This has been great info, thanks to all who have posted!
Its very hard to say no to a "free" cruise - when all you pay are port charges and taxes. My husband, mother and I will sail the Panama Canal next April for next to nothing on Carnival. They offer us free cruises multiple times a week!
I want to return to NCL and RCCL - and we ARE. But again, its hard to say no to suites, drinks and cruises. I wish NCL especially would join the crowd!
Enjoy your cruises and be safe!
