Thanks for the input everybody. I am new at this.

I am hoping to catch a 4 or 5 day cruise out of Charleston SC this Feb or March to the Bahamas on the Carnival line. Trouble is I'll be travelling alone and so the price doubles. I have been trying to find a downtown Chrleston travel agent thinking they might have the inside track on last minute cabins to save me a buck. They must be busy -nobody will talk to me. I called Carnival direct and they said to call them back a couple days before each sailing. Is that my best option?

Thanks everybody for your input.

Great. I only want to sail out of Charleston SC and I know that limits my chances as I've been told only Carnival sails out of that port. I will consider the above approaches. I like taking chances. Is it possible to go to the office there the day of the sail, hang around all day and see if something shows up?

If the cruise ship is ready to leave the dock and there are still some empty state rooms, is there ever any last minute steal of a deal made? Or is there at least a reputable website with last minute deals listed.
