Cruises provide a great variety of choices all with consistently high quality cuisine; and it's included in your cruise fare. The Sandals Resort is totally all-inclusive, so we have included a weekly budget of $200 per person for alcohol assuming each guest consumes six drinks per day on their cruise.

Gambling is offered on cruise ships, but this is not considered a form of entertainment that was included on this chart. Entertainment would include lavish productions, comedy shows, live bands, discos, cover charges, piano bars, karaoke, etc.

Obviously, there are dozens of cruises and hundreds of hotels in these same destinations: some less expensive and some more costly. The seasonality of demand may also affect prices. These cruise and hotel properties were selected because they deliver a comparable experience among one another.
