Looking at my favorite cruise price aggregator shows some August and September 5 day cruises to Cuba with either an overnight in Havana and or stops at coco cay, or Cozumel, or key west in the $300 range for inside cabin. One as low as $336/pp.

Could be a cheap and easy Cuba vacation assuming No storms.

Hi. I moved this one here, because it's about cruises. What cruise line? That is awfully cheap.

Well Carol, PPirate does say Royal Carib and August in Subject line. But not favorite aggregator or ship name.

I hunt with Vacations to Go. Have to give em email to see. The boats were Empress and Majesty of the sees out of tampa Nd miami.

Prices have inched up a bit. Still have one 4-day sailing for $336/each and one 5-day under $400.

Might be a nice weekend getaway from florida.

duh It would help if I would READ, huh!!!!

I wouldn't mind doing that at all, but we have some stuff going on now. It is encouraging that prices on these cruises are going down though.

Think maybe the price is so cheap because it's their oldest ships? No balconies.

You are right, just looked them up and they are relatively old 1980s and early 1990s.

Were cheap inside people so we’d feel like bigshots knowing few/if any can claim balconies.

Id be happy if the boat is clean, friendly and has decent food/service. Our fi st cruises wre in the 1970s and we liked those old boats with less nickel/diming on stuff.

Yes, back then, cruising was, amazingly enough, about the OCEAN. Give me one of the old Dolphin ships any day! GREAT food and service, on an old style ocean liner.

Agree. Weve never had a bad cruise. The ocean has always done its job.

We are amazed at how the big ships with lots of Passengers keep everybody distributed and out of lines.
