Well, Trey's post the other day has inspired me to spend some more time with the wifey so we have started a change jar that we'll throw in whatever loose cash/change in to start saving up some money to be able to go on a cruise. I was looking it up online to get a estimated total cost to see how long it will take us to save up for this venture but am at a bit of a loss to get an estimated final cost. I know there are many variables ranging from how long the cruise is, what boat you go on, and whether you are on the inside, the outside, or have a balcony but would like to get a rough estimate of how much it would cost. One I was looking at was roughly $600 which I would assume is the room charge. It said, however, that this does not include the taxes which could reach upwards of $300 per person. For those who have been on cruises before what did it end up running you and/or what would you expect to pay to go on another? Initially I was thinking that $1,000 would pretty well cover everything but am now unsure. We would be leaving from Galveston so there wouldn't be any airfare included. We don't really mind the destination, nor do we mind where in the boat we are, a balcony would be nice but can get pricey. All we really care about is having the ability to escape for 5-7 days and not have to worry about anything except for spending time together. Any tips/advice would greatly be appreciated! :thumbs:
