When we've taken vacations in the past, we can usually depend on the cost of the room and maybe the transportation to get there. But, then there are the added costs of any entertainment, local transportation, and dining to name a few.
We used to think that cruises were expensive and frivolous. I also thought that it wold be stupid just setting around on a boat for a week to get somewhere. After all, we could fly to one of these places and spend all our time there. The problem is that I hadn't experienced one of these cruise vacations to know that they didn't have to be expensive.

After going on our first cruise I realized that the cruise is about the cruise. It isn't about going to the different ports that it stops in. The port excursions are not really the point of the cruise.
Our last cruise was about $380.00 for my wife and me for four nights on board a cruise ship. We've also found that it doesn't matter if we spent a little or a lot of money on the cruise. All of the activities on the ship are still available to us. Even if we wanted to participate in one of the activities that are included in a $1,800.00 cruise, we could pay a little more than what we spent on the inexpensive cruise vacation and participate in those.
The thing is that we don't have enough time on the cruise to do all the things that are standard for the inexpensive cruise. We really don't feel like we are missing out because of the things that are not available to us in the expensive cruises.
