabama to Mexico. After port fees and paying for the extras my cruise was 300 dollars. FYI you have to consider the extras too if you are on a budget.

Thank you so much.This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanna start cruising.And I am not able to retire because I'm still paying off old medical bills and student loans. So this past May, when I turned 75 I called Vacations to Go two weeks before my birthday and said, I need a cruise in two weeks and they got me on the MSC for $610 for 7 days solo, even upgraded me from interior to balcony.. not sure if that was a really great deal (haven't cruised in 45 years) but it was a good deal for me. I took the train from Baltimore to Brooklyn and caught the cruise from there. I'll be traveling solo all the time, so it's gonna be really important for me to try to save money. So i'm hoping to be able to watch different ships movements and try to book a couple weeks before they leave and see if I can get a good deal even though I'm solo. Thank you for the tips!

Super helpful content! So much better than other cruise review YT pages, this one actually helps you plan your cruise.

We don’t get to vacation often. Very limited income retirees. But very young at heart. Went on Celebrity last year and loved it. Looking for some of your suggestions . About repositioning cruises and last minute. We live in Winnipeg and airfare to a port is very costly. So can you recommend a cruise line that is not crowded and is one of your favourites?

[djfernandovon]

This is definitely the best video I've ever watched giving tips to get these cruise deals. Well done! Please continue posting videos 😁🙏

[raduser]

Fantastic. Hopefully my wife and I will retire soon and (with these websites you provided) be able to enjoy last minute cruises on a limited budget. Thank you very much!

[crrizello]

Thank you very much for the great tips and websites to check out. Now if I could just find last minute deals on airfare to these ports!

Here’s another way to get a discounted cruise: Holland America standby program I had heard of this a while back the cost is $99 a day which includes port fees and taxes for a inside or ocean view cabin or $129 for a veranda. You need to be able to be at the port 2 to 7 days before the cruise. You pay upfront And if you do not get on the cruise, your money is refunded. Yesterday I “booked” for an 11 day Mexican Riviera cruise in 2025. Representative said they had available ability only for inside.

Do you ever travel Regent, Silver Seas or Seabourn?

[martinlarkin]

The credit card tip was great for a cruise payment but unfortunately, being CDN, we cannot get one. Very disappointing to Canadians.

[grizzlydipper]

Cruise watch is barely any cheaper at all considering their price does not include the fees that the cruise lines show you upfront

[suzettecalleja]

Can't an agent help you with getting a last minute cruise? As far as the VPN if your putting in a country that your not in, in order to get a cheaper rate isn't that lying.? It's dishonest.
