I received the Blue Chip offer via email. The Christmas sailing on the Reflection that we were considering for a family vacation was available, but by the time I quoted the additional cabins, beverage package, internet, & gratuities, it was out of our budget (we need 3 cabins for 4 adults, 1 senior, & 2 teens plus beverage packages & internet for everyone). If the family still wants to do a cruise for Christmas, we'll have to do the HAL Nieuw Amsterdam. If they are willing to skip the family trip this year, we are considering the 4-night cruise on the Summit departing on 12/27.
We've never done a short cruise. Four nights seems really short, and not worth the 12 hour drive to Miami. Has anyone done a 4 night cruise on the Summit? Is there any catch to the Blue Chip deal? The price I was quoted was just taxes & port fees. We're used to doing the all-included with premium upgrades, so we'd still probably spend close to $1500 for the cruise if we add on the premium beverage package/premium internet/gratuities/specialty dining/etc.
