Not so expensive for a Western Caribbean. Total for both of us including shore excursions in every port was about $2300.00 (about 1436.00GBP). If I had not booked the shore excursions our total was $1720.00 (1074.00GBP). It's 7 nights in a balcony cabin. SO EXCITED! Now cruises going to more exotic destinations (the Med, Baltic, South America, Hawaii, Tahiti) are MUCH more expensive. Keep in mind I also got a discount because I booked it through our agency so I payed net (the amount less the agency commission) so I saved about $200 total. Every little bit helps.

It was totally worth spending part of my tax refund. We haven't had a true vacation in almost 9 years!

Well, the state if Georgia says that if you voluntarily worked the hours knowing that you would not be paid overtime then the company does not have to follow the labor law. Gotta love the South. You don't work the overtime, you lose your job. You work the overtime, you get screwed. Really messed up huh?
