Last Minute Caribbean Deals

Nothing quite compares to the feeling you get when you are about to go on vacation. The stress of everyday life and work commitments melt away (or they should) and all you can think about is the fun ahead.

I love to go on a cruise. I try to go at least twice a year. In between cruise vacations I try to get that cruise vacation feeling as often as possible. I am lucky to live near a major cruise port and can go watch the cruise ships leave port. There are several outdoor restaurants at the cruise terminal near me where people gather to see the cruise ships leave. The picture above was taken at a recent trip to the cruise terminal while watching the Carnival Legend leave port. The weather wasn’t cooperating but it didn’t damper the mood any. Spending an afternoon at an outdoor restaurant enjoying a few drinks and watching everyone board the ship makes for a great afternoon. The ships usually leave around 4PM so it’s pretty easy to schedule around when ships will be in port.

T he hard part is fighting the temptation to book a last minute ticket and jumping onboard. The best part is doing this a couple weeks before going on a cruise. I can’t think of a better way to get ready for a cruise.
