You know, it's funny, the way cruising has changed since we started cruising in 1987. Back then, you didn't even have to smuggle liquor or wine onboard, you just carried it on. However, prices for cabins were a lot more. Our first cruise was on NCL Seaward, outside cabin on the lowest deck. We paid $1100 a person for a week in that dinky cabin in 1987. For $1100 a person these days, you can get a week in a suite.. ....but then your drinks cost $10 a piece!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
