Since we've been working on learning the ins and outs of booking our first cruise we've centered on the cruise itself. We knew were were going transatlantic and would have to fly home one-way from Europe.When we go to Europe we always go Business Class. In fact, we refuse to travel any other way between the mainland and Europe or Hawaii. Not to be snobish, it's just that life is too short to spend 10 hours in coach if you don't have to.
So, while we were concentrating on staterooms, promo packages and cruise pricing we didn't bother to look at the air fare.
Well, today we did check on the air fare and to our surprise it cost fully 140% more to fly from Rome to Texas one-way than traveling ROUNDTRIP from Rome to Texas and back via Business Class.
A Rome/Texas roundtrip in Biz Class was about $3,400 a person. But one-way Rome to Texas was $4,900 per person.
Imagine our shock when one-way air fare after our cruise would be $10,000!!!!
We're checking a number of options still, but this may just be a deal killer for us. Of course, we could always book a R/T and cancel the return portion of the trip. But even if that would work it would cost $6,800 just for the air fare home.
Almost half of the fare price is taxes.

In 2011 we were on the Westerdam, wanting a small brew i inquired at the Marketplace for a cold one. Found out that it was more than what it would cost on board. I let them keep it for somebody else.
