LAST MINUTE


Most holidays are planned well in advance with months of preparation. However, every once in awhile, you may decide that you want to take a last minute trip. One good last-minute holiday to take is a cruise. Read on to learn more.
EseaCruising.com’s recommendation on how to score a great value last minute cruise deal!

1. Speak to one of our Cruise Specialsit. If you wish to take a last minute cruise, doing so with EseaCruising.com is a good idea we specialist in cruises and only sell cruises therefore we can find you a good price on a cruise package and let you know all of the sailings that are coming up.

2. Check flights! EseaCruising.com offers customers the chance to hold a cruise with NO OBLIGATION for up to 5 days, be sure to take advantage of this policy as last minute cruise deals are so attractive, cabin availability is usually extremely limited. Once you have booked your last minute cruise, check on flight availability. If you struggle to find the right flights, visit our sister website www.EseaShores.com for a range of pre/post cruise arrangements such as Flights, Hotels, Transfers and Day Tours.

3. Reserve your shore excursions as well. When you book your cruise last minute, reserve your shore excursions at that time to make sure that there is still available space.

4. Read all our HOT DEAL ALERTS – from time to time we send our HOT DEAL ALERTS be sure you read about them as soon as you receive them to avoid disappointment.

5. Learn about peak cruise seasons. Avoid booking your last minute cruise during the high season. Most cruise lines advertise their highest prices during peak cruise season, which is usually the summer months. By booking early, you could save a considerable amount of money on your trip with various cruise lines offering Early Bird Sales.
When Last Minute Cruising is not a good idea:

Last minute bookings for cruises are available for most cruise lines through EseaCruising.com If you are very particular about the type of sailing you are willing to pay for, then waiting until the last minute may not be a good option for you. Popular annual sailings such as the Cherry Blossom Cruise, Melbourne Cup Cruise, Christmas and New Years cruise is often sold out well in advance.
There may be limited cabin options available at the last minute. You may also have limited options in terms of onboard reservations. In some situations, you may simply be unable to book your cruise because you need to wait for a valid passport. Take into consideration whether waiting until the last minute is right for your situation.

Travelling with Children – due to safety regulations child spaces are limited onboard a cruise, so if you are travelling with children it is best to book well in advance to secure the child spaces onboard the cruise.
Holidaying with P&O Cruises is even more exciting with fantastic last minute cruises. If you’re flexible with time and departure ports then a last minute cruise may just be the right choice for your next holiday!
