5 Great Deals on Caribbean Cruises
Now that the temperature is starting to drop — at least a little — the thought of escaping to the sunny isles of the Caribbean is beginning to sound pretty good to us. We scoured the Internet, and found these five cruises, all of which offer sun, sand, and frozen drinks (with little umbrellas), at discounted prices. So book one of these, and you can sail to the Caribbean — and score a deal while you’re at it.

7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise
Allure of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
Cruise round trip from Fort Lauderdale, anchoring at Labadee, Haiti; Falmouth, Jamaica; and Cozumel, Mexico.
How much: From $669 per person, double occupancy. (Spend just $30 more for an outside cabin.)
When: Departs on December 1.

5-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise
SeaDream 1, SeaDream Yacht Club
Sail from Bridgetown, Barbados to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, with stops in Bequia, Guadeloupe, St. Barts, and Jost van Dyke.
How Much: From $2,799 per person, double occupancy.
When: Departs on April 5, 2014.
Why Go: A voyage on SeaDream is what a vacation in the Caribbean should be: tranquil, relaxing, and intimate. More private yacht than mega-resort at sea, this ship drops anchor at less-trodden ports. Best of all, the sale fare is 48 percent off the published rate.
How to Book: Contact your travel agent or SeaDream Yacht Club at 800.707.4911.
