Cheap all-inclusive vacation recommendations?

Royal Carribean Cruises.

We'd really like to just sit on a beach somewhere with an umbrella drink and a good view. I hadn't really looked into the cruise thing because I wasn't into the idea but I just looked up Royal Caribbean and it is so much cheaper! I may have to reconsider it as an option.

gotoday.com - gone on a couple trip through them - puerto vallarta and rome. but nothing is inexpensive now with fluctuating gas prices.

All Inclusives in the Cancun Playa del Carmen and Mayan Riviers are very economical and are great fun. Have done these five times over the years and come back relaxed, tan and 10 pounds heavier. Great food and drinks.

I have done Sandals in the Carribean and had a good experience with them.

My friend told me about the cruises when we were looking for ideas for Spring Break. It's much cheaper then a lot of other things I have done in the past, and some of their cruises that go to the Bahamas ect. leave from Baltimore.

Tripadvisor.com - it is your friend

A friend of mine has used Apple several times in the past with very good success. If I remember correctly, she went to Nuevo Vallarta?

I've done some cruises in the past, but I've heard over the past year or so that they're not nearly as all-inclusive as they used to be, charging for things that used to be a given (non-alcoholic drinks, etc.).

Our favorite place to go (and we've traveled the world) is to hop on a plane in Detroit, land at Orlando, get a rental car and drive east to Indialantic Florida. We stay at a place called Oceanfront Cottages, and they're WONDERFUL. Prices are outstanding, and you're right there. It's not horribly touristy there, yet you're a reasonable drive to Disneyworld, Kennedy Space Center, etc.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Keep them coming.

Has anyone used this website?

There are some crazy cheap deals on here but I'm worried that it's a "too-good-to-be-true" kind of thing.

I do all of my own internet research and narrow it down to three choices with pricing. I then take that information to my AAA office and let the staff price them and see if they can do better. Sometimes the agents are privy to other special pricing or deals that I cannot get on my own.
On our cruise a couple years ago, they saved me $ 300 and got me an upgrade to a suite with a balcony.

A friend of mine likes to use Breezes - http://www.breezes.com/

they had gone to Sandals a lot, but didnt need all the amenities - just sand and sun... they also go to this site to look for bargains - http://www.cheapcaribbean.com to look for places.

these guys go to the caribbean every year, and always try to do it on the cheap...

We have used Luxury Link since its inception. Great place to start your search even if you don't book thru the site.

Don't have a "booking" recommendation, but the one time I went on a cruise via Carnival it was super cheap and one of the times of my life.

Heck now that I think about it, I paid less for the entire vacation (cruise, food, and way there and back) than I do for a months rent.

$350 for 4 day 3 night cruise to Cozumel Island, MX Paid $150 for greyhound from WV to Houston, TX + cab to/from bus to dock, since I didn't drink alcohol or pop drinks were free. Spent another $100 or so there on food and mostly picking up custom handcrafted chess boards. ^_

That is on the cheaper end, you can get a LOT of similar or better trips via AAA or a handful of local travel agents. Make sure to post a couple pics here on TT when you get back :)
