Last minute cruise deals? (Miami, Tampa: 2010, living, discount)

[30somethingDINKs]

Anyone know if the cruise ships that leave from Tampa offer last minute deals when then have ships that they couldn't fill? Where is a good place to find them?

Living near the port gives great flexibility to pick up and go last minute if the opportunity should present itself.

You can no longer do that because they need at least 48 hours to run your info through the Homeland Security databases.

I imagine you can get some good deals though as most folks plan a cruise weeks/months in advance.

Call a couple of travel agents or AAA cruises to find out what they suggest.
Here is a website that might give you info on last minute deals.. Disclaimer... I know nothing about the site but thought it might give you an idea

Discount Cruises, Last Minute Cruises, Cruise, Cruise Line, Cruise Vacation

No, but I do have a cruse discount code for March 15, 2009 sailing on the Carnival Legend if you wanted it in case you're free that week LOL

Travelocity.com often has discounts for a couple weeks ahead.

I would like "last minute" discounts too
