Thanks.
I checked the website, and, as enticing as it sounds, I will NOT be affording the one that traces the path of Jean LaFitte this year.

It's cheaper than a Grand Suite on Voyager of the Seas.....

OK, Ladies I see your point.

But when looking at the prices on a cruise like this, things to keep in mind are:
1- the ship goes where almost no one else goes. Less competition can drive a price up.
2- Fewer cabins means fewer people to spread the port charges across.
3- Almost ALL extra expenses are included. Those can add 30% to the price of a standard cruise. All tips and excursions are included. All sodas and juices are included. This almost puts this line in league with Regent, except that the cabins are smaller.
