Why You Should Go: Unfortunately, your summer trip budget was maxed out on gas, ice cream pit stops and barbecue runs to the grocery store. Fortunately, though summer vacation may have passed you by without, well, a vacation, you can easily make up for it this fall with a three-night cruise for two through the Bahamas from Norwegian Cruise Lines.

What You Should Know: Depart from Miami and set sail for fun, sun and adventure as you cruise through the gorgeous Bahamian waters, stopping at Nassau and Norwegian Cruise Line’s own private Island, Great Stirrup Cay, throughout four tropical days and three gorgeous nights. Onboard you’ll be able to feast at the ship’s six different restaurants (all onboard meals are included!), sip the day away at one of the bars, relax by the pool, participate in games and activities, and enjoy the live entertainment. On island your options are endless, whether you want to keep your feet in the white sand all day long, or head into town for some much-needed shopping. So leave all your worries on the dock, and get ready for that extended-summer vacation you thought you missed.
