If your PTO is stingy but your wanderlust is loud, the sweet spot is a 3–5 night getaway. Short sailings from Florida, Texas, and California are loaded with value—think big 2nd-guest savings, Kids Sail Free on select dates, and onboard credit you can spend on Wi-Fi, cabanas, or shore tours. You’ll see offers like up to 75% off 2nd guest, $30/night onboard credit, and bundles that include drinks and Wi-Fi on select itineraries. Check Bahamas and Western Caribbean departures for the most frequent quick-turn options.

Pro moves for the best price

• Sail Thu–Mon or Fri–Tue to stretch a weekend without draining PTO
• Compare total value, not just fare—free drinks/Wi-Fi + OBC often beats a cheaper “bare” fare
• If you’re traveling as a crew, look for FREE 3rd/4th guests on select sailings to drop the per-person cost
