@admin, Do they tend to do black Friday deals? I'm on the Jan sailing out of new york and with it being 11 nights trying to get it as cheap as possible as I'm in the position where i don't really drink but being forced to have it because my other half wants it. What's the cheapest anyone has seen it? It seems to be fluctuating from £34 to £43 per day.
