Hey I got my degree at The Blue Light Special at K-Marts! I also just take one cruise a year right now, I do my own Booking and also I get a Military Discount through Carnival! I got my Cruise For Two People with Taxes and Gratuities for a Extended Balcony for $1,539.12, we only take $800.00 for onboard or offship buying, we know what we want and we budget for it for the Year, we cut out extra extravagant things we really dont need, we only do a cruise and Maybe a Camping trip for our Enjoyment and Relaxation, Ill always take my Cruise no matter the situation!
