Ingredient Nº 3

Are there any in your group who would budget above the average?

Some families splurge on a balcony or suite while others keep it simple. Everyone can still sail together.

Cabins hold 2 to 4. The 3rd and 4th guests usually pay much less, so sharing can bring everyone's average down.
