This is a "cruise addict" forum, so you may get some biased answers...

Triptakers, I haven't been to an all-inclusive and I have been on a cruise; I'd like to see some more comments from people who have done both as well.

Many of the all-inclusive resort packages include alcoholic drinks and sodas which may play into the cost comparison.

Traveling to cruise debarkation ports in New Orleans or Florida is more flexible and less expensive for us than going to an all-inclusive outside of the US; however, many of the all-inclusives packages can be arranged with a charter flight which provides air transportation from a city in the US to the location of the all-inclusive resort.

Some people do not care for a cruise because they fear they will get seasick.

One good thing about staying at one location vs a cruise ship is that a person can spend more time doing excursion type activities and can really get to know their way around the area after a couple of days.

How does the entertainment provided (if any) at all-inclusive resorts compare to that provided on cruise ships?
