There are a lot of factors that affect the final average cost of a cruise on any cruise line. The bottom line is that cruises generally cost about $125.00 per day per person AND all cruises are priced based on double occupancy (2 people per cabin). So if you want to go on a 7 day cruise it will be it will be in the range of $700 to $800 per person, but sometimes less if you find a special.

Since cruises can be 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, or 14 days or more the price will depend mostly on how many days your cruise is. Then the cruise lines give the best price for early bookings that are a year or more in advance. Cruise lines also list specials on their web sites so do look for those. The specials can many times save you a couple hundred per person over the price for the exact same cruise on a different date.

All cruise cabins are sold based on double occupancy and the prices listed will be per person and based on at least two people going on the cruise. The price you pay will depend also on the type cabin/accommodations that you choose.

There are 4 basic types of cabins on ships;
- inside (no window),................................... least expensive
- outside (a window or porthole),
- balcony/veranda, and
- suites and penthouses.......................... most expensive.

The "FROM" prices you see will always be for an inside cabin. There are also some subcategories within each category with cabins on a higher deck, and/or a better location on ship (like midship), and/or that are slightly larger costing more. So as you browse, pay attention to the square footage of the cabins.

Carnival is the budget cruise line that generally has the lowest prices. The best of their ships are their newer ships so do pay attention to when the ship was launched is you find a really cheap cruise.

For the most part all cruises are all inclusive and you will not have to pay for anything else except gratuities.

So that's how you figure out how much a cruise would cost you.

A seven day cruise on a nice ship like Princess with a balcony cabin(the most popular cabins) is about $1,700 per person. But this is a very general price range. A lot depends on where you are going, what cruise company you choose, and what kind of a deal you can get. To see a better idea of what a cruise may cost go to Princess.com or vacations to go. You will see cruises starting for as low as $300 per person on up. The $300 per person cruise are for very short cruises though, like 2 or 3 days.

Carnival is usually cheaper than Royal Caribbean. You can go during off season and it's even cheaper (around October-May). Usually if you get one leaving from like Miami, or Port Canaveral it's a little cheaper as well. My fiance and I are going on a cruise the end of May '09 for our Honeymoon, it leaves from Port Canaveral, and we are getting a cabin with a balcony, and with taxes, the total was $2495. Cruises are really cheap compared to other vacations you might take. That price includes all of your food and drinks (except for soda and alcohol). And they are so much fun!

There's a cruise "around" New York City that you can take pretty cheaply. But if you want to go to the Caribbean that will be over a $1000. But a worldwide cruise could get really expensive.

There are too many variables to answer your question with any solid number. However, in general, on the mass-market lines you would expect to pay about $100 per person per day.

go to vacationstogo.com and look up every cruise in the world and see the discounted pricing they offer.

A cruise for how long? Leaving from where and sailing to where? At what time of year? With what kind of accommodations?

Cruises can cost anywhere from $599 to $10,000 per person -- and that's just a rough guideline. You might be able to get some kind of special deal that's even cheaper than that, but you'd be stuck below decks in a tiny cabin during the middle of hurricane season.

You really need to decide WHEN and WHERE you want to cruise, and then go to some cruise line Web sites to see what they have to offer. Or simply go to a travel agent -- yes, there are still some out there -- and let them answer all your questions.
