Caribbean cruise
A Caribbean cruise is the trip where the hotel moves. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and a few other Florida ports are the usual doors. The fare you see first rarely includes the extras you will actually pay.
Best months
December through April for calmer seas. Summer sailings are often the lower fares.
Typical ranges by party
Planning ranges, not a live fare and not a quote.
- 2 adults, 7 nights: $2,000–$4,000cruise fare plus flights to the port, before extras
- 2 adults + 2 kids, 7 nights: $3,200–$6,400kids’ fares and a larger cabin change the range
A closed-loop cruise still needs a passport in almost every practical case. Check the documents your sailing requires.
