Cabo San Lucas
![last minute cruises mexico](https://ttlm.s3.amazonaws.com/MX/8528_pic1.jpg)
Cabo San Lucas, where the sea, sun and desert join to cast an air of mystery and romance over all who visit. Cabo was once a tranquil fishing village and, in times long ago, a hangout for pirates. Although no longer the fishing village of old, and not many of the old pirates are seen around town any more, the magic of Cabo remains. Cabo is still small and charming by any standards, with a population of under 30,000. We do have 4 stop lights now. And with the number of activities available to the visitor, you could easily imagine you are in a giant amusement park. Cabo has come of age. Located at the southernmost tip of the magnificent Baja peninsula, Cabo has been blessed with what many describe as the perfect climate. Average year-round temperature is 78 degrees, it is a little cooler in the winter and a bit warmer in the summer. For years Cabo was the remote playground reserved solely for private yacht owners. They flocked here to be near "Marlin Alley", as the waters around Cabo have often been described. The name is well deserved, as Cabo San Lucas is the undisputed billfish capital of the world. But Cabo is far from remote these days, and the attraction of this magical spot is no longer limited to marlin fishing. Cabo can be, many different things to people. Cabo San Lucas has become known as a perfect vacation spot for the entire family. Cabo can be as quiet, romantic and relaxing as any secret hideaway. It can also be as lively as anyone can possibly imagine. If your wish is to enjoy a quiet candlelight dinner, "muy romantico", beside the shimmering sea for just the two of you, we have some of the most romantic dining spots on the face of the earth. If golf, water sports, boating, fishing, ATV's, horseback riding and numerous other activities are what you seek, they're all here, waiting for you. If "party till you drop" is the mood of the evening, Cabo has got it for you, big time!

Hey, there's more to this town than it just being the finish line for the annual Newport-Ensenada Race! The City of Ensenada has completed a total renovation of Primera, the main street downtown. Enjoy a stroll down the cobblestone sidewalk complete with outdoor cafes, interesting shops, strolling musicians and street vendors. The malecon (harbor boardwalk) renovation was completed last year and provides a beautifully landscaped walk along the harbor front to the Ventana Del Mar Plaza with its huge Mexican flag. From there, you can look across the rio at the new small craft harbor nestled in the middle of the new cruise ship docks. It will be interesting to watch the progress on this new endeavor. The story is that in order to expand the cargo port on the north side of the harbor, the developers had to relocate the passenger ships' dock and provide some type of recreational asset for the city. It looks to be a good solution. Ensenada is also a swell place to take possession of your new boat (more on that later), get a new bottom job for your old boat or set as your destination for an extended coastal cruise, a fun weekend road trip or the start of some long distance cruising! The people of Ensenada are trying hard to improve their city, both for turistas, a big part of their income and for themselves and their families. We have seen improvements which are good, and yet some loss of the "Mexico-ness" in some of the tourist areas. We have met a lot of the residents and business people and want to thank them for their hospitality. As visitors, it is our obligation to live up to the Bienvenidos and the Mi Casa es Su Casa that have been extended to us.

The Pros and Cons of Last-Minute Cruise Deals: An Essential Guide
Booking a last-minute cruise can be an exciting way to embark on an impromptu adventure while saving money. However, this approach also comes with its own set of challenges. In this article, we’ll delve into the advantages and potential drawbacks of booking a cruise on short notice, helping you make an informed decision for your next vacation.
Key Takeaways
- Significant Savings: Last-minute cruise deals can offer substantial discounts, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers.
- Limited Choices: Booking late may limit your options in terms of cabin selection, destinations, and amenities.
- Flexibility Required: Spontaneous travelers who can adapt to sudden changes in plans will benefit the most from last-minute deals.
Introduction
Last-minute cruise deals are a fantastic way to enjoy a spontaneous vacation at a fraction of the regular price. These deals typically emerge when cruise lines have unsold cabins close to the departure date, offering significant discounts to fill the ship. However, while the allure of a discounted cruise is strong, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons before making a last-minute booking.
Pros of Booking a Last-Minute Cruise
Significant savings.
One of the most compelling reasons to book a last-minute cruise is the potential for significant savings. Cruise lines prefer to sail with a full ship, even if it means selling cabins at a reduced rate. This can translate into substantial discounts for travelers who are flexible with their plans.
For more insights on how last-minute bookings can save you money, check out the Pros and Cons of Last-Minute Cruise Bookings .
Spontaneity and Adventure
For those who thrive on spontaneity, last-minute cruises offer the thrill of an impromptu adventure. With little time to plan, travelers can experience the excitement of setting sail on a new journey without the lengthy anticipation that comes with booking far in advance.
Potential for Upgrades
When booking last-minute, there’s a possibility of receiving complimentary upgrades. Cruise lines may offer better cabins or additional amenities at no extra cost to fill unsold premium spaces. This can enhance the overall cruise experience without breaking the bank.
Access to Special Deals and Perks
In addition to lower prices, last-minute bookings can come with added perks such as onboard credits, free excursions, or drink packages. These extras can significantly enhance the value of your cruise.

Cons of Booking a Last-Minute Cruise
Limited cabin selection.
One of the main drawbacks of last-minute bookings is the limited choice of cabins. The most desirable cabins, such as those with balconies or suites, are often booked well in advance. As a result, last-minute travelers may have to settle for less preferred options, such as interior cabins.
Fewer Destination Choices
Similarly, the selection of available itineraries may be limited when booking last-minute. Popular destinations and prime travel dates are often booked early, leaving fewer options for those who wait until the last minute.
Reduced Preparation Time
Booking a cruise on short notice means less time to prepare. This can be particularly challenging for international cruises, which may require visas, vaccinations, or other travel documents. Additionally, last-minute travelers may have less time to research and plan activities or excursions at their destinations.
Higher Travel Costs
While the cruise itself may be discounted, other travel expenses such as flights, hotels, and transportation to the port may be higher when booked last-minute. This can offset some of the savings gained from the discounted cruise fare.
Potential for Stress
The spontaneity of last-minute travel can also lead to stress, especially for those who prefer to have everything planned out in advance. The rush to secure a booking, arrange travel logistics, and pack can be overwhelming for some travelers.
Tips for Booking a Last-Minute Cruise
Be flexible.
Flexibility is key when booking a last-minute cruise. Being open to different destinations, travel dates, and cabin types will increase your chances of finding a great deal.
Monitor Cruise Line Websites
Regularly check cruise line websites and travel deal sites for last-minute offers. Many cruise lines have dedicated sections for last-minute deals, making it easier to find discounted fares.
For strategies and considerations when navigating last-minute cruise deals, read Navigating Last-Minute Cruise Deals: Strategies and Considerations .
Join Mailing Lists and Alerts
Sign up for email alerts and newsletters from cruise lines and travel agencies. These notifications can keep you informed about the latest last-minute deals and promotions.
Use Cruisesheet
Cruisesheet.com can be valuable resources for finding last-minute cruise deals. They often have access to exclusive offers and can help navigate the complexities of last-minute bookings.
With limited time to prepare, packing efficiently is crucial. Make a checklist of essentials and pack versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched. Don’t forget important documents such as passports, visas, and travel insurance.

What types of cruises are available for last-minute deals?
Last-minute deals are available for various cruise types, including short getaways, family cruises, and luxury experiences. The selection may vary based on availability and demand.

How do last-minute deals compare to early booking discounts?
Last-minute deals often offer significant savings, but early booking discounts can provide more choices and additional perks. Comparing the benefits and drawbacks of both options can help travelers decide which approach is best for them.
What are the best times of year to find last-minute cruise deals?
