First, go in the off-season. Prices are always down since business is slow. I don't know where you live, but sometimes even a short 2hr drive can take you to a new small town with a resort, or a small hotel. Depends if you want to be pampered or just want to get away. You don't need to go 5000 miles and endure the flights, etc. Just look around, go to a local travel information centre, and find places near home. Enjoy yourself, save lots of money, see new areas, meet new people, and come back relaxed.
If you're deadset on the bahamas, last minute fares are usually cheap. If you live near a cruise ship terminal keep a bag packed and watch for the late tickets. If you don't, it gets more complicated. You can snap up a cheap cruise but a late flight may be expensive, offsetting the savings. Check out travel sites for sales, etc. Keep your options open (don't say "I want to go from September 5 to 10 ONLY" - that will limit your options) so that if a cheap fare comes up you can adjust your schedule to it. There's lots of ways to do it, you just need to be savvy and knowledgeable. And keep a bag packed!
A Russian luxury yacht company is now offering pirate-hunting trips that promise the chance to be attacked by real sea bandits. (See link) Who's up for this type of cruise?

You're reading I'm a hard worker and in need of a vacation. Truth of the matter is that I just can't afford to go where I want to go. I'd love to take off for the Bahamas or a cruise, but there is no possible way I can afford that. Are there any cheap ways to go?
