Discount Caribbean Vacations

Find this beach in a search for Caribbean discount vacations.


The Caribbean encompasses the Gulf of Mexico, close to 7,000 islands and landforms and the southernmost coastlines bordering the Gulf. The weather is tropical and open for tourism all year round. The most popular locations visited in the Caribbean include the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Belize, and Mexico. However, there are many more private and less touristy locations throughout the Caribbean for vacationers to explore. Discounts are available throughout the year.


All-Inclusive Vacations


All-inclusive offers provide vacationers with a complete vacation package with everything included, even tipping, taxes and transportation to and from the airport. In the Caribbean this gives guests unlimited access to designated beach resorts including pools, water sports, beaches and all appropriate equipment. Resorts offer programs for children, guest entertainment programs, meal plans and unlimited drinks.


Many Caribbean resorts offer extravagant pool features like waterslides, waterfalls, swim-up bar services, and full-sized waterparks. Atlantis Bahamas, Beaches Jamaica, Beaches Turks Caicos, Coconut Bay Resort St. Lucia and Hyatt Hacienda del Mar Puerto Rico have large waterpark features with lazy rivers, waterslides, and watery play zones. All resorts provide the equipment and guidance to guests who wish to partake in snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing and sunfish sailing.


Resorts provide kids programs and babysitting for even the youngest of visitors. Children will enjoy participating in planned scavenger hunts, parties, talent shows and bingo daily. Typically, vacationers have meal plans which could be dinner only, lunch and dinner or all three meals for the duration of the trip, at a selection of restaurants.


Cruise Vacations


Caribbean cruise vacations offer guests a way to enjoy several different Caribbean locations while having their hotel travel along with them. Cruises provide guests with sleeping quarters, all meals, kid's programs, and entertainment while onboard. In port, guests choose from a variety of guided shore excursions or, as a cost saving, explore on their own. Overall, cruising is less expensive than comparable vacations to multiple destinations.


When booking a cruise, a cabin on the lowest deck is less expensive while guests still receive the same amenities as guests with upper deck balcony suites. Choose an older ship over one of the newer megaships. Older ships tend to offer discounted rates and retain the high-quality service and entertainment expected of a Caribbean cruise. Dollar-for-dollar, vacationers get more for their money. Look for promotions during months of the year when children are in school. This is considered off-season for the cruise industry and discounts are plentiful on Caribbean cruise vacations.


Last-Minute


When time is not a problem and a person can afford to make last-minute arrangements for a vacation, there are plenty of opportunities available. American Airlines has a last-minute travel section on their website under the fare sales and special offers tab. You can find last-minute travel to the Caribbean with departure within 24 to 72 hours of making the arrangements. Discounts go as low as 75 percent off and a rental car is available with the booking.

Those booking a last-minute vacation must leave no later than the upcoming weekend. American Express will book airfare, rental cars, and hotels as a package or as individual parts.
