The Good:
Cheap Caribbean always has new sales on all-inclusive vacation packages, which change often. You can really save money when you stay in an all-inclusive resort, as your kids often stay and eat free. We think the 10% Savings Card is really great, which comes with every Cheap Caribbean vacation package booked on CheapCaribbean.com. Basically, you get 10% back on EVERYTHING that you spend money on while you are on your vacation. Food, activities, shopping, or whatever. Who else does that!
The Bad:
The Cheap Caribbean website is really “busy”, they’ve got alot goin’ on here. This can make the site a bit distracting and difficult to find exactly what you are looking for.
The Fees *:
$50 change/cancellation fee per person (over the age of 12), by Cheap Caribbean. Plus, add any applicable airline penalties, hotel cancellation penalties, and/or any increase in price resulting from the change. *Based solely on research done by TravelSiteCritic.com, these policies and figures may be inaccurate and are subject to change. Double check before you buy.
The Deals:
Deals on United States Island Vacations, including US Virgin Island vacations from $299* are found at USIslandVacations.com
The Cheap Caribbean pricematch policy is bogus, I talked to their reps twice saying that their price is higher but I’d prefer to book with them since they offer a skymed insurance option to add onto the trip, everything else being the same – expedia’s price for flight, hotel and transfer was about 150 bucks cheaper. Catch is: you have to book on Cheap Caribbean before they honor the pricematch. So I booked. Go figure! Cheap Caribbean did not honor my request because the “skymed” add on was different for cheapcaribbean….
Will never book with them again!
Never book the cheap caribbean.com. They left us high and dry on our vacation to wyndham bahamas Aug 4-10 2010. No a/c at hotel and spent my vacation at front desk, moving rooms, and calling cheap caribbean. Agent never returned my call for other hotel options in area. All they gave me when i returned is apology and 100 credit on next trip. Why would i rebook with them? Horrible customer service
Great information source. Very helpful for those who wants to experience an all inclusive Caribbean vacation. Thanks for posting..
We used cheap carribean for the first time in Feb and were less than happy.
We got charged full trip amount instead of deposit in Oct 2009 and we were not going until Feb 27,2010
Their cancel anytime any reason insurance is NOT that at all! Read in between ALL the lines!
