jgalecpa - I'm trying not to be rude to you, but you misunderstood my post. If you are a frequest traveller, then you must know that there is NO WAY that a family of 3 could take a cruise over a holiday period for 7 days and only spend $1000!
I believe CoachMinnie's question was not "how much did your cruise cost" but how much did you spend on stuff on the ship. (Coach, if I've misunderstood, I apologize.) Hence my answer was for that limited request.
The $1000 was only what we spent on the ship, it did not include:
- cost of the cruise
- hotel for the night before
- rental car for the day after
- the shopping on Cozumel, GC, & KW
- the excursions on COZ, GC & KW
Not to mention all the stuff I bought for us beforehand, the new camera, the film & developing, etc....
As it happened I had FF points for the airfare, so shave off the $600 that would have cost for the 3 of us.
Add all this together and jgalecpa the total for 3 of us was about 8-9x what you came up with. Like I said, I don't really want to figure out the true total or I will have a coronary.
Now do you understand why it was the probably a once in a lifetime for us?
