We have been on many cruises and now being a Villager, it is very easy to drop everything and hop on a cruise ship with 4 cruise ports to pick from here in Florida. As a previous poster mentioned, the newer the ship, the higher the cabin prices. Also prices are adjusted based on when school is in session and major holidays. We have been on the newest ships along with some of the older ones. We went in April on a 4 day cruise on Royal Caribbean for $149 per person plus port charges and taxes on the spur of the moment. 8 days after booking, we were stepping on the cruise ship.
My advise is to check the cruise web sites often. Sometimes they offer super deals for a limited time only. I figure that they want to have a certain percentage of rooms booked at a certain period of time before the cruise departs and offer incentives if they did not hit that number.
