First cruise info. The cost of the cruise will include all taxes and port fees, as well as reserve a room for us 24 hrs. a day for our knitting and classes. The cost is $1129.00 for the week and will also include all your meals. At first I thought the cost would be less, but I was misinformed. Remember that this includes port fees and taxes, which will add up as you get on and off the ship at the different stops! We will be having a meeting in a couple of weeks at the shop for those who are local and need more information. Melissa from Craft Cuises just got home from a trip and I want to talk to her and have everything clear. If you are interested though, I would recommend putting down your $100. deposit now to reserve your spot and possibly get you upgrades later. The deposit goes up to $250. Aug. 28. The deposit is non refundable, but you can use it for 4 years. Call the shop (317) 638-1833 if you have any questions. ( check previous blog for # for craft cruises )
