We live within one-day driving distance of both Galveston (5 hrs) and PC (10 hrs), so we don’t need much advance planning to pick up a last-minute cruise, throw some clothes in a suitcase and drive for a day. My question is, if DCL is trying to fill up a ship at the last minute, how much can one expect to see fares drop at the last minute?
I know that’s hard to quantify since fares are constantly changing, but let’s say that today, 12/27/15, a Cat 6 with two adults for the 2/6/16 W. Carib Fantasy cruise is going for $4000.
If they can’t fill that Category, and it’s still open a week before the cruise, historically how much lower could I expect to see that fare drop at the last minute to fill the cabin?
