please help me find something... thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check vacations to go for the cheapest prices, but for two people you may be able to find a 2 or 3 day cruise, that's about it.

Answer 2

After cruising a few times and researching it, at most you wil be able to find a cruise maybe around the cost of NY or Cali, for 2/3 days, dont really think of going anywhere else.

500 dollars for both= 250 each, and a cruise ticket per person tends to be around 1,000 + even for 4 days...

good luck.

Instead why dont you go away and stay in a nice hotel for a few nights, and do a spa treatment.

Answer 3

Ebay. Some people are looking to ditch their cruise tickets.

Answer 4

Since you want to go from NYC, no, because there aren't any 3-4 day cruises from NY.  Cruises tend to be priced about $100/person/day [mass-market cruises].

Answer 5

HI! check for a good price http://riveraramos.vacationmedia.net/ every week you see very good special

Answer 6

It is possible it all depends when you go. Look into September and October of 2008 when its not peak season any longer. My boyfriend and I are leaving on a cruise to the bahamas for a weekend for $325.00 including port taxes, and that is that we are going in August because of my school. Normally in September you will be able to get it for 280.

Also, try travelocity.com normally they have good rates.

Answer 7

www.CruisesOnly.com

Go to this website they have huge discounts. They als have other discounts for 200 dollars spending money on the ship. The cheapest cruise i cound find was 700 dollars for me and my mom. Ita also depends on what time of the year you go, and dont travel during hurracane season.

Answer 8

Yes it's possible but you will have to go when and where the cruise goes and it will likely not be more than 2 or 3 days.

Norwegian cruise line does lots of one-day cruises from New York City  later this year and you missed some that were April and May:  http://www.ncl.com/nclweb/cruisesearch/c...  

Carnival Cruise lines also has some 2-day cruises out of NY City later this year:  http://www.carnivalcruiselines.com/find_...    

Royal Caribbean has a lot of 4-day cruises that are in your price range but they leave out of Ft Lauderdale Florida.  :http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruis...

There are probably a bunch of other cruises that are 3 to 4 days that leave from Florida.  But this is the best I can do on such short notice ...LOL
