$4 Flights and $80/day Cruises, Wow!

October 30^th we leave on our Caribbean 10 day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale. I booked our flight through Spirit Airlines $9 Club and got a flight down from Detroit for $4. The best I could find on a return ticket was $79. We are flying down on the 30^th, the same day we embark the ship but we are not returning til Nov 14 which is 5 nights after we are back. This gives us a few days in Florida to try to lose some weight before we fly home. With all taxes and fees included our final cost was $199 total (both ways) for both of us. That works out to $50 each way, each. How do they do that? It costs me more to run my boat to Lexington which is only 18 miles away.

Our cruise on the premium Holland America Maasdam was about $80 per day converted into Canadian Pesos $1700 for both of us. (outside cabin) There are some islands we’ve never been to as well as some familiar stops, but the main attraction is our old friends from previous cruises. Holly and Barry, Cheryl and John and Sharon and Greg, Unfortunately our good friends Donna and Pete can’t go this time due to business convictions. Hopefully they can work it out and join us. Other good friends from previous cruises have written to say that they have family commitments or have to work (bummer!) but the ship is not booked at this time so if any of you have any inclinations toward a fall Caribbean cruise, go for it! We’d love to have you aboard.
