Questions
What is actually included?
Typically everything: suites, dining at every venue, drinks, excursions, Wi-Fi and gratuities. Spas, premium wines and flights are the usual extras.
Is it worth the money?
You are paying for space, staff ratio and the removal of friction. If those matter to you, it is worth it; if not, a small ship gives you the same ports for less.
Can I book a single cabin?
Yes, and the best lines have purpose-built singles rather than charging a double supplement for a cabin built for two.
