Well, depending on how you worded your question, "how much does a cruise ship cost for traveling to the Carribean under running and maintenance fees?" That can be anywhere from $15,500 a day to $45,700 a day. This depends on the type of cruise ship and the ports-of-call.
On the other note, "How much is a ticket to the Carribean?" This too depends on what line you decide to travel through. Sometimes, certain vessels don't depart from every location, you, the traveler must take a plane or train to a certain city and then get to the wharf. There are varying package deals as well. You might be able to get a car to the wharf for $50 to $100 a day, usually under that cost, and then the trip details could be anywhere from $1200 to $6000+, depending on what suite you registered for.
Many cruise lines do package deals in the winter months for traveling. This time of the year, being colder, the cost comes down on some cruise lines. Others, go up, considerably. About ten years I was invited on a cruise to Massachusetts, via a plane ride up there and travel to the dock by car. That was taken care of by the club, however, the voyage was $5520 per person.
Many cruise lines issue their prices accorrding to the stats of travel, "where people want to go at this time of year," "Where people want to go for ports-of-call" and the like. Many lines follow trends, while others, still, have their own philosophies. Cunard, for instance who merged with the White Star Line back years ago, under the new name Cunard/White Star has the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 which operated year 'round at extensive prices. Last year, the QM2 had an unbelievable low at $1300 per person, which wasn't great, but in it's own way was.
So, that's about it. You can call cruise lines reps for more info usually, or book through a travel agency. Word of warning, however, some companies can rook you over going through either / or, so, just make sure before you go, you do your research thoroughly before deciding who to go with.
Good luck to you and enjoy your passage.
Happy Holidays!
