The world of travel has changed and it has affected you and many others. Sadly, all hospitality venues and carriers have experienced tremendous losses and also are moving forward with tremendous price adjustments. Whether cruises, hotels, or airfares, the double digit increases are painful, but if we wish to experience any of them, we will choose to pay or not. Our personal choice is to pay what and when we can - the world is now, not what it used to be. Do enjoy whatever methods of travel are best for you @sambamama.
