vacation help!

My H and I have started to look into a vacation for Feb or March of next year. We are looking into a cruise but very open to other fun places! Can anyone recommend a good vacation spot? We don't want to spend too much and all-inclusive would be ideal. TIA!

Re: vacation help!

  • DH and I LOVE cruising!  Royal Caribbean is our favorite cruiseline but we did Norwegian in Europe last year because it was much cheaper.  It was decent but not as good as Royal IMHO.  The food, service, and activities just weren't the same but I think you get what you pay for. 

    When we were in college, we'd cruise in March and it'd be fairly cheap.  Western Caribbean is cheaper than Eastern.  I think the touristy activities are better on Western itineraries but the water and beaches seemed nicer to me on Eastern itineraries.  I'd love to do a Southern itinerary one day but am afraid to go out of Puerto Rico...

    Royal runs promos every Tuesday - sometimes you can see them the week before and then you can plan to buy on Tuesday during the sale (see LINK).  The fares also seem to be lower when you're about 90 days out.  I like www.vacationstogo.com for researching this but have not booked from them (a friend has and reco'd them to me).

    Favorite Caribbean Ports: Grand Cayman, St. Maarten, and Ochos Rios
    Favorite European Ports: Rome and Naples (Pompeii and Amalfi Coast)
    Favorite Private Island: Labadee

  • Try:  www.cheapcaribbean.com.  DH and I had a WONDERFUL trip to Sunscape in La Romana.  It was all inclusive, air fare, trip insurance, transportation to/from hotel, etc...  And we really couldn't beat the price.  We booked a "5 sun" resort and we loved it.  I know the site sounds cheesy, but we were really happy with everything.  We even wound up using the trip insurance for a car rental on our return trip and they were great through that too.

  • DH and I are going on a cheap 4 day Carnival cruise in January.  It won't be the nicest cruise but it's better than being snowed in during winter in Ohio!

  • EMILY - give Brad's mom a try!  She's great at finding cruise deals!  And - if you can wait til last minute, you can usually find really great deals for cruises.
