Responding to the trend of last minute summer vacation bookings, small ship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations http:\/\/www.adventuresmithexplorations.com\/<\/a> just announced that there is still good availability on many of the company\u2019s summer cruises in Alaska. In past years, by mid-May remaining space is usually at a premium. With a slow economy however, consumers benefit with an increase in availability, cruise options and even booking incentives.<\/p>\n
