for the higher cost. but you know what, if thats all she has to pay during her 10 days cruise (even though she is working) then i would just pay it and enjoy.
the entertainment get to have a lot of free time, and at an average of $6 a day to do this, its not much.
of course it doesnt answer the question, but it sort of puts it all into perspective.
these ships are beautiful. i work in tourism here in bali and we did the ground operations for Holland America last week, as well as the one coming up. i was lucky enough to have the grand tour last week in Java and i was surprised at how much i enjoyed it.
if she does get to Komodo, she would be crazy to not go on shore. crew usually get to be tour escorts and have a great day out at the same time. god, if i could do that at no cost, i would certainly take advantage.
