This would be a good short cruise if you wanted to go that route:

Super cheap for RC (a step above Carnival klassiness
) and all of them leave on Fridays out of Port Canaveral.
If you didn't mind driving a little further to leave, these are reDONKulous prices:

Also this is the first AI Madisen introduced me to and they still seem to have great prices. Four night stay from 5/6/11 to 5/9/11 at Akmul for under $1200. That would be totally worth it for me not to have to worry about extra expenses, planning excursions, etc. But I'm lazy.
