There will be a limited number of ports visited. The prices are quite reasonable, and can often be a great bargain. You while away the day at the pool, playing bridge, going to the spa, taking a nap in a deck chair, and , most importantly, forgetting about the troubles of the world. At night, you eat, drink, dance, and go to shows.

All the lines are presently booking these for this Fall. We just signed on with Princess for Southampton-Ft. Lauderdale in November, getting a mini-suite (actually, a large balcony room) for $160/night/person.

OUCH - $160pp. That's pretty steep. I have been doing 2 TAs a year for about 11 years now and never paid that much for a small suite. I'd shop around!
