If you're able to cut and run in the next month, have a quick look at Ocean Village. It's offering a seven-night cruise in the Med departing from Palma, Mallorca, on October 27 from £599 per person.
That's just £85.50 a day, and you get a flight, transfers and all 24/7 buffet dining food thrown in as well. Oh, and if you can take the kids, they'll look after them for free as well.
If you'd rather hang on for a post-Christmas get away, Oceean Village has 14 nights in the Caribbean departing Barbados on December 30 from £1,329 per person.
That's just under £95 a day and again includes flights and transfers, plus the chance to visit loads of favourite islands in the sun as well - Tortola, St Maarten, St Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Tobago, Isla Margarita , St Lucia, Grenada and St Vincent.
These prices are for online bookings, but you never know what your travel agent might have in store, especially with National Cruise Week starting on Sunday, so check that out as well.
