We had also scored an aft balcony and full drinks packages (coffee, soda and booze) along with gratuities and a bunch of shipboard credit. BUT the big draw was Panama and Key West. I am not a beach person so the changes only make thinks worse, especially with a 21-day itinerary.
Our travel agent has already run the new prices for us, but it’s still a lot of money to cruise to somewhere we don’t enjoy visiting. We’ll have to consider our options after the long weekend.
There aren’t many Boston-based choices (we live less than an hour from port) so I’ll be interested in seeing what other folks decide.
