A friend who not ever booked last minute cruises and never failed to get one.

She would leave it till the day before and always argued the price down. but she didn’t mind which cruise line and where she went or what cabin. Obviously you get the ones nobody else wants😬

It took quite a lot of effort. Personally I couldn’t be bothered but it gave her pleasure.

I’m pretty sure he’ll get something.

He’s going to be 40, so why are you worried?
His decision, and it’s he who will live with the consequences ( which will hardly be tragic!)
Relax.

You don’t know my son, and I don’t owe you an explanation as to why I’m worried.. Suffice it to say I am..

My sister and BiL have been on a few ‘last minute’ cruises - they have managed to get very good deals that way, but they’re not fussy about e.g. what type of cabin.

We have had a few cruises - thoroughly enjoyed them .
I am sure your almost 40 year old son and his friends will sort this out for themselves and have a lovely holiday.

My son’s 40th is in September and him and a couple of friends want to go on a Mediterranean cruise only for four or five days, he seems to think that he’ll get a good deal if he waits for a last minute cruise but I am worried that he won’t get one and think he would be better to book one now
Personally, you could not pay me to go on a cruise, but if you could give me some advice about this, I would be grateful
Thanks in anticipation..😎😎😎
