We will be leaving the Keys in March and I was thinking since we have time, would it be possible to drive to Miami and check on last minute cruises for a really good price? Do people do this? Where would I go? Thanks!

PS Or could go the other way to Tampa.

Or....could go to Ft Lauderdale

I wouldn't just drive to Miami hoping to get on a ship. Ships must submit their manifest to government officials a few days before the ship sails and this prevents booking a cruise the day it sails.

If you want to take a cruise, I would talk to a TA about last minute bargains. There are often great prices for booking 15-30 days out.

Thanks Theresa.

I agree with Theresa and would not just show up at the pier. Check websites like vacationstogo.com (click on "90 day ticker&quot for last minute bargains.

Since 911, you can't just show up and try to get on a ship.

There are many great deals available for bookings for cruises under 60 - 30 days.
