I am sure these cruises are more expensive, but you do really get what you paid for.

To give you an idea of the cost of a Cruise vacation on the larger cruise ships in the Caribbean this coming winter, I am considering 3 Cruise ships.

The prices I have been given are for two (2) people include Air Fare down and back from Boston, cabin, transfers, pre night hotel stay, ticket fees, taxes etc.

Holland American Zuiderdam leaving Ft Lauderdale on Mar 6 -ten night cruise = $3,825 for 2

Celebrity Equinox- Ft Lauderdale- departure March 6th, 10 day cruise = $3,426 for 2

Celebrity Summit - San Juan PR departure Feb.28, 7 day cruise. =$2,435 for 2

The will be additional charges for shore excursions , drinks at the bar, and unless you are lucky, monetary losses at the casinos onboard. This is just a guide - there are many deals out there if you shop around and get lucky. I'll be doing that myself. -Tom
