A couple of questions:
Have you built marketplaces?
What is your tax/luxury/science slider looking like? You may have to decrease your science rate if you are not succeeding at your current rate.
Other than that, I would suggest that you get luxuries if you find that your cities are coming close to or are in disorder in the following ways:
1) Luxuries from other civs via trade (hopefully you'll be able to afford a deal after the increase in income after lowering the science slider).
2) Short wars whose aim is to capture enemy cities that have luxuries are also very good--but be wary of war weariness, and try not to get involved in lengthy conflicts (especially in consideration of your current luxuries situation).
Hope this helps.
