I can’t imagine. My wife and I went on Celebrity Baltic Cruise for 6 thousand dollars for 12 days in a Suite (did not even count excursions or drinks). We could have purchased a brand new car with what we spent, but it was such a wonderful time. Why would you want to go on the cheap? I did see the rooms that you will get for the bargain prices quoted here and they are awful. You want to at least get a Sky Suite if you are going to go on a cruise. Trust me!!! If you don’t want to spend money on a vacation than don’t go on a cruise. There are many other entertaining things to do.

I cruise 3-4 times a year. Celebrity is great, if you like formality. The food is GREAT, staff wonderful, and the ships are SPOTLESS!

RCCL is the owner now, and the guy that made Celebrity is head of MSC now. They are a shipping family that started cruisers in the 90's. Italian food and service, and lots of clean air aboard. They give a lot of bang for the buck.

My ideal cruise begins with a flight to Italy, a week or two in the fall feasting on the local fare, then a 16-18 day transatlantic. I don't normally spring for the suites, but the price on these are cheap. Most cruise lines offer a discounted T/A both ways. I spend my money on shore, not the casinos. I don't spend a lot of time in my room, so I buy cheap. The ship is open for all...

Here is one from Spain to Miami next month! Click the pic for itinerary.
