Planning your bachelorette trip or your bestie's bachelorette trip? You might already be eyeing popular spots like Charleston, Scottsdale, or Nashville. These locations seem great until you’re making reservations for every meal, ordering drinks at every bar, calling Ubers, and drowning in Venmo requests. Ubers, meals, drinks, and activities add up quickly, and the math can get messy!
Here’s the good news—you don’t have to do it that way! Have you considered going to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico or even hopping on a cruise? You’d be surprised at the cost difference—and just how much easier these all-inclusive options are!! Let’s break the cost down for each option!
Charleston Weekend Breakdown
Charleston is full of Southern charm and rooftop bars, but the costs add up fast. Here’s what a
typical long weekend there could look like.
Round-trip flights per person = $300-600
Hotel average per night per person (shared accommodations) = $250
Daily brunch, dinner, and night out per person ($120/day) = $360 for 3 days
Ubers for the weekend per person = $80
Group activities like a boat rental or day trip per person = $300
Charleston Total Per Person = $1,290-1,590
That’s WITHOUT the extras like buying drink rounds or spontaneous shopping trips. And, of course, Charleston’s charm comes with those little additional expenses that can sneak up on you!
Mexico All-Inclusive Breakdown
What about taking the bride to Cancun or Cabo? Sunny skies, warm beaches, and endless margaritas!! All-inclusive resorts bundle nearly everything, so you can relax without the constant worry of budgeting. Here’s what a typical 4-night getaway to Mexico might look like:

4-night resort stay per person = $700-$1200

Every meal, every drink, every poolside and beachside activity is covered. PLUS no reservations, splitting checks, or discussions about budgeting.
Cruise Breakdown
Cruises are a great option for brides within driving distance to a cruise port! With multiple destinations, endless onboard entertainment, and all-inclusive perks, cruising delivers an unforgettable experience with minimal planning!
Cruise fare per person (includes meals and entertainment) = $600-$900
Cruise port parking per person = $20
Drink packages per person = $300
Shore excursions or activities per person = $200

Why Go All-Inclusive?
No Hidden Costs
With all-inclusive packages, you pay upfront, and you’re set.
Stress-Free Planning
All-inclusive trips make planning a breeze. You don’t need to track RSVPs for brunch reservations or map out nightclubs. Everything’s prepped for you—all you need to do is pack your suitcase.
Unique Experiences
Charleston has cobblestone streets and rooftop bars, sure, but can it compete with snorkeling or private beach cabanas? Cruises and resorts offer unforgettable activities from scuba adventures to relaxing spa retreats.
Would you rather shuffle through Venmo requests and rideshares, or sip cocktails by the pool knowing everything’s covered? Whether you’re sailing the open seas or relaxing at a tropical resort, all-inclusive trips truly take your celebration to the next level.
Make it easy. Make it memorable. Go all-inclusive for your bachelorette trip!
