7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise from $279

Not only is this ship considered one of the best for first-timers, but the price is perfect for rookies too. If you’ve never been on a cruise, or are just about due for another, here’s a great way to go without investing too much money. Carnival Valor is sailing a seven-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary, roundtrip from Miami in mid-December, starting from $279 per person. This same cruise, just one week later, jumps $400 in price to $679 per person — so you’ll know you’re getting a great value.
