Affordable Caribbean cruises in 2025—that you’ll want to go on
MSC Seascape Caribbean & Antilles 7-Night Getaway (November & December)
Well-known and respected, MSC offers a fantastically within-reach seven-night escape across the Caribbean and Western Antilles. This is one of the best family-friendly options out there, letting you enjoy almost every amenity, even with its most basic package. The Seascape has 15 dining venues and 19 bars, plus separate clubs for kids and teens.
Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas 5-Night Getaway (Monthly)
At the time of writing, interior rooms for this cruise are less than $400 a night—that’s an offer that’s hard to beat, even with the most affordable Caribbean cruises in 2025. As an added perk, the port of call is Tampa, Florida, which is a bit cheaper than Miami. Even better are the monthly departure dates, letting you nab cheap room rates pretty much any time of year.
Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas 4-Night Getaway (September)
This is my favorite affordable Caribbean cruise for one reason: you stop in Bimini, which means you can check out the coolest sites on the tiny island chain. (There’s a Fountain of Youth!) Aside from that lovely stopover, plan for even more Bahamian adventures, including a stop in the capital of Nassau during this short four-night escape.
Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Summit 4-Night Getaway (October)
If you’re looking for a more adult-oriented cruise, stick with Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Summit getaway. There’s a four-night option that takes you to the same spots as the Jewel of the Seas (above), meaning you can stop in Bimini and Nassau before cruising back to Fort Lauderdale. The difference is that Celebrity Cruise has better programs for adults, like I mentioned. For example, there’s a Broadway cabaret show and a ‘rockumentary’ show.
Princess Cruises Regal Princess 4-Day Getaway (October)
Regal Princess offers a few affordable Caribbean cruises, including Cozumel stops and Grand Turk picks. Similar to Royal Caribbean, Princess is a well-known and family-oriented line that offers plenty in the way of amenities, entertainment, and on-shore excursions. At the time of writing, the most affordable cruises in the Caribbean are its Cozumel cruises.
