Cheap spring break trips can be found if you have the right frame of mind. The problem is that most college students don't consider cruises with planning their vacation. An airfare ticket can often account for almost half the total cost of the package. This is not the case with most cruises.
Naturally, distance plays a major role in the per person cost of spring break cruises. Traveling from Alabama to Cancun will always cost more than Florida to Freeport or Bimini, Bahamas. More fuel equals more cost for the cruise line . Also, international taxes are typically higher to Mexico. All this translates to a higher per person ticket price for you and your friends. However, none of this comes close to the cost of jet fuel and international taxes imposed on the airlines. We all want the biggest bang for our buck and cruise packages can often be the best way to achieve this.
Cheap spring break cruises depart from Florida daily during the month of March. Ft. Lauderdale and Cape Canaveral both have ships that travel to several ports in the Bahamas and beyond. Some of these take you to several destinations and others travel nonstop to one destination. You will either stay on the ship in a cabin or in a hotel on the island until it's time to depart back to Florida.
It's important to note that most of these types of cruises fill up six months prior to March each year. Age restrictions prevent high school students from traveling on most ships, so it will be almost 100% college spring break students.
Plan early, do your research, and make spring break 2010 your best ever.
