Steviewonder1 Posted November 12, 2013 #53 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Ok, my wife and I are doing a bucket list of cruises to places we read about in school and can now set foot on them before we need a walker, crutches or a motorized scooter. We have and save $$$ for each one and pre-pay most of it ahead of time. Pricing is for 2 people 12 day Eastern Med Cruise in a PH Suite (S3) $11,500 (Yes we are spoiled rotten) R/T First Class Airfare (using Princess EZAir) $8400.00 (Yes again here also) If you don't fly first class your children will! Clothes for trip $2000 Hotel stay in Barcelona before trip $1000 Princess Excursions on trip $1500 Private Excursions on trip $900 Euro Princess Tab on ship $1500 Budget for Casino $1200, came back with $1200 Transport to/from Airport $225 Cruise Insurance $450 Grand total round numbers $27,825 As I said we Save and Budget for these trips.

Tiggertastic Posted November 12, 2013 #54 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I always use a spreadsheet for every cruise, work it all out and always forget to add in the spending money I think I just pretend that its not part of the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
