While helping a friend book her family cruise for next June, I found this AMAZING deal and wanted to share it with you.
This is an Expedia Cruises group deal which means the rate and onboard credit are NOT available when you book directly through the cruise line. However, cabins ARE limited.
A deposit of $250/person will secure your booking, and final payment isn't due until next Spring! The "total" prices include port charges and taxes, but not drink packages or gratuities.
$50 onboard credit per cabin.
