Since the cruise gives us the best value lets look at why. There is no airfare included. So if we had to fly into LAX and transfer to the ship it would be the same as the other two.
So lets start looking at our budget.
One Year Savings Plan : One Year Savings Plan Lets just make it an even $1300 because we want to have an extra couple of hundred on hand, just in case.
So that’s $108.33 per month for a year
Or $324.99 every three months
Or $27.08 per week
Or $3.87 per day
Is it affordable now?
