You know... where you show up at the port, last minute, without reservation, and ask for the discounted rate for whatever cabins are available. I have heard that it is rediculously cheap, but extremely chancy as far as getting on the cruise is concerned. You would only get on if there were vacancies and your fees would likely only be the taxes.
