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.
I really like the idea of taking off at a few days' notice. I had no idea such inexpensive trips were available. Now if I could find a dog sitter. . .
