www.southwest.com usually has the best fares that I can find. Depending on what day of the week and time of day, you can usually get a one way fare for $79- equates to about $160/person round trip. I am noticing on the southwest.com website, though, that they don't fly out of Greenville. Would you be able to fly out of Raleigh/Durham? Southwest is where I have always found the cheapest rates, and they have a thing where you can sign up and have low rates emailed to you, for whichever cities you'd like, as they become available. There have been a few that were less than the $79 one. The only problem is that they usually don't put the rates out until 4 months in advance, so you would have to wait until September. Try checking these websites and see if there is anything cheaper that's available now.

Misty, I have never taken a cruise but I have heard time and time again that you should always fly in the night before. This way if there are any flight delays you won't be so stressed.
