Yeah, I'm doing a similar cruise this summer (but round trip), and
the price is already jawdropping, once everything is included.
I wanted to do the 4-generation thing, but my grandmother wouldn't
agree to go. Still, it'll be quite an experience, and a cruise is
something where my parents can participate.
It ends up being a lot more expensive per day than our usual trips,
and I travel a lot. I just paid $1760 for shore excursions for 7
people, for instance, not everyone going on every trip, and nothing
really elaborate like a helicopter....
The best I can do is find out about all the costs well beforehand,
so I can pay them or set aside the money, and then forget about it,
and go have a good time later. Still, I can see this won't be a
regular thing.
