Last-Minute Costco Cruises
Last-minute Costco cruises, as you can probably guess, are cruises offered by Costco that can be purchased at the last minute, often at a discounted rate. You can book last-minute cruises with essentially any cruise line or travel company – all you have to do is, well, book at the last-minute – but Costco specifically advertises their last-minute offerings and dedicates a section of their website to them. They are therefore something of a focus for Costco. All Costco’s last-minute cruises are also classified as “featured deals,” which means that the trips will be discounted in one way or another – you’ll get a special rate for being a Costco member or you’ll get shipboard credit. Below we assess Costco’s last-minute cruises, providing you with a guide to the various offerings as you contemplate your next vacation. Read more […] -
How to Book a Last-Minute Cruise

Those Who Can Take A Last-Minute Cruise
Last-minute cruises are of great interest to many people. The last-minute deals available are often impressive, allowing people to take a cruise who might not otherwise be able to afford one. But given that last-minute cruises are only offered at (naturally) the last minute, you might wonder how anyone is able to take one. Cruises are a fairly elaborate undertaking and in general require some advanced planning. Who, then, is able to take a last-minute cruise? Are last-minute cruises available to only a select few?

Cruises Only (CruisesOnly.com)
Cruises Only is a website (cruisesonly.com) that aggregates different cruise deals, much like sites such as Travelocity aggregate different deals from airlines, hotels, and so on. Although the name implies otherwise, Cruises Only is actually not about cruises only, as you can find offerings that are not related to cruise vacations through the site; for example, you can book car rentals through the site. However, the Cruises Only focuses overwhelming on cruises, listing cruise deals, discount cruises, last-minute cruise specials, and similar such things. Read more […] -
