We talk about the low air fares that we’re seeing from the East Coast, including airfare for only $414 from Washington, DC. We also discuss how cruises are a great deal with inside cabins going for as low as $1000 per person. We’ve not seen pricing like this for over a year for the NCL ships. We also talk about cruises for 2009 and give a quick snapshot of some of the dates and cruises that are available from the mainland for next year.
