Prices are all over the place and there are discounts etc etc. Do you just find something that you can afford and take a chance or is there a reasonably easy way to compare prices?

Cruising prices can be all over the place, but rule of thumb for a mass market cruise is; $100 per person per day is what to expect. So lets say for a 7 day Caribbean cruise for 2, expect to pay around $1400. This should include taxes, but not gratuities. That could add up to an additional $80 pp.
