Trying to book an all-inclusive cruise deal for later this year. Any tips on good deal websites and what was your experience? (Best cruise / where'd you go / how long / pricing)

Norwegian is my least favorite cruise line but they're currently offering unlimited alcohol on many of their Caribbean cruises so you can save a ton of money. I'd say somewhere between $299 and $399 is a good price for a 4 day. If you book for a sept sailing the weather is better and the prices are much cheaper but you may have to worry about hurricane season so you shouldn't get too attached the the ports you're going to.

Check out CruCon. They usually have good deals and will fight for an upgrade for you.

I'd avoid booking directly with the cruise line because you'll get better service (upgrades, credits, pre-paid tips, etc.) from a travel agent

Southern Caribbean is my spot. Anything with calls in Aruba, Bonaire and/or Curaçao. Cruise pricing is like the produce department though - prices tend to get better within 100 days of sailing. Costco usually has some of the best deals because they rebate commission in the form of onboard credits.

Look into the luxury lines like Seabourn. They seem expensive by the brochure prices but if you get with a good travel agent who can alert you of deals the prices are quite good. The mainstream lines all do unbundled pricing so if you look at the all in price then you will realize that it is a great deal.

This is exactly what I'm planning as well! Thanks OP for asking. I'm following this post now

Hey guys, thanks for all the info. Give have to sit down and figure this out. Anyone know what's considered 'good' like avg price per person for like a 4-day Bahamas cruise?

Great info. Appreciate it!

Seriously avoid Bahamas cruises. The ports suck (Nassau is a murder hotbed, the shopping is crap, they don't make rum there), the hassle factor is high and the drunk woo girls are abundant. Go with a seven day.
