Pier hopping?
Does anyone know if pier hopping;shopping around the pier the day of departure to strike a deal is something that is still practiced? Anyone got any tips? I wasn't able to find much about this topic but thought that the rules about this might have changed due to post 9/11.

That being said, you could try calling the cruise line before the 48 hour cutoff to try and strike a deal. Also, this has not ended the practice of securing cut-rate upgrades at check-in.
