Perhaps we'll bump into you and your wife on the cruise. Trish
You are right, the reason it is more expensive is you are paying for the entertainers and the special theater set-up. They have the AAA people right at the theater entrance to ensure no one who is not a Rocky & Rollers cruiser gets in for the special performances each night. A few try sneaking in but it did not work as far as I could tell.

For us, it was just about the same price as what we could have gotten for the regular cruise because of some promotional discounts, stock perks for onboard credits, and a little bit of negotiation with Debbi of AAA.

It was a great trip and so much fun to meet all the entertainers. Bowzer of ShaNaNa is a great guy and enjoyed meeting the guests.
