Now it is impossible. The cruise lines must provide Homeland Security with a passenger list 72 hours in advance. So even if there were unsold cabins on the ship (which is not likely) the cruise line would not be able to sell one of the cabins to you. Also, a typical cruise leaves with over 100% capacity. Cruise ships reach 100% capacity when there are twice as many passengers as cabins. However, since some cabins hold more than two people, cruise ships can go over 100% capacity. The limiting factor is lifeboat capacity. A cruise ship cannot have more passengers than its lifeboats can hold. Since the typical cruise ship sails completely full, it is unlikely that there would be any cabins open to sell to someone who just shows up at the pier, even if the Homeland Security restrictions were not in place.

There is not booking agent outside, and they will not let you in the cruise terminal without a boarding pass. I do know people who have booked online the day before, and gotten a good deal, but not a stellar one. Additionally, all of the cruises that i have gone on have been fully booked when we departed. The cruise lines offer all of their deals before the sail date. I’ve never seen it. There is not booking agent outside, and they will not let you in the cruise terminal without a boarding pass.
