Ebbie ... you are correct ... when you purchase a ticket for a cruise, the price is usually 'all inclusive' ... the exception being with us, what we won, is quite different with what one purchases.

Sinsull .. our 'winning ticket' is with Carnival Cruises .. I think 'Carnival' is self explanatory in itself .. what you described is what I envision .. and it certainly isn't attractive.

One Big Floating Carny ... well, some peeple like that kind of stuff.

This is a pic I took of a Carnival Cruise liner in Saint JOhn Harbour.
