[quote=Anonymous]It just seems like all vacations are mega-expensive. Some family members got what they called a "great" deal on a Carnival cruise, which is basically the cheapest cruise line anyway. It looks like for a non-balcony room for 4, it's about $4K. Add to that the cost of putting one of our kids in a family member's room, which looks to be about another $1K, and the flights to Florida for 5, which are another $2K, plus shore excursions for 5, and I don't see this costing less than $8K. Is that just what it costs to take a vacation with a family of 5, that is not an old school '70's road trip ? We've basically stopped taking vacations because I keep feeling like, for close to $10K, we should be doing something really extraordinary. But maybe my frame of reference is just all out of whack. So, tell me, wise parents of 3 or more children, is this just what it costs, or am I doing it all wrong? [/quote]
