    Jade

    Asked on July 15th, 2024

    I want to share a twin cabin travelling April 20 Apr to 27 April. I would need a cabin with a full window - not high windows. Are the advertised Prices for High or full window suites? What happens if I book and "pay Once" - the deposit but cannot find a travel buddy or... the one I find cancels? There is a cruise that filling fast, and it says: twin share room for 12 Nov to 1 Nov 2024. Is this someone looking for a travel buddy to share?

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      I am interested in this tour. However, it looks a little beyond my budget as I was looking at something around $5000 for 2 persons. Please can you send me a competitive pricing and also the itinerary, some recent reviews and the payment method.
