My last cruise deal that I went on was last week ( Oct. 12-16 ) and it cost me total including taxes $179. I tipped the cabin steward $12 so for 4 nights it was less than you'd pay for one nights hotel and food anywhere. I went on the Majesty of the Seas and the ports were Nassau, Key West and their private island.

My wife and I have gone on a 17 night Transatlantic on Princess in a suite that included A/F from San Diego for $5200 for both of us that started in Rome, Florence, Cannes, Cartegena Spain, Barcelona, Gibraltar, Casablanca, Portugal, Ft. Lauderdale and then New Orleans. PM if you'd like some of the links on where to get the best deals. Booking yourself on these cruises is very easy and you will save hundreds of dollars by sourcing out the best sites. Why pay somebody else to do it for you when you can do it yourself and then use the money you save on more important things,,,,like cigars!!

I have done it both ways and in the end, I have found my source to have great offers for me. She always works it to get me the best price. Sends me a list of every option I have. I sit back, decide and off I go. The rest of my time? Smoke cigars.
