Hey im trying to get an idea of cost.... Im thinking some tropical island.... Laid back and quiet not touristy or party place..... Im thinking 3k budget. I know i cant afford all inclusive but cost of food and drinks costs money... ...a week long trip.... Is it possible?

It's possible! My FI and I are paying 2400 for a week cruise that leaves out of San Juan Puerto Rico. 

Look into cruises- i think they are the BEST vacation possible!

I think you can still do an AI for that amount! Have you looked into the Dominican Republic? Try Catalonia Bavaro Royal (in P unta Cana). We were staying there when we got engaged and we really liked it. I think we may have paid more like $4000, but we booked kind of last minute (only a few months before) and I remember a LARGE chunk of that being airfare.

You may also want to check out bookit.com. Sometimes they have pretty good deals and I think they have some kind of Caribbean vacation incentive going right now.

You can totally do an AI for under $3K.  We paid $3400, including flight, after taxes, fees, etc for 6 nights at Secrets Montego Bay in August (plus another $100 for travel insurance).

And the price had actually gone up since we has started looking....it was originally around $2800 back in January.
