I booked the Ryndam two years ago with 4 days to go got on for $499 for a great outside cabin. I was seated at a table of 10 and all of us booked the last 3 or 4 days and got great deals. One inside went forr $399. Those prices includes all taxes and port fees too. To get this you need to live in a port city and travel during a times when ships have open cabins. Last spring I tried to book a last minute 14 day Statendam cruise and was called one day before it sailed. They refused to budge a dime off of the catalogue price, so I declined. I was not looking for much of a discount, but I thought something was due. The cabin was just a so so cabin with a porthole.
