Cruise
Pro: To board a cruise sailing to a sunny climate, all that’s needed is a domestic ticket, departing from within the U.S., at ports of call in Florida (Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando and Tampa), Texas (Galveston, by way of Houston) and California (Los Angeles). You might even be able to drive to a port, paying only for gas.
Con: There isn’t any wiggle room with dates as the cruises have set departure and arrival dates.
All-Inclusive Resort
Pro: Unlike a cruise, you can fly any day of the week and stay as many nights as you like, providing flexibility with booking a flight.
Con: As there are few all-inclusive resorts in the U.S., you’re most likely paying for a costly international ticket, to Mexico or within the Caribbean.
