We found an extraordinary deal

Go to the cruises to go part of that site and click on the '90 day ticker'
link. This takes you to a very long list of cruises to every part of the world
at deeply discounted prices. As the date of the cruise nears the prices often
continue to improve. Our tickets for a 14 day cruise are $900 for a cabin with
a balcony looking out on the sea. We figure anytime you can get an all
inclusive price less than $100 a day now days, you are doing pretty well. This
price is...under $65 a day. Quite a savings! and with a balcony. Here is our
cabin layout.
Our itinerary sounds great. too! We fly to LA on Allegiant Airlines out of B'ham, a direct flight for only $100. We board the Coral Princess, one of the Princess Cruise Line's fleet and spend 5 days at sea followed by ports of call in Costa Rica, two stops in Panama on the way through the canal, a stop in Cartegena, Columbia and another a day in Aruba. Then we head for Fort Lauderdale.
At each of our ports of call we have planned shore excursions that let us enjoy the city sites and natural beauty of the country. Aboard ship we will, of course, enjoy the cuisine but also the outdoor big screen movie theater, the art auction and take walks on the
