ikoolu Posted June 25, 2015 #31 Share Posted June 25, 2015 i think for the 16 days it was $240 each - we used it a lot the first 10 days or so then once in a while latter part of the cruise - best part is that 75% of the time it was just me and wife- i would grab a bucket of beers - book and set there read and watch - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
