I'm the trouble maker that started this mess. :-) I want to thank everyone for their posts. You have all given me allot to think about. Heading into this cruise I had no idea all of the hundreds of dollars I was going to end up paying beyond the initial cost. My only remotely similar vacation was to Riviera Maya to an all inclusive resort. I have always comments on how I could have gotten there, stayed buzzed and eaten myself into oblivion without paying a singe cent extra.
