That’s pretty good. Cruises can be a real bargain. Just two months before 9/11 we took a Carnival Cruise out of New York to St. John and Halifax. I think the total cost was $500 for two with an inside cabin. I had fun going up to the highest deck as we were leaving the Hudson to watch the stack clear the Verrazano Bridge by a mere foot or two. That first night out, I spent some time in the sauna which had a huge picture window on one side. I sat in there drinking ice water from a tap, looking through the window as the sun set over the North Atlantic, while listening to Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma over the sound system, and thought “This isn’t bad for the price”.

YAP, and when one is lying on their death bed, will one regret more having enjoyed too many things, or will regret more having lived a life of caution and frugality and crawling into a shell to avoid the slim chance of catching a virus and leaving a barrel full of money behind? Believe me that day will come with metaphysical certainty in your life.
