Just when you thought the cruise deals couldn’t get any better, prices keep falling. This deal day we’re taking a look at some amazing deals where kids sail free. Don’t wait to book, space is going quickly.

The best deal that we found this week is on the Costa Atlantica out of Ft. Lauderdale on November 7th. You can sail the Caribbean in an outside cabin for 7 nights for a total of $1,268 for a family of four! Costa is offering its Kids Sail Free promotion on most Atlantica sailings through the remainder of 2010 and into 2011.

Holland America Cruise Line is also offering reduced and complimentary 3rd/4th passenger rates on its Caribbean, Mexico and Panama Canal sailings for the remainder of the year. We found space for a family of four for as little as $1,293 total for 7 nightson the Ryndam’s November 28th sailing from Tampa. There are plenty of other sailings available for under $1,500, so be sure to check it out before space is gone!

Finally, we’re reminding our readers again that Disney Cruise Line still is running an unadvertised deal on the January 3rd special 5 night sailing of the Disney Magic (this is the one with the double stop at Castaway Cay). Kids still sail free in a Verandah cabin when you use promo code KFO. Watch this sailing closely for further price reductions.

This deal day, we just can’t pass up some of the amazing cruise deals that are out there for November and December. If you’ve put off a vacation this year, now may be the time to act because pricing is lower than it has been the rest of the year. We’ve pulled out just a few of what we consider to be the best deals out there.

Let’s start with the Enchantment of the Seas 9-night sailings from Baltimore. With first and second passenger fares starting at only $499 ($279 for 3rd/4th), you can sail for less than $1,850 for a family of four! Want to upgrade? Try sailing onboard the Celebrity Mercury from Baltimore (same 9 nights) starting at just $549.

Carnival has a couple of super deals out there too. Sail on the Carnival Glory from just $359pp for a 7-night cruise on November 28th. That comes out to just $1,467 for a family of four! Flush with cash? Hop onboard the Carnival Valor from $399pp for a 7-night cruise from Miami to the Western Caribbean($1,538 for a family of four).

Finally, on NCL you can pretty much have your pick of ships from just $399pp with 3rd/4th rates starting at $199pp on most 7-night cruises. The least expensive sailing is on December 12th onboard the Norwegian Pearl with rates starting at $379pp. Remember, kids under 2 sail for free (just pay port taxes and fees).

It’s deal day again and this week we’re highlighting Cunard Lines 3-day Cruise Sale that starts today. With cruises on the luxurious Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria starting at only $799 per person, you can sail in style without breaking the bank. Cunard is ideal if you’re looking for an upscale cruise experience and have young kids in tow. Cunard offers a Nursery/Play Zone that is open to kids age 1 to 6. Best of all, unlike other cruise lines, babysitting is included for FREE! If you’re sailing with a child under the age of 1, they can also enjoy the play area when supervised by an adult. Check out our cruise line babysitting guide for more details.

The gem of this sale is an 11-night sailing on the Queen Mary 2 on December 8, 2010. You can sail round-trip from New York for 11 nights from just $995 per person for an inside cabin! You’ll also get up to $300 in onboard credits and a reduced deposit. This is a rare deal for Cunard, so act quickly before the space disappears.

The runner up is a 7-night Mediterranean sailing from Rome to Southampton onboard the Queen Victoria. With inside cabins from $799 per person (no 4th pax availability), what makes this sailing special is that it sails during the Thanksgiving holiday. Note that the promotional brochure advertises it as a 12-night sailing – now that would be a real bargain, but alas, it isonly 7 nights in reality. Up to $300 onboard credit is also available on this sailing.

It’s deal day again and this weeks deal is a Disney of a deal! Disney Cruise Line is offering its Kids Sail Free promotion for Verandah cabins only on the Disney Magic sailings between January 3 and March 5, 2011. If you’ve never sailed with Disney, this might be a great time to explore what Disney Cruise Line has to offer. Check out our review for more information.

Starting with the 5 night Bahamas sailing on January 3, 2011, you can sail in a Verandah cabin from only $2765 for a family of four - this one still isn’t listed on their website, so take advantage of the secret savings on this sailing while it lasts. The less expensive verandahs on the 7 night Caribbean sailings are drying up quickly (cabins on the February 19th sailing were gone before the sale started), but you can still hop on board the January 22, 2011 sailing from only $3,341 for a family of four. To obtain this special pricing, use booking code KFO.

Let me say again that when Disney launches these promotions, cabins sell fast. If you follow us on Twitter, you noticed that we tweeted this deal yesterday morning, before it even hit the Disney website. So, if you want to stay on top of these deals make sure that you follow us on Twitter!
