6 Best Ways to Score a "Last Minute" Cruise Deal *right now*

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses various opportunities to find last minute cruise deals, specifically focusing on sailings scheduled between one and four months in the future. She notes that while cruise lines face various challenges, these circumstances have created value for travelers compared to land based vacations. The video highlights Alaska as a top destination for summer and early fall, suggesting travelers look for northbound or southbound itineraries and utilize cruise line air promotions to offset flight costs. River cruises are also mentioned as an option with unexpected availability for the current season. For those interested in Bermuda, the creator notes that while prices are lower than the previous year, travelers must account for specific government travel certificates and testing requirements. Short cruises from premium lines are identified as undervalued options that offer more included amenities than value brands. Finally, the creator addresses Mediterranean and European cruises, noting that while these are bucket list trips, some travelers are hesitant due to international travel requirements and return testing protocols. She concludes by suggesting Caribbean cruises as a way to stay closer to home while still finding significant value.

Creator's Key Takeaways
cruises are still such a good value and if anything i would say that they're really even underpriced when you compare them to hotel and land vacations
if you looked at alaska a few months ago and you saw that the prices were very high take a look again and see if there aren't some great last minute deals
short cruises from premium cruise lines have definitely been underpriced and i think even undervalued
