Yeow, so that's what I would probably pay (minus the drink package) to be trapped on a free cruise with a bunch of people I don't like?
(If you couldn't tell, I'm not a "cruise guy". Never wanted to go on one, just curious because of the promo, but only if it were really free.)
I'm not a cruise guy either. Aside from everything else, it has always sounded less attractive than going to a resort destination directly, with multiple locations, dining options, other activities available and competing for your patronage.
When I lived on Antigua, above Dickenson Bay, cruise ships docked in St. John a few times per week. I would vastly prefer the ocean view from the beach and less-hurried activities on land than what I saw "cruisers" get during 4 hours of shore leave.
(Onshore, the rum was literally free if you bought a coke at the bar, "Lashings", right down the beach)
