How Much Does A
Caribbean 5 Day Cruise Cost?

How much will a 5 day cruise cost your family?

Whether you can find a cheap Caribbean cruise or a family cruise deal, your big question is "How much?"

Like any other budget-minded family, you want to find the best Caribbean cruise package for your family. Consequently, you are prepared to check with a Travel Agent or search offers from several online travel agencies.

We understand. With families of three, four, or five members, we must pay attention to every dollar spent.

So, let us look at what a 5-day inclusive cruise vacation will cost your family.

Factors Affecting 5 Day Cruise Cost

First off, we must note that certain factors affect the cost of your Caribbean cruise package: 

1. The Caribbean cruise line you choose - Carnival Cruise Line generally offers the least expensive 5-night cruise packages to the Caribbean. 

2. The time of year you travel - Your 5-day cruise cost will be somewhat less if you travel during certain seasons, such as spring and fall and will always cost more during the summer and around any major holiday - Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

3. The type of cabin you choose - An inside cabin will cost less than an ocean view or balcony cabin, and much less than a suite. Additionally, an inside cabin for two guests with a pair of bunk beds, will cost more than any other inside cabin. 

4. The number of people in your family - Your 5-day cruise will cost more if there are four members in your family sharing two cabins than if all four members share the same cabin.

Yes, I understand that age matters. If the members of your family are of a certain age, it may be tough to have everyone in one cabin.

However, aim to keep family members in one cabin to minimize your 5-day cruise cost. 

Note: Caribbean cruise liners have a minimum number of cabins that hold four or five people. Therefore, if your family numbers more than three, you should plan to book early to ensure that you grab one of the available cabins for your 5-night Caribbean cruise.

Understanding Posted Cruise Prices

When searching for a 5-day cruise cost or any length cruise, you will notice a posted price. That cruise price is always the least expensive fare. More often than not, that price will be for an interior cabin at the bottom of the ship.

In some cases, that price represents a cabin with bunk beds only and will only work for two guests.

Additionally, the posted cruise price is generally what the first two guests in a cabin will each pay. If there are more people in your party, the posted price either jumps to a higher ticket price or stays the same, while everyone else in the cabin will often pay a lower cruise ticket price.

Let us look at what a 5-night cruise will cost your family.
