People often ask if last-minute cruise bargains are legit. Well, good news: they are, but no agency has exclusive access to them.
On one of Royal Caribbean’s most popular ships, Freedom of the Seas, we see inside cabins at $499.
On Oct. 3 you can catch a luxurious, 317 square-feet, deluxe suite for just $1,099 per person, cheaper than the usual balcony price.
This is a good example of how cruise pricing works. Cruise Lines keep prices steady, then lower them when the sail date gets closer. When the ship is nearly full, prices increase.
For example, the Sept. 19 sailing of Freedom has but one category available, the same deluxe suite mentioned above, but the price is $2,249; more than twice the price of two weeks later.
